I was told that the rateing will go up and the bad boys will make more money because fans are stupid.

To quote a country song: "Why can't we all just get a longneck?"

So they can't find the guy? Gee maybe he's Canadian and hightailed it back to Windsor. Will Canada extradite him if this is the case.

I disagree. Stadium beer cups are very small.

the NBA is a bunch of rappin' thugs, who'd be selling drugs if they weren't playing b'ball. Anyone who frequents their games or buys their merchandise is a FOOL!

I'm ready for the end of professional sports (as it is now). They're all a bunch of arrogant bastards. EVERYONE - Boycott professional sports!! Don't you have something better to do than sit on your ass in front of the TV for 20 hours a week watching a bunch of sweaty men handle balls of one kind or another? It's the only way that things will change. If we keep pumping money into it, they'll keep thinking it's acceptable.

That sentence could have been thought out a little better.

As a kid growing up in the late 40's and early 50's, I agree. "WHEN IT WAS A GAME"........is lost and gone forever. Curt Flood's sacrifice made millionaires out of 250 hitters and pitchers with an era over 5.00 but there must be some middle ground between the spoiled rotten children playing sports today and the under contract players owned by the TEAM they played for.

Personally I believe NO GUARENTEED contracts, single year only with EVERYONE from Jordon in Basketball to Barry Bonds in baseball having to WIN their position every year, that is the way it used to be and IMHO still should remain.

Hmm - who's a better role model - Marines in Iraq or these thugs? And who gets protected by the liberal press and who gets criticized by the liberal press?

If they did that, players would know their career could be over with one injury and would play very inihibited thus ruining the game.
