Judgement Day For The NBA

January 2, 2010 @ 12:33

Check that, in some ways it's judgment day for all of professional sports.

If reports are true, and Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton actually drew guns on each other in the Wizards locker room last month, anything short of a life time ban from the NBA will not be adequate.

Their contracts should be cancelled and they should be banned from the league, not for a game not for a season, but forever.

This is a league that's already full of creeps and thugs but pulling guns in a locker-room takes a huge leap over any line the league could draw.

In October it came to light that several NBA players carried guns on the street, using self-protection as their pitiful excuse and at the time NBA Commissioner David Stern issued a statement requesting that NBA player "not" carry guns because it left the wrong impression and harmed the reputation of the league.

So what now?

The most disturbing part of this latest story is the accusation that the Wizards management actually knew about the locker-room gun slinging, but tried to keep it secret.

Isn't that wonderful?

That's where professional sports have gotten to. So consumed by money, fame and win columns, team owners and management are willing over-look federal law and keep things hush-hush to protect their over-paid, bogus-educated and socially screwed employees.

Needless to say the NBA is worse than any other league when it comes to harbouring imbeciles but this latest event affects all leagues. It's time to crack down on the attitude that professional athletes are somehow above the law or subject to different rules than the rest of us.

If the NBA does not act severely on this latest incident an attitude will prevail that all pro athletes are special, and that these reluctant role models can do pretty much anything they want.

This is serious stuff, especially for a league that appeals to America's most underprivileged and troubled youth.

For many, a broken down basketball court and net-less hoop represent a way out of poverty and a brighter future - to have the Washington locker-room showdown go unchecked will deliver a disturbing message to those kids who already find themselves around too much violence.

Yes, its judgment day for the NBA and Commissioner David Stern has the opportunity to act on behalf of every decent fan, player and citizen of North America.

Allow due process, and then throw both these bastards out of the league.

Time to move past Tiger's trangression and look a little more closely at the NBA. The NBA has long been the catch-basin for talented basketball boyz from the hood. It's really too bad some of the good guys (like Nash) have to be associated with the rest of the trash that comprise this league. Learn to speak english boyz and make sure you can spell your name when you graduate (?) from high school or dare I say university (joke). Maybe then you will get some respect.

The NBA, NFL and professional sports in general have become a collection of ghetto athletes with ghetto attitudes and aptitudes. Long live the NHL!

I realize there is gang banging going on here but my kids don't look up to them
ban them all and fold the league

NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS & E & Minor league teams, businesses and organizations try to cover up the activities of their employees.

It's not just a problem with the NBA.

Punishment should fall on the players & the organization if they put up with the gun play.

Freddie,
I don't know what makes you think this league is going to be any different, remember Spreewell choking his coach? He should have been out for life like any normal person who works for an organization would be had they choked their supervisor/boss but he was allowed back and since then I wouldn't walk across the street to see an NBA game if it was free. Michael Vick is allowed to play football again for dog fighting which to me and many others is one step shy of rape and murder in my book, what makes you think professional sports will do good this time. You are absolutely right, these two idiots should be shown the door and both should be prepared to use what little education they have retained in their thinly designed skulls to find a new job....maybe drug dealing or dog fighting would fit these two very well. Id like them both to find a job other than Basketball that could do what it does for them.
Maybe pro leagues should have more of a role when rookies come in to lay out what their careers are about, that if they screw it up they will not be allowed back into their privileged positions.

Yeah, long live the NHL with its good kids like patrick kane.

This is deplorable but let's not pretend the NBA is the only league with a holes. Any organization where 20 yr olds make millions is going to create some real douchebags.

January 4, 2010 / 10:10

Athletes (pro and college) have always been pampered and protected from the realities of the world. If not for the absence of athletic scholarships to Canadian universities, you would see more of the same behaviour in the NHL. Pro and collegiate athletes bring in big bucks to team owners and alumni so of course they are going to protect their "investments"


Buffalo Boy Mike
January 4, 2010 / 14:31

Argie Im not going to answer because the answer you seek is one that could be racist and stereotyping and that is not the answer I have for you.
I honestly don't know why that is. You also don't hear as much about it in baseball, one theory I have is Football and Basketball don't have the minor league systems in place that Hockey and Baseball do to help ease youngsters into the pressure cookers of the big league.
Maybe, the NBA could easily do it, the NFL can't really because careers can be so short and really a lot of players are at the peak of their ability in the NFL right out of college.

BufMike: You were quick to play the race angle.

I was wondering maybe it has to do with the nationalities of the athletes.

Is it always about race with you hardcore liberals??


Right Uppercut
January 4, 2010 / 23:19

Whenever liberals know they are losing, (which is every time!), they trot out the same ol' tired 'racist' chant, to try and mute us who are RIGHT!

Expect the same from them, again, and again, and again.


JP
January 5, 2010 / 00:08

Oh please, Argie. That comment was referring to their nationalities? There's plenty of Americans in baseball and hockey for that matter. The first thing that pops to mind about the NBA is not 'wow, a lot of Americans in that league'.

Whether liberal or conservative, most people would assume you were referring to something about race.

To act indignant like that never occurred to you is pretty juvenile. Even if that's not what you meant, anyone can see how easily that comment could construed that way.
