NBA PLAYERS: ARE THEY TEMPER TANTRUM-THROWING KIDS?
December 5, 2006Get ready folks, because now we are going to hear how the basketball players in the NBA are being “unfairly punished” for their actions and reactions on the game floor during a game.
The referees are just enforcing already stated policies of the NBA regarding how a player should act both on and off the court. It is time for the paying customers to boycott the NBA for the actions of the players, because the players have now taken for granted who pays their salaries and who basically provides them with a job.
The players should accept the rules and abide by them. The NBA sets these rules for the games so that nothing gets out of hand and we don’t end up seeing brawls on the game floor – and in the stands. People pay to see a game. If they wanted to see brawls they, could pay to go see the WWE. If the players had any brains and the intelligence to use them, they would see that it is in their best interest to abide by the rules in the NBA because it will further their individual careers, but most players nowadays are self-centered, egotistical little boys.
So, when will the basketball players do what they are paid to do (even if it is a bit over the top for some mediocre players to get all that money just so that we can just hear them run their mouths about how bad it is playing in the NBA with the new rules)?
Yes, it is time to boycott the NBA. All fans of what use to be professional basketball need announce and organize an all out boycott of the league. Last night’s fight between the Nuggetts and the Knicks is the final straw. These overpaid gangstars and there overseers in the League Office (Stern, Jackson, etc.) need to know that the fan is what makes the game so large and profitable.
I call on all NBA fans to cease watching games on television, stop buying NBA apparell (particularly player jerseys and sneakers) and to stop buying tickets and attending games. The NBA is out of control.
