I thought about the suspensions and game of basketball.
This is entertainment.
I really don't want to see Artest out for the season and mess-up the Pacer team because some fans got him excited.
I think he should be FINED millions, but let him play. Supposedly, he'll lose about 5 million, since he won't play the rest of the season. Why not FINE him 4 million and let him play.
We still want to be entertained. Play basketball. It was only a small fight.
It's not like Tyson, where he bit someone's ear.
Same with the O'Neal and Jackson suspensions. Just FINE them heavily. They will get the message. 30 games and 25 games??? Way too many IMO.
Why wreck the entire PACER team. The fans from Detroit will love the fact that they were able to mess-up the entire PACER team.
How does this help the sport? Key player don't play - so who wants to watch? This is just entertainment. It's not the OLYMPICS, where honor and pride are at stake.
It's a tough sport. We watch, because the players are tough.
If a movie star gets in trouble, does the industry ban him?
