So Artest doesn't get to play even though: A) There are teams that want him B) He meets all objective standards to play C) He has the talent to play D) He didn't violate any rule in the collective barganing agreement? Either you are suggesting that the CBA be changed to include such unacceptable behavior or you are suggesting that Artest be judged against a different, and more subjective, set of rules. If you are suggesting the first, then one can't say he doesn't deserve or has no business being in the NBA. Because according to the rules as they are set now, he has as a legitimate reason to be there. Personally, I like to see him gone because a) I do think that the NBA maybe too much pressure for a man of his intensity b) he isn't the best role model for kids and c) the Pacers are an Atlantic Division foe. -- 2004 - The year $184M couldn't buy a pennant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137482 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
