I think they were saying that he shouldn't be in the NBA unless he is going to stop being an ass.
These people get paid to play basketball. They have gotten to big for their britches and some times they need to be put back into their place. Artest was out of line, I'm sure he will even agree with that now, however he did attack somebody in the crowd, not in self defense but in retaliation. He should be arrested and charged according to the laws of the city and state. Artest did break a few rules, he entered the stands, he also broke a few laws by punching the spectators. -----Original Message----- From: Won Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 2:28 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: NBA 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137485 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
