I don't think he is a loose cannon. What gives you the right to judge him like that? I never said he shouldn't have been suspended. I did say his punishment was too harsh. But I never said he shouldn't serve it. I actually wrote, he should serve it and then he has a right to come back into the league. Let him serve his 73 games or whatever it is. I'm big on personal responsibility. He made a choice. He decided to go up into the stands. He decided to hit the guy. He should live with the consequences. Obviously, if it is deemed that Stern as the right to do this...then he should. I'm saying that he shouldn't be banned. And I'm saying what he did, while warranting a harsh punishment, doesn't make him a bad guy with the short fuse. I think a lot of people would have reacted the same way. The huge problem that America has with this is...well we all know what it is. -- 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:5:137537 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=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
