The NBA play ground for dumb jocks
The NBA is notable the training camp for dumb jocks and I am not talking academically. These superb athletes with such fine bodies leave much to be desired when it come to common sense. The latest debacle is Gilbert Arenas pulling a gun in the team’s locker room prompting his teammate Jarvis Crittenton pull his!
These men are now trying to downplay the seriousness of their actions. But it not funny when guns come out for any reason unless you are a police and are there to protect and serve.
The NBA alone has some strict rules about players and guns. So both can and will feel the foot of David Stern on their necks. Some writers are throwing around that he should be fined to the tune of 10 million dollars. But when you look at a 100 million purse, that won’t be much of a punishment. Maybe a year suspension without pay would be just the thing to get his attention and realize what not to do in the locker room!
I, for one, would like to see these young men put on notice that they need to grow up. Just because you can play ball doesn’t mean you don’t have to live by the same rules the rest of us abide by.
