This Is What’s Meant By a ‘Players’ League’

I was just reading the article on the Indiana Pacers in today’s sports page. As I was reading how Pacer guard Jalen Rose had told Coach Larry Brown to “shut up” in one of last year’s games, I heard the news on the radio that an arbitrator had ruled that the league must reinstate Golden State Warrior Latrell Sprewell after seven months, not the full year. Earlier in the morning I had been hearing on the radio how the Laker players had taken a 12-0 vote to dismiss Coach Del Harris.

I want a job like those guys have! Tomorrow morning when I go in to work I’m going to tell my boss to shut up if he bugs me. If he refuses to shut up, I’m first going to choke him, and then I’m going to get a bunch of my co-workers together and take a vote to dismiss him.

I’ll write back and let you guys know how it works.

In the United States, no one, even the president, is above the law. Except if you’re an NBA player.

I would never send a child of mine to Fordham Law School, given the interpretation of the law by the Sprewell arbitrator, who happens to be a law professor at Fordham.
