 theres a nasty storm brewing outside. its real bad. you could say that
something
wicked
this way
comes.
the slave masters have all come home to roost.
these days, people call them the commissioners.
warren sapp called paul tagliabu a slave master after he got fined for hassling a zebra. tags had no response. just a U-O-me. hes higher that responding to players. tagliabu leads the front office conspiracy of racism in the nfl. he wants nothing more than the league to be represented not by the best players, but by the prettiest white quarterback. no you cant take your helmet off, randy moss. no, you cant sell ron mexico jerseys. we wouldnt want people to think that the nfl actually likes black players, now would we?
of course not.
gary bettman is the devil in disguise. the professional sports equivalent of george dubya bush, he'd rather stand by his principles and be right than, um, have a single game be played. theres a reason why before this year, no professional sports league had every lost an entire season to a labor dispute. its because at the end of the day, every other sports league in north america cares about playing the game. bettman, the most powerful man in hockey, doesnt give a damn about the game.
kinda like a commander in chief who doesnt give a damn about the troops.
bud selig is just one big floppy cock. hes tried to keep baseball above the law for years and years. but when all of a sudden, no ones talking about barry bonds or balco anymore, he wants harsher steriods testing. john kerry pulled this same stunt when dean came out against war in iraq. he saw the polls and wanted the same thing. follow suit. become a chameleon of convictions. be what you think others want you to be because you have not the spine nor the talent to desire it yourself.
the ashlee simpson effect, if you will.
and now, they have a fourth. david stern, the most straight up, the most well liked, the most respected of Those That Control Professional Sports has gone and lost his damn mind. one hundred large for complaining about the refs? the way stern is pulling out his bollocks on good ol jeff, youd think he burned down grandma stern's house and pissed on the ashes. van gundy is posturing, like every coach does, especially ones in the playoffs. the rockets are the underdog, and he wants everyone to know it. its part of the game.
just like fighting in hockey. just like beaning in baseball. just like showboating in football. theyre part of the essence of sport, and cannot be legislated out with big fat fines or harsh words in the press.
the office of the commish: no sports, just games.
