All I can say is I hope the league does not back off one bit. It's about time these guys realize 1)It's a privledge, not their right to be making that kind of money playing pro-sports, 2) they're expected to keep their cool no matter what, 3)they're supposed to be role-models.
I'm also hoping to hear some criminal charges on the part of some of the fans as well. They also have no right to pull stunts like that (even if they are from Detroit).
Players Assoc not surprisingly just announced that it will appeal the suspensions. Man I hope they get shot down. Like I said earlier, make these guys work as trash collectors or at McDonald's for a season to remind them how privledged they really are.
Bighit26, as for the bit about being a rapper vs record producer or whatnot, the point remains he, like many other players brought that rapper/gansta/homey mentality on to the court with them, and what we've seen is the result. This ain't street ball down in the projects. If they wanna play like that, they can take there respective arses back to the projects and play street ball. If they wanna make the money, then they need to play like the NBA is meant to be played.
