If an accountant in an office (private sector) or a postman in the mailing room (public sector) brought some hand guns and was jokingly threatening a co-worker with them in front of other co-workers, that would be fine.

And if the story got in the newspaper and the person took all the co-workers out to the counter and in front of a line of customers was dancing around pretending to fire a guy, that too would be OK.

And if all this was done in an area that lead the entire United States in handgun murders, that would just be seen as the ultimate in humor.

Right.

And if the person were not fired but simply reprimanded and came back 2 years later tweeting about how all the people in authority only picked on him, then that would be OK.

But we’re supposed to believe that when a professional athlete does it they’e being picked on unfairly, and we shouldn’t hold them to such a high standard?

You mean, like O.J. Simpson, right?

I started buying gold and silver in the early 2000′s.

One can tell this generation of America’s the truth that is staring them in the face, but they only get mad at the person pointing the situation out.

No matter how you spin it, the lockout is going to be a long one. But no matter the outcome, the fans will be back on day one with money falling out of their pockets. Until then it’s the players agents job to get them some of the fans money today.

Did you read the article?

“…but I’ve seen a bunch of guys do the same thing I did!”

And at the very end he makes an inauthentic attempt at owning up to the situation…

Pathetic.

The entire NBA is a joke. It doesn’t even pretend to act like a professional sports league anymore.

The daily stories involve a bunch of overgrown kids that make millions, tens of millions, and hindreds of millions, and they complain about every thing and everyone that won’t let them do what they want to do when they want to do it. From Lebron James to Carmelo Anthony to Amar-apostrophe-e Stoudemire to Gillbert Arenas, every time they mess something up it’s always someone else’s fault. These people have no responsibility to the employers or league that made them mulit-miallionaires. The coaches, GMS’, owners and league are just plain fortunate to have them – and all these people are making money off of their talents. But mostly, the fans have the ultimate pleasure of watching them play a game….if they feel up to it hat day. What a favor they’re do for the rest of humanity.

I was worried.

I thought maybe those statements his agent paid a PR firm to write that Arenas signed his name to might have has some effect – I mean, who in their right mind believed everything that was written.

But it is good to know that now that HE isn’t making “lots of money” he doesn’t have to take any responsibility for his actions, and he can assure us through Twitter that all those published statements that he signed and read to us weren’t true.

WWF, eat your hearts out. These NBA kids top your high school dropouts more by the day.

Now, you guys got anything from the Lebron circus today?
