It makes me sick.
I love NBA basketball, but when it really comes down to it, the whole league could disappear and it doesn't actually matter. It's just entertainment. They need to stick to business like health care, making sure our troops get everything they need to succeed (or a way to get the hell out of that war), the poor state of education, and on and on and on. But a crooked ref makes for some headlines and name recognition gets votes.
I apologize for my rant.

A damn good rant. This congress may go down as the congress that does the least but has more hearings, subpoenas, investigations in history.
