Guest The_Siegel_Senior Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Is the NBA heading in the wrong direction? I mean kids are entering the NBA at 18 and 19...dont even think about college...I think they should instate the rule like the NFL has where you must go to college for a short period of time...and at least pretend like you care about your education...I mean I just dont think it is fair for men to be playing with boys...and then the Brawl in Detriot...nothing needs to be said about that...that was a disgrace to sports...and then the following day, there is a football brawl between South Carolina and Clemson on the field during the game...Kids are looking up to these athletes who are fighting fans and each other, having problems with the police and other government officials, calling other players names on national tv saying things such as "if you dont like me, you must be the problem"...what kind of image is that sending to the kids of today? I think the NBA needs to crack down on its coachs, players, and fans...They need to get it back to the game of basketball...the NBA, sometimes I feel, is now becoming more of a soap opera than an actual game....

Bighurt Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 The NBA has concentrated its marketing strategy on guys like Iverson, Kobe Byrant, Vince Carter and Lebron James. It is not about substance. It is about style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
