Resting? You Gotta Be Kidding Me!!!!!!

Resting? You Gotta Be Kidding Me!

As we head towards the NCAA Mens basketball championship, the start of the 2017 Major League Baseball Season and Augusta, the top story in sports is that our overpaid underworked pro athletes need to rest their multi million dollar bones while playing 8 months a year----I kid you not.

A new innovative idea was launched by the San Antonio Spurs coach Popovich a few years back—he would at times rest his star players Dunkin, Ginobili, and Parker often times in the same game to rest for post season play. At the time coach Pop was lauded as a genius and the sports mouthpieces heaped huge amount of praise his way. Fast forward to the last couple of weeks, in their signature Saturday night prime time game coaches decided to sit out combinations of their star players for rest.

Well lo and behold it suddenly dawned on someone that this is at best unwise if not outright foolish and disrespective to the slobs who pay over 200 bucks to sit in the nosebleeds or stay home on Saturday night to watch LeBron or Curry. You can be sure ESPN, ABC, TNT etc are about to ask for a refund or discount for the astronomical rights fees they have paid to the NBA as well as advertises who thought their commercial would be seen by the masses as King James and Curry were raining down threes. Ohhh and by the way the slobs spending hundreds of dollars for tickets, beer etc aka YOU deserve to have your money back as well

I come from a different time when athletes played entire seasons and virtually every game. Does anyone remember Michael Jordan being rested? Look it up you will see he played at least 80 games a year and more including playoffs I never heard the word rest when Michael was playing. For that matter in what I consider the golden age of the NBA I never heard of Frazier, Reed, Barry, Barkley, Magic, and Bird resting.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOS IS NEED TO BE STOPPED!!!!

HERE IS HOW I WOULD DEAL WITH THIS

1-The NBA should Implement a fine of millions of dollars for resting players

2-The NBA should refund all monies paid to ticket holders on an ongoing basis

3-The NBA should provide refunds and/or make goods to all media rights holders

4- All players should be paid on a per game basis

Now lets see who needs to be rested. Football and hockey to name two sports are much more physically demanding and resting might be a bit more appropriate in those sports….Might
