| I think almost no one will blame a card game. Most will think its just another pampered and spoiled professional athlete doing whatever he feels like because he is a star. Unfortunately, some will also call attention to the race of this particulate athelete. Sorry for bringing it up, but sadly it is true. |

| re: Black eye for US poker Here is an article about that incident. This thuggish behavior is an embarrassment and one of the reasons I no longer follow the NBA. From Latrell Sprewell attacking his coach, to Kobe Bryant being charged with rape, to Ron Artest charging into the stands to attack a fan and now this, it's hard to support the NBA. So I don't! http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4787825 |

| Seems like a players who make millions of dollars think that the laws (however you feel about them) doesn't apply to them. They should be treated like anyone who breaks the law. I guess alot of superstars want to be gangsters as well as a millionaires. If they worry about being hurt or anything else, hire a body guard. Just my thoughts. Take care |

| Too bad they don't have 'virtual guns' for online poker (that you could purchase with FPPs). I'd be racking up the FPP's for more ammo (shooting gun at donkey emits an electrical shock from their mouse.... only to be used during tournament play when donkey's terribad call KO's you from tourney). |

Couldn't agree more, NBA players have to get rid of this ghetto mentality that alot posess. I know it is just a few bad eggs, just because you came from the ghetto doesn't mean you have to still act ghetto once you get in the league. They should be trying to help, ecpecially where alot of these guys came from. I sympathize but then stuff like this happens and you wonder why you even care. |

If you make it against the law to carry guns, the only people who are going to be packing heat is criminals. They already have the intention of robbing/killing/hurting etc. /thread derail |

| I can't belive most of you all belive this doesn't reflect poker but the NBA\NFL.With all that us here in the US are putting up with about poker rights etc.Hell i can not play poker here in Alabama but i can go to another county an play (bingo)it's a mfing slot machine,but i can't play poker hahaha.We have tried hard to say the game has cleaned up in the later half of the 20th century to get rid of the wild wild west mentality.Now when poker comes up this is going to be fuel for the fire just watch poker\gambling =crime\murder etc. |

| well this is the best is the best thing that could have happened to the wizards franchise. when gilbert arenas is found guilty in front of a federal jury for having a firearm in a locker room(a rule not allowed by the players union, the wizards will have the right to terminate the rest of his contract. i think the whole card situation is hilarious and i know arenas is trying to quiet it down, but the wizards are the true winners here. |
