This is bullshit - FSU alum/fan

for a little while, then it'll be in the cloud. rinse and repeat.

another person who hasn't ever heard the expression, 'the crime doesn't fit the punishment'

fighting to get the team back would first mean fighting to get the lifetime ban lifted, which as we'd likely all agree, would not happen.

really? it's called an 'expression'

ban for life, dude. no one's getting banned for life for the wrong shoe laces

is that the case? maybe so. i was just under the impression that he could have no business relationships of any kind with the NBA...not sure if that extends to buying a ticket and/or attending a game

what i think was unjust was in this case, previous allegations/facts notwithstanding, was the lifetime ban (in other comments i changed my position on the being forced to sell his team aspect, agreeing with others who pointed out he violated NBA rules and was forced to sell his team accordingly). i don't see how what…

ok. do you feel the punishment fits the crime?

ridiculously punitive punishment for this guy. just listen to bill burr's bit on it and you'll get it.
