The NBA Players’ Union is appealing the suspensions of Indian Pacers Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, and Jermaine O’Neal. Under the rules, the appeal goes directly to David Stern, so they are asking that it be handled by an arbitrator. Once Stern refuses, can a lawsuit be far behind? Stern’s already getting phone calls from Jesse Jackson.
Meanwhile, some Detroit fans have already filed lawsuits against these three players, the Indiana Pacers and the Palace. More suits — against the Detroit Pistons organization, and the NBA itself — could well follow. Those who want to make a little money without incurring legal fees can help the police track down the chair thrower. There’s a $2,000 reward. Readers could use that money to buy the cup on E-bay.
