Say It Again
Allow me to repeat
myself: If bad stuff happens at work,
you go after the perpetrator, whether an accounts manager or a power
forward. I mean, we’re a society of
laws, right?
And what’s good for
Marshawn Lynch, i.e., a suspension, holds for the Bulls’ Bobby Portis, only
more so. Last week in practice, Portis
decked teammate Niko Mirotic, leaving Mirotic with a concussion and two broken
bones in his face that will require surgery. Mirotic could be out for up to six weeks.
The Bulls suspended
Portis eight games, which comes out to about ten percent of the season. Sorry, but it’s not enough. Not only should the NBA mete out punishment
to the third-year forward, they should slap a healthy fine on the Bulls’
organization as well. According to
reports, Portis and Mirotic have been feuding for a good year. If the coaching staff fails to catch it and
the front office fails too, then it’s time for the league to send them a
message, big time.
And if I’m Mirotic,
I’d definitely give thought to legal action.
The punch happened in public with plenty of witnesses. Lawyers have done plenty with less.
