More waste of time

A chairman of a House subcommittee wants to interview NBA commissioner David Stern over the fact an NBA referee was found to be betting on basketball games including ones he officiated. Rep. Bobby Rush, from Illinois, believes this could be one of the most damaging incidents in sports if the allegations are proven true. Maybe it would be if people gave a rat's ass about the NBA. Rush says the sport has been dogged by allegations its games are fixed, which is true. Those allegations are made by fans whose teams are from small market towns who think David Stern wants to see the Knicks, Bulls and Lakers in the finals every year. Maybe if credible people were making this remarks it might mean something. I would think the head of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection would have more important issues to deal with. Maybe next he'll go after pro wrestling because he's heard it's fixed. Another jackass that got elected...way to go America.
