NBA Suspends Gilbert Arenas, Teammate for Rest of Season

[Bill]

NEW YORK — NBA commissioner David Stern has suspended Washington Wizards guards Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton for the remainder of the season for having guns in the locker room.

Saying possession of guns in the workplace "will not be tolerated," Stern delivered the punishment Wednesday after meeting with Arenas earlier in the day, turning his indefinite suspension into a suspension without pay.

Crittenton met with Stern on Tuesday and also was suspended without pay.

Arenas pleaded guilty Jan. 15 to a felony gun charge after an alleged confrontation with Crittenton in the Wizards' locker room at Verizon Center in Washington.

Arenas is scheduled to be sentenced March 26. He's in the second season of a six-year, $111 million contract.

I think both of them should have lost their jobs forever. I don't know about your work place but where I work anyone who brings a gun into work gets fired.
Let them look for a job in one of the European leagues.

And people still think that athletes should be role models.

[edededed]

Do people think that? What ever for?

[Bär]

Beats me. I really wish I knew why people think that athletes are anything but athletes.

Hmm, made him a criminal for carrying a gun ... tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder if they'll make that a rule in the AABA? Why aren't people out there screaming for his 2nd Amendment rights?
