More Sports Idiocy

.
But this time it's UN-slavery. Well that's what I'd call it IF you threaten to sue anyone who gives WORK to someone. Read on.
.
.
The Portland Trail Blazers sent an email to rival team executives late Thursday threatening possible litigation to any franchise that signs free-agent forward Darius Miles for the “purpose of adversely impacting the Portland Trail Blazers’ salary cap and tax positions.”
.
“The Portland Trail Blazers are aware that certain teams may be contemplating signing Darius Miles to a contract for the purpose of adversely impacting the Portland Trail Blazers Salary Cap and tax positions,” Blazers president Larry Miller wrote in the email to representatives of every NBA team.

.
.
Just how crazy are these sports people?
.
Does ANYONE think the following e-mail would be acceptable, if not openly ridiculed?
.
.
“The management and franchisee of McDonalds on Main Street are aware that certain other burger stores may be contemplating signing Tiffany Jones to a contract for the purpose of adversely impacting the McDonalds on Main Street Salary Cap and tax positions,” McDonalds manager Dave Goofawitz e-mailed other stores in his area.
.
.
I expect Mr Goofawitz would be laughed out of town. And don't give me a bunch of balloon juice about millions spent, billions invested. McDonalds doesn't get 12 bucks every time some gang banger buys a McD's Crew Uniform with TIFFANY'S name tag on it.

I bet he's a silly share-the-wealth liberal.

Speaking of which - how soon after the little black messiah takes office do I begin getting money in the mail from rich people?
