There's no point in a game w/ a bunch of full replacements and this is bullshit so make them just forfeit. Fine them as well. Keep doing it suspend them/bar from the playoffs. It's literally just asking them to do the bare minimum of their contract, play the games.

Lol how's that? Players sitting after they've clinched they playoffs is caused by the NBA? Hilarious you say this when the top comment is the literal opposite, complaining that this is forcing them to play.

Forfeit the game and cancel it. Reason #866457 NBA ratings have been circling the toilet, players are such divas they don't even fucking play the game. See also any team with a secure playoff spot.

Why? Bands wearing another bands tee is like the most stereotypical thing I can think of. But you don't wear the tee of the band you're seeing kids.

Reply to FBI: Mandalay Bay shooter in Las Vegas who killed 58 was angry about how casinos treated him by YourUncleBuck
Nah doesn't line up. What makes a lot more sense is be was a right wing nutjob.
>>Did the FBI Downplay the Far-Right Politics of Las Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock?
>Paddock appeared fixated on three pillars of right-wing extremism: anti-government conspiracy theories, threats to Second Amendment rights, and overly burdensome taxes. For instance, one witness told Las Vegas police that Paddock was “kind of fanatical” about his anti-government conspiracies and that he believed someone had to “wake up the American public” and get them to arm themselves in response to looming threats. Family members and associates of Paddock painted a picture of a man who loathed restrictions on gun ownership and believed that the Second Amendment was under siege, according to our review of their statements to investigators after the shooting and other documents compiled by the authorities.

>But tantalizingly, people who encountered Paddock before his shooting say that he expressed conspiratorial, anti-government beliefs, which are characteristic of the far right.
>In a handwritten statement, one woman says she sat near Paddock in a diner just a few days before the shooting, while out with her son. She said she heard him and a companion discussing the 25th anniversary of the Ruby Ridge standoff and the Waco siege. (Each of these incidents became touchstones for a rising anti-government militia movement in the 1990s.)
>She says she heard him and his companion saying that courtroom flags with golden fringes are not real flags. The belief that gold-fringed flags are those of a foreign jurisdiction, or “admiralty flags”, is characteristic of so-called “sovereign citizens”, who believe, among other things, that the current US government, and its laws, are illegitimate.
>“At the time,” her statement says, “I thought, ‘Strange guys’ and wanted to leave.”
>Another man, himself currently in jail, says he met Paddock three weeks before the shooting for an abortive firearms transaction, in the carpark of a Bass Pro Shop. The man was selling schematic diagrams for an auto sear, a device that would convert semi-automatic weapons to full automatic fire. Paddock asked him to make the device for him, and the man refused.
>At this point Paddock launched into a rant about “anti-government stuff … Fema camps”. Paddock said that the evacuation of people by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) after Hurricane Katrina was a a “dry run for law enforcement and military to start kickin’ down doors and ... confiscating guns”. “Somebody has to wake up the American public and get them to arm themselves,” the man says Paddock told him. “Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
