David Stern, you have got to be kidding me. The NBA has just announced that it will allow gambling among NBA referees.
This explains a lot. It shows that the NBA will now leave some room for interpretation when it comes to breaking the law. It explains that referees making $300,000+ a year are inspired by a $5 bet during a round of golf, and it explains why Tim Donaghy was sucking fellow referee Joey Crawford's dick after the friendly annual poker tournament.
"Everyone violated the rule in some way, whether it was playing poker, buying lottery tickets & but I don't consider it a violation of the rules to buy a lottery ticket or play golf for $5," Stern said.
"About half had gone to casinos over a period of years with no great frequency. No sports books. No bookmakers," Stern said, adding that enforcement of the gambling rule was so lax that referees traditionally held a large poker tournament at their annual meeting.
