Hey Guys,

Long time reader, but this actually was too much to not comment on. Im not one for Media, but the media and ratings are driving the NBA to crap...I sent this letter to the League office, i think like 5 different divisions..

This recent Rondo Non Suspension and Howard suspension is utter blashemy on how the NBA favors Celtics and/or Star Guards in the league..The sheer fact is the NBA is a joke and doesnt compare to the NFL. Quite simply, Stern and Jackson simply want ratings, and it is most evident in these two instances. Rajon Rondo prevented a inevitable chicago win with a hit one that, quite frankly, teddy bruski would have been penalized for in the NFL. Yet, surely, at the very least, a technical foul, allowing ben gordon a free throw, as well as Brad Miller the opportunity to regain his senses and shoot his free throws to earn the win.  But no..Even after the fact, No flagrant, no nothing, not even a slap on the wrist flagarant one! But Dwight Howard, who is one of the most easy going players in the NBA, manages to get suspended from a pivotal game 6. How about the rake to the eyes, or the fould in the neck area that Theo Ratliff has issued through the series.  The playoffs is not about where amazing happens, its about where Ratings Happen. Maybe Howard does deserve a suspension for his retaliation, but this is no league for Big Men anymore, the media and the league has pampered the likes of Lebron and Wade, so that if you as much as breathe in their direction, it is a foul. Let alone a big man that gets fouled clearly on nearly every play. Mr. Stern has disgraced a good product that Magic, Bird, and Jordan built. Avid NBA fans like myself cherish the days of the Bad Boys, and the grueling series that the Knicks/Heat/Bulls/Pacers used to play. the league is a laughing stock, and i thought someone should bring it to your attention. I havent even yet to talk about Donaghy, but the league needs altering, and it all starts at the top. Resign Mr. Stern, youre league is getting soft..

Yours Truly,

A Disgruntled Sports Fan
