Raise the Bar!
Referring to Kevin Sites Blog in yesterdays post and also listening to talk radio about the great game of Basketbrawl, I noted many people were trying to lay blame on something or someone as a way to put this issue in the past. What most people were missing is that if the sports industry is to survive they need to raise the bar.

To me this means that the NBA should punish the players that broke the law and remove them from the sport, permanently! They should not lower the bar of acceptable actions for these players. The Fans should demand that the NBA RAISE the bar on what it expects from the players also.

Also, The NBA should also raise the bar on what is acceptable behavior from the fans in the seats. The Teams should aggressively pursue the fans that were involved in this and prosecute them to the full extent of the law. They should also 86 these people in order to provide a safe place for the rest of the fans and the players.

This leads me to the Marine in the news. The Marine Corps will appoint someone that is familiar (been there, done that) with the situation and hold the Marine to a high standard that has always been demanded of Marines. It is not justified for any of us currently in the states to make a judgment based on what we see and hear in the news or on the internet.
These are extraordinary men in a hard place to live and with a purpose of closing with and destroying the enemy. They are there to do a job and that is not a easy job. There job does not allow them to second guess there actions. Actions are always beter than second guessing.

"Well he’s dead now," says another Marine in the background.
