Who knew that dogfighting was illegal in Oregon? Who knew that you could get suspended from your job merely for being investigated for a crime? Who knew that NBA players get paid during the pre-season?
If this would have been any other team besides the JailBlazers, I would be up in arms about a player's premature suspension by a team. When you are the only pro team in town and every member of your team has either a drug arrest or domestic battery charges on their record, a player really has to stay well above criminal suspicion.
Btw, this is in interesting contrast to the Baltimore Ravens who made Jamal Lewis their captain for his last game before serving a league-mandated suspension for pleading guilty to facilitating a drug deal that will require a 4 month prison stay during the off-season. The Baltimore Ravens - sending a strong message to the kids.
