    So what is your solution for the only legitimate source of revenue if your constantly not broadcasting games. We're going to see well over 100 games PPD, you can count on that, even if everyone follows the guidelines. If none of those game broadcast almost every team will miss out on their local TV money and the league will have to do a lot of finagling to get all of the national games necessary. Fine the teams that you can prove aren't enforcing the rules but you don't ruin the league over it.

    Safety over money.

    If they can't do it properly, they shouldn't even have a season.

    MY solution might not be appreciated by all, but I think the TV sponsors should say "if you have 15 roster spots and 2 2-way spots and still can't field a game with 8 players, then you probably don't deserve our $$$."

    You know what... I totally agree. I am such a huge sports fan but I'm absolutely disgusted at the irresponsibility of the sports world right now. The fact is they aren't doing to much to endanger their players but for every outbreak on a team, you have to think they spread it to others in their community and eventually that spread that started with an athlete that didn't have to be playing a contact sport because it's a fucking sport, will result in a death or deaths. Are sports really worth that? The answer is an easy no.

    That being said, the league obviously doesn't give a shit about doing the ethical thing so they're going to make sure every or at least the majority of teams get those 72 games in because for them it's obviously about the money over safety.

    No he's not. He's not better than the 4th or 5th option on the Blazers, let alone the rest of the league. Guy is done.

    Why?

    I thought the Bubble was a bad idea and thought they should have canceled the season in March.

    To get the game canceled/postponed they had to have 8+ players break protocol/test positive. Why is only Harden getting fined?

    Because he's the only one that broke the league's COVID protocol of not going out to clubs.

    Dennis Rodman has literally thrown $200,000 parties (old, vague recollection).
    $50k is actually more insulting than not fining him.

    I googled average salary in USA and google said round about 50k. So the math is:

    Harden salary = 41 million, 50k = X
    50k*100/41.000.000
    X=0.12%

    Average salary = 50k=100%, 0.12% = X
    50k*0.12/100 = 60$

    It would be like a 60$ fine for a average guy like you or me
