Quote:If Westbrook/Durant kicked a Warriors player in the groin like Green did in that same situation would they have been suspended?


No of course not.When you hit certain heights or popularity as a player you get calls that other people don't.Happens in most sports leagues in one form or another.


Big teams/players/coach's get away with more than the smaller teams/players/coach's ,its just the way it is,has been like that for years and years. Doesn't mean its rigged.

 

So instead of saying it's rigged I suppose the correct term would be favoritism? 

 

If that's the case. It's still a poor way to handle sports at any level. I sadly agree with you. It's been like that for decades for certain across all sports really. Sure, it doesn't mean it's rigged. But, that doesn't make it right either. 

 

All players should be called and judged fairly in their respective fields of play. Superstars shouldn't be handed a free pass just because they're driving up more revenue than other players or franchises'. That's honestly a disservice to the sport itself, but, most of all, a disservice to the paying fan base and customers that are the life blood and backbone for all sports and franchises to exist in the first place.
