Why are we all sitting here talking about "fans in China" and "NBA League office?" Don't we have a much bigger issue on our hands? Doesn't this deserve to go to a Congressional investigator or a U.S. Attorney's office in light of the record fine and talks of lifetime ban without even so much as a pretense of a legitimate reason? At a time when the entire world is pointing fingers at Texas for running the political machines of the U.S., I find it hard to believe that there is not a single well-connected, deep-pocket die hard Rockets fan who is outraged by this travesty and is ready to pull some strings to set things straight. Stop writing to the League Office and start writing your representatives and the US Att'y's office.
