Polimom follows the NFL, not the NBA… but I still found this story interesting:
The players’ association filed two unfair labor practice charges Friday against the NBA over issues with the new ball and the league’s crackdown on player complaints.
A number of players publicly have complained about the change in the ball from leather to microfiber composite. But the crackdown on complaints after the whistle, often referred to as a “zero-tolerance policy,” might be the bigger problem.
Can somebody help me understand why people who earn salaries like these need union representation? This seems pretty ridiculous; I must be missing something…
