So Scrappy are you saying that if maybe 1, or 2 or even 3 officials had violated the gambling clause then Stern could easily fire them? But he won't fire 20 because it's just not practical?
And that's an example of NOT hiding your head in the sand? Puh-leeze.
btw, IMO Stern can't fire 20 officials for violating the gambling clauses in their contract because it would be a
PR nightmare for the league. Period.
