Yeah, that's what I'm saying and I guess I didn't really think of it as hiding your head in the sand. I think of "hiding your head in the sand" as ignoring a problem or pretending it doesn't exist. He's not doing that. He's got a problem and he knows it. But firing a third of your staff is probably not the best way to solve that problem, is it? It's probably better to show that you're serious -- by fining everybody or suspending the worst offenders -- and then let everyone know that the consequences will be worse if it happens again. JMO.

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.

You mean it isn't already a
PR nightmare for the league? Come on.
