I just wanted to make the point that comparing this to medical malpractice isn't going to validate your point. Yes, we're professionals, and this guys gets to do it full time. But it's not surgery, it's a game.

As fans, we should remember that, and not think someone should be put in the stocks when he makes a mistake on the court.

You are doing exactly what I wrote above, being an apologist and trivializing the importance of the job. "It's a game."

The amount of money paid to those in this profession says otherwise.
If they are going to be paid like doctors and lawyers, it's about time that they be held to similar standards.
