if anyone has last night's game on DVR/tivo, go to about the 12:20/12:21 mark and watch the fans, you'll see a suns fan giving the nazi salute and screaming seig heil ... it's honestly one of the most bizarre things i've ever seen
i'm actually thinking about writing a law review article on traditional theories of punishment and their application in professional sports leagues, but beyond that i think that the NBA simply had to suspend amare and boris
that's just the way they enforce their rules (and especially this rule) ... if they weren't suspended there would be just as much of an uproar that they're favoring the suns ... if the NBA wants to completely overhaul either the rule or their enforcement policy, then fine, but the way they operate they can't just make an ad hoc change
