Arenas Suspended Indefinitely
In a step toward a possible rest of the season suspension, David Stern suspended Gilbert Arenas indefinitely today. Honestly the Wizards guard was asking for this as he has been unable to keep his mouth shut over the last week. His comments, taking the situation very lightly and with humor, seemed to be almost mocking the integrity of the NBA.
NBA commissioner David stern said in a statement today, ”Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game, accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA.”
In other words, Gilbert, if you would have been quiet you probably could have played another few games at over $200,000 dollars per game. I’m guessing the suspension was coming anyways, but had he been able to eek out five more games, he would have earned another cool million dollars.
What an idiot.
