NBA CANCELS TRAINING CAMP, REMINDING PUBLIC JUST HOW USELESS IT IS DURING FOOTBALL



David Stern waits out
 questions, knowing
  he has yet to set his
 fantasy football lineup
  for the weekend.

While trying to capture some of the sports spotlight, the NBA announced this week that they have decided to suspend training camp as well as most of the league's preseason games. 
This comes straight out of left field for those who completely forgot that professional basketball was even dealing with a lockout.  Football fans everywhere struggle with the idea of this being newsworthy however, pointing to the lack of interest with the NBA season until weeks after the Super Bowl.
 "It's not even Week 3 of the NFL," annoying Giants fan, Rickie Tugler begins, "what the fuck makes David Stern think I give a shit about missed exhibition games?"
Indeed, most thought it was pointless reporting on the possibility of several superstars playing overseas, but this, they simply describe as a waste of 140-character journalism.  In fact, many would argue that the only reason they know there's basketball on on Christmas day, is because they know there's no football.
So when January rolls around, and TNT realizes how good their Thursday night ratings for Law & Order: SVU re-runs have been, maybe then they'll wonder why they even paid for the rights to 50-some regular season games in the first place.  Let alone, wasted time and space with labor negotiation updates on the network's website.  Just let people know if the 3 month long playoffs will start on time.
