There's no Patriot Act

in the NBA.

NBA Commissioner David Stern said Monday that Kobe Bryant should continue to play for the Lakers this season, even as Bryant faces a potential trial for a sexual assault charge in Colorado.

"Absolutely," Stern said. "We don't have a Patriot Act in the NBA. That means that you're innocent until proven guilty. If every time someone was accused and there were allegations, they were required to stop their life, that wouldn't be a good thing. That could be their choice, but they shouldn't be forced to [stop]."

Well at least the commissioner is thinking clearly. There is no way he wants to have one of the NBA's biggest stars not playing.

immigrants don't have alot of rights. they are "non-citizens" and are to be treated as aliens.

I think Kobe should be locked up for good. But then again, that's just cuz my favorite team, the Blazers, hate him
