The above video is a clip of AMC’s newest show Hell on Wheels. It takes place post Civil War when the country was still developing its western roots and recovering from the carnage that had recently took place. The key to the video is the white “Bossman” referring to the black “Freedman” saying, “That man needs to be put in his place.” Last night, on December 8, 2011, 150 years after this show takes place, David Stern (AKA NBA Bossman), basically said in reference to Chris Paul, “That man needs to be put in his place.” Before you huff and puff, and dismiss this correlation as BFox being angry that arguably the best pure point guard in a generation was prevented from being traded to his beloved Los Angeles Lakers, just know I was not completely sold on this trade. That is the least important part of this situation; basketball is second; morality and what is right and wrong take precedence over my favorite sport/team. Last night the league and David Stern set an extremely dangerous precedent (yes I used precedence and precedent in back-to-back sentences, grab a dictionary if you can’t keep up).
