Once he brushed himself off and readjusted the Blackberry on his waistband, Wade suspended Chacon...

If the manager was unable to get a player to come to a meeting, Gillick would simply fire the manager. And he'd be right.

Why is it that these opinion articles seem to look more favorably on Chacon...it's never about Chacon physically assaulting another person and shame on him for that; it's about Wade and what he did wrong.

Never about whether teams should take another chance on this guy and hope he behaves or to stay away so as not to reward such behavior; hope that he gets his head on straight eventually.

It's about Wade; he had it coming, he didn't act like a man befitting his title, he made poor decisions when calling the meeting, he demonstrated yet another example of a long history of such behavior, etc.

Wade used profanity...Chacon used fists....neither are right, but one is definitely worse...probably the one that could land you jail. So let's have some perspective.

Because Wade is the guy in power, that went in there trying to be the tough guy and got his butt kicked.

Both were in the wrong, but Wade is the GM, he should be above that, and the articles are right in that Wade probably lost a lot of players respect.

No problem with releasing Chacon, but Wade should be fired too.
