The National Basketball Association took a page out of the No Fun League's book (the NFL) and banned all players from chewing straws during NBA games. The figurehead of the straw chewing movement is none other than new Dallas Maverick Caron Butler, who unnoticed by David Stern chewed straws in Washington, D.C. for three years without sanction.
Maybe it's just me, but this seems to be pretty silly. Having watched a fair amount of NBA games, I've never really noticed all that many players chewing straws during a game. It's not an epidemic Mr. Stern. Maybe the NBA should just go ahead and ban EVERYTHING from the sidelines like gum, skittles, starburst, lollipops, or nail-biting.
Come on David, let Caron chew his straws in peace.
