I just read an article about a reporter from the Boston globe being punished for saying Kid's wife shoud be hit for trying to make herself and her kid the center of attention all the time. Although I agree he should be punished to some extent for saying that Kid's wife should be hit , I find it somewhat unsettling that he gets off worse than the person who actually hit his wife.
He received one months leave without pay which is going to hurt him alot more than the punishment that Kidd received from the Suns. The Nets also felt that the reporter should be fired and should not be allowed to report for any newspapers any more, basically saying he should have his career ruined. The Net's organization said they were outraged.
It's funny to me that the Nets didn't think Kidd hitting his wife was that bad and traded for him right after he did it but think this reporter is way below their moral standards. I guess according to the Nets, Kidd hitting his wife isn't nearly as bad as someone saying his wife should be hit?!?!
