" these tired and misinformed stereotypes"

First you acknowledge the points that CI makes and dismiss them by saying "every sport does it".  Then you say he's misinformed.

Thanks for your insights.

I was addressing (or at least trying to address) the idea that the NBA is somehow unique or worse in that respect. 

No offense taken and sorry if I ruffled any feathers.  Let's keep it civil and I will sign off from this thread.
