I lost interest in the NBA years ago, so the big brawl that happened between the Denver Nuggets and the New York Nicks didn't really concern me. Millionaires fighting. I really didn't give a damn.But after hearing that Northwest Airlines was removing its in-flight magazines because this month's issue featured a profile of Carmelo Anthony, I just laughed.
Northwest claims they didn't want to be associated with an athlete that was violent.
First of all, no athlete is squeaky clean. Hell, if Northwest had that policy they would NEVER have ANY athlete in their magazines.
Secondly, what does the Denver-New York fight have to do with Northwest? Not a damn thing. So they should stay out of it.
Third, have you flown Northwest lately? Worst airline in the country hands down. It's the only airline that charges for food, the only airline that, after passengers check their luggage, sometimes - instead of, oh, I don't know, PUTTING THEIR LUGGAGE ON THE PLANE - will just say fuck it and pile luggage behind the counter (True story. Happened in Detroit last winter). Northwest is the same airline that sent a list to employees who were about to be laid off advising them on how to cut costs. One of the suggestions: Use old newspapers for cat liter.

LOL - use old newspaper for cat litter? That's almost as bad as a company laying people off and telling them they can find fresh toss-outs in the dumpsters behind fast food joints.
Yeah, I think pulling the mag makes Northwest hypocritical. Now they have set such a high "moral" bar that they're gonna be able to profile very few pro ball players.
