Load management they call it. It's the term for players getting paid to not do their job. That's right. Millions of dollars to sit on the bench and just take a break. Rest. What a crock of crap that is. Fans come to see healthy players do what they're supposed to do and that is play hard and win.

And how about once in a lifetime fans who can't afford multiple tickets bringing their kids to see that favorite player play and that's the night he decides, or he and the medical team decide it's a good night for a break.
