Thanks onesavvydiva.. Now, I can respond intelligently
.. Actually, if Allen did make his album and it is supposedly gay bashing or so called gangster rap, I still feel he has his freedom of Speech rights. He still has his First Amendment protection. And so what if it came out during basketball season, can he not do two things at once? That's ridiculous. Why should he be suspended. That has nothing to do with the NBA. People are always making albums and are always saying things that may offend one. But hey, if it offends you, don't listen. We have the right to free speech and we have the right not to listen. I think if Iverson is suspended from the NBA because of his album then he is being deprived of his Constitutional Right. I mean, the KKK still has freedom of speech. So, if they can get it, then most definitely Allen should be allowed his rights as well. I may not agree with some of the things that are said in rap or any other forum for that matter, but I also have the choice to not listen. Moreover, if we are to condemn Allen and regulate his personal choice of free speech, then everyone else must be regulated as well. And that is specifically what the First Amendment protects.....
