I just don't like it when athletes compare themselves to the good men and women that serve in the military. The guy is making $21 million for doing nothing this season and he's comparing himself to a soldier that was shot in the back of the head by a member of his own squad?!? Does he really think it's appropriate to compare Quentin Richardson to a murdering soldier? I don’t think he was trying to demean soldiers, either.

However, I don't think athletes are trying to insult men and women who are in the armed forces when they use military analogies. I think they feel when they are on a playing field they are in an athletic battle. Of course it does not compare to actual warfare, but I don't think they are trying to demean what our armed forces are engaged in. I think the Knicks should let Marbury go and be done with him. Then we don't have to listen to the nonsense that is going on in the big apple. I enjoyed your post. I’m not going to try in argue against the point you make.
