Is it Political?

Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs was given a technical foul and was ejected from the game for laughing, while he was sitting on the bench. Referee Joey Crawford is the one who made the call, and he will be the one who will have to asnwer for it. The reason I bring this up is because the Spurs were playing the top ranked team the Dallas Mavericks, at at the point in the game when Duncan was given the T, the Spurs were in the lead. Some how the Mavs pulled it off. I guess i could see if there was trash talking going on, but even then, at what point to you limit people? First Imus, now Duncan. I know there is a huge difference, but whatever happen to Free Speech? I will be looking forward to seeing what will happen in the future, and what will happen in the playoffs.
