ESPN - One of the first things many people noticed about Caron Butler after his arrival to the Dallas Mavericks is that the guard likes to chew straws during games. The NBA obviously took notice as well.
NBA executive vice president Stu Jackson phoned Butler on Tuesday and told him to leave his straws at home. Butler did not play against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a reaction to medication, so he was unavailable for comment.
But the Mavs confirmed that the league is serious about outlawing straw chewing.
"It's against the rules," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said.
Well it looks like the NBA just banned Caron Butler for a horrible disgusting act. No he wasnt hiding a bunch of gingers in his basement or running over a grandma in his Bentley or attempting to assasinate Pau Gasol, he was chewing on straws. Maybe they are laced with steroids, or a more legitimate assumption is that David Stern and the NBA dont want to incourage straw chewing on Americas youth. I mean next thing you know, McDonalds (Caron's favorite straws) will start charging extra for a straw like they do dipping sauces (thats why I have it my way at BK) or there could be a choking epidemic on all the youngsters that try to imitate him. Lets be real here, the NBA isnt as bad as the NFL, I mean you cant even put the two on an even playing field but ordering someone to stop chewing on a straw of all thing is fucking ludacris. I mean apparently its against the rules but I wanna see where in the book it says no straw chewing.
