The San Antonio Spurs are being sued by a lawyer who is alleging the team violated the state's deceptive and fair trade practices law.

On Monday, Larry McGuinness filed a class-action suit in Miami-Dade County, stating Spurs coach Gregg Popovich "intentionally and surreptitiously" sent their best players home without the knowledge of the league, the team and the fans attending the Nov. 29 game against the Miami Heat. McGuinness contends that he, as well as other fans, "suffered economic damages" as a result of paying a premium price for a ticket that shouldn't cost more.

Before the game, Popovich sent Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green back to San Antonio, saying that he believed that resting his top players for their fourth game in five days was a smart decision.


This is just ridiculous on so many levels. I'm speechless.

What a joke. I hope for the sake of rationality this gets thrown out. Just how frivolous can these lawsuits get?

I'd like to start by saying I don't wish to offend anyone here but a popular American stereotype here in australia is that they are a bunch of morons who will sue anyone for anything.

I personally know this to not be the case but this guy sure is giving the stereotype a run for it's money.
And this guy apparently is a lawyer...

Then apparently, it's not only in Australia. That's what we all thought too in Indonesia.

America is full of stupid people. This is nothing new. Iron Sheik was singing that song 30 years ago.

Tickets are inflated depending on the team you play. When Spurs come to town, its always in the top tier of cost, compared to the bottom when Phoenix comes.

Still, did they pay to see Spurs or did they pay to watch the Heat?? What kind of heat fan cares?
