National Basketball Association (NBA) Commissioner Adam Silver now has been given the power to fine any basketball teams that rest multiple players on basketball games that are televised on either ESPN, ABC Sports and the TNT Network.
The reason that coaches bench a lot of their star players during national basketball games is that national television networks is that they claim that they want to win championships with a healthy roster of players instead of having their star players suffer an injury during a regular season game.
According to Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports 1, the reason that the players sit out regular season games that are on national television is that the players are making a lot of money from the current contract with the sports networks and they feel they have a license to sock it to the television networks by sitting out the national televised games.
Who pays for this injustice? We the sports fans who pay a pretty penny to get the short end of the stick.

With this power to make star player play, I'm in so much favor of this move.

Fans pay their salaries so the player has to play in a game whether he likes it or not.

Perhaps they should allow the Commissioner of the NBA to do his job. There will be a lot of complaints no matter how any leader is doing their job. Fines are apart of the leagues rules and must be administered when there is good cause to do so.

We wouldn't want to offend TV networks but screw the fans paying to see an absent LeBron in a non-network televised game.
