For everyone who thinks the new technical foul rule is designed more to cover up the gross ineptitudes of NBA refereeing. For those who unlike David Stern, have played competitive basketball, and understand that a certain amount of emotion (especially in response to horrible officiating) is a natural and big part of the game, this petition is for you. If you want to see the new technical rules overturned so that the NBA and the referees cannot go on an unjust power trip, and instead go back to the equal-footing dialogue that NBA players deserve when subjected to an admittedly imperfect practice, please sign this petition and I promise I will do everything I can to get this unfortunate situation rectified. Sincerely, Jeremy A. Cypen
