years ago, i was an assistant manager at a store that was opened 24-7, 365 days a year. we all took a four hour shift on christmas, which made it fair to everyone.

Ok then he, and you, are the exceptions. I think. I wonder if we can agree on the fact that knowing the penalty (or lack thereof) of your actions beforehand can play a huge part in whatever decision you would make in a circumstance? Perhaps if Iverson had thought his contract could be violated, he wouldn't have done it. But knowing he'd only get what amounted to less than a slap on the wrist, he figured it was more important to do whatever it was he decided to skip practice for.
