Yeah, I was confused that the NBA was focusing on a book and not on... itself. Gher Send a noteboard - 18/10/2011 06:24:41 PM
Also, am I the only one who read the post title, went "huh, didn't know the American basketball association tried to censor books now, must be a book about homosexuality in the NBA", and was then disappointed that it wasn't? :P


I thought maybe the book trashed some legendary people in the league or something.

The latest scandal in the world of publishing: NBA asks Lauren Myracle to withdraw her book. Rebekah - 17/10/2011 07:24:12 PM 1285 Views
That does sound like quite an extraordinary screw-up. Camilla - 17/10/2011 07:33:56 PM 906 Views
The book obviously wouldn't have been on the list. Cut it, don't apologize, tell people to fuck off Tom - 17/10/2011 08:11:15 PM 831 Views
The quote from the blogger's father is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 17/10/2011 10:26:52 PM 1088 Views
In fact I'm now far more tempted to read her books than Lauren Myracle's... Legolas - 17/10/2011 11:02:50 PM 990 Views
the quote is from the book Cheaper by the Dozen The Wandering Gambler - 18/10/2011 03:44:32 AM 907 Views
Wow, that's a great quote. I'm afraid I'm going to have to steal it now. *NM* Praziquantel - 18/10/2011 07:40:34 AM 418 Views

the first fuck up was the mix up, the second was not to immediately apologise to the the author, but Foxhead - 18/10/2011 01:27:52 PM 1042 Views
I'm with Tom on this. Stephen - 18/10/2011 01:47:49 PM 836 Views
That's a big FU, but she didn't do the right thing either... DomA - 18/10/2011 02:23:38 PM 816 Views
That makes no sense. Why should she withdraw her book? Legolas - 18/10/2011 07:03:23 PM 969 Views
Side question- Are these awards publicly voted for, or is it some commmitee who makes the choice? Stephen - 18/10/2011 02:30:49 PM 809 Views
It's a juried award Larry - 19/10/2011 04:07:07 AM 859 Views
Like Legolas, I was thinking of the less well known NBA. Joel - 18/10/2011 04:08:18 PM 1117 Views
I think her reply should go something like this. MightyYT - 18/10/2011 08:03:23 PM 980 Views
