3/24/97

The National Basketball Association suspended flamboyant Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman without pay for at least eleven games and required he undergo counseling following an incident in which Rodman kicked a cameraman in the groin at ringside during a game in Minneapolis. Commenting on the NBA's treatment of Rodman, Jesse Jackson protested: "It's one thing to punish a man. It's another to take away his dignity."
