Sacramento Kings need to fire their marketing director

For showing a video ahead of the Pistons' game (Sacremento home opener) showing pictures of burned out cars and deserted neighborhoods. This is akin to the Stanford band mocking the Irish potato famine during a Notre Dame football game, and it's just insane. As the article states, what do they have planned for the New Orleans game?

1. That is WAY out of line.

Didn't Dallas make fun of Doug Christie (of the Kings) last year and get fined? Sacramento needs to get fined, too.

2. I know, can you believe it?

The devastation of cities like Detroit is just plain not funny. It's a scar on the whole country.

I want to write them, but I can't really find the words.

4. I don't care if Sacramento is the Garden of Eden

It's just mean.

Worse, when C-Webb played for them, Detroit was full of people rooting for them.
