Netizens were shocked that the PBA only handed NorthPort Batang Pier guard John Amores a conference-long ban for his involvement in a shooting incident in Lumban, Laguna, last month.
Commenting on a story posted on Fastbreak’s Facebook page, many argued that Amores deserved at least an indefinite ban, similar to the punishment given to Magnolia Hotshots forward Calvin Abueva in the past.
In 2019, Abueva, then with the Phoenix Fuel Masters, was given an indefinite ban by PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial after a clothesline hit on TNT Tropang Giga import Terrence Jones.
Abueva’s ban was lifted after 16 months.
In contrast, Amores was captured on CCTV shooting another individual, later identified as Lee Cacalda, following a heated verbal exchange after a basketball game in Barangay Salac, Lumban, Laguna, in late September.
Despite the seriousness of the incident, Amores received only a conference-long suspension, prompting comparisons to Abueva’s case.
Here are some comments from netizens:
