Bulls Playing Head Games

So much is being made of the Bulls' benching of star center Ben Wallace after he broke team rules by wearing a red head band during Saturday night's game against the New York Knicks.

I'm not sure what the problem is. This seems like a silly, trivial matter to me. If the Bulls were winning, this wouldn't even be given any media attention. Wallace has been wearing a head band for years. It doesn't offend anyone and it doesn't interfere with the team's play on the court. Besides, Bulls' fans have seen far worse from Dennis Rodman's wardrobe.

If Wallace feels the head band gives him an edge on the court, if it helps him block more shots or get more rebounds or score more points for the team, let him wear it. Let's not sweat the small stuff here. Let's focus on the more important things, like winning basketball games.
