Zermatt fans around the globe, including hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, have plenty to smile about after hearing the new WFBL rule.ZERMATT (AP)—After seeing Chris Paul lead the Abominables to their second-straight WFBL title, one could only wonder what would happen to the Champs with Paul no longer in A-Bom red and black.
Well, wonder no more.
In a stunning turn of events, WFBL Commissioner/Abominables coach Ben Barnes announced Wednesday that the league's Keeper Rules, put in to effect in the 2008 season, would be changed. Instead of keeping a player for one season and then releasing him to the draft the following year, Barnes issued that, effective immediately, a team may hold on to their keeper forever.
"This actually comes as pretty good timing," said Barnes, in a move that will undoubtedly raise cries of conspiracy once again. "I was thinking about how in the world would I be able to take the A-Boms to another title without CP3. So I just decided, hey, who says I have to let him go? I'm the Commish!"
"This is great news," said Paul, this season's EBP and, until today's announcement, next season's favorite to be the number one pick in the draft. "I mean, I was really worried about having to go somewhere else. Can you imagine if someone like Salt Lake or Bayside got the number one pick next year? Man, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that!"
The change also makes it probable that players such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Dirk Nowitzki will remain with Maracaibo, Twin Falls, and Salt Lake, for the duration of their careers—or for as long as their owners can put up with them.
In other news, it was announced that the first day of April is April Fool's Day.
