Blog #8- NBA Lets Fans Vote for MVP

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Your-vote-actually-counts-so-who-ya-got-for-MVP?urn=nba,231390

Summary:
In basketball there is sometimes some controversy about who should have actually been the MVP of the NBA. The NBA will let their fans vote for MVP for the first time in major pro sports history. There is a catch, the votes by the fans are only counted as one of the 125 votes that determine the league's MVP. The executive vice president of the NBA said that they were willing to let the fans vote for the first time because he feels like they deserve some power and it is a way to reward them for being fans of the NBA. Fans that really think that one player deserves the MVP will probably vote with alacrity(pg.69), the fans will be blissful(pg.46) knowing that their vote and what they think actually counts.

Detail:
-The NBA will let fans vote for MVP
-All of the fans votes will only be one out of the 125 votes that determine the MVP
-If a person votes just one time, that vote might be nugatory(pg.96), there will be millions of people that will vote more than once
