If there ever was a monopoly in professional sports, the Golden Sate Warriors are it.

Last year, the Warriors were a supper team, but I don't think anybody had anything against them. Most people who weren't Warriors fans probably didn't enjoy Stephen Curry's cocky acts or the over-hype surrounding the team, but at the end of the day, they were just a super good team.

But this summer, when they acquired Kevin Durant in free-agency, it shook-up the sporting world.

Durant, coming off a career-year with the Oklahoma City Thunder, came to the Warriors, where he undoubtedly hurt his reputation -- before he even played a game for them.

For me, that was the final straw with the Warriors. Personally, I believe the NBA is the shadiest of all three major sports. Could the league be rigged? Possibly. Is the league unfair for small-market teams? Absolutely. And the Warriors are the perfect example.

Take a team Portland Trail Blazers. They're a very solid team that's a perennial playoff contender. Adding a high-profile player like Durant to go along with their Damian Lillard could get them to the next level. But do you think Durant ever considered a team like the Blazers? Probably not. Why? They play in one of the league's smallest markets -- Portland, OR.

And where do the Warriors play again? The Bay Area, California -- one of the league's biggest markets in one of the biggest state markets in the country.

Do you really think the NBA didn't have a say in that?

The NBA wants the Warriors to do well because of their market. The same goes for the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls.

Since the Warriors won 73 games in the 2015-16 season (albeit blowing a three game lead in the Finals), the NBA obviously saw an opportunity for a money-making dynasty.

Don't think the Warriors won't get extra attention, bias and treatment for at lest the next seven years.

The fact that the Warriors -- coming off one of the greatest seasons in sports history -- can spend an astronomical amount of money to become even better defines a monopoly to me.

Think about it, any single free-agent in the NBA will want to come to the Warriors now -- and the Warriors can easily out-strengthen any franchise on the free-agent market. They will surely get first-dibs on any free-agent, even if the public doesn't know about it.

By watching them, fans are only fueling this monopoly even more.

For that reason, I'm not watching any Warriors game in 2016-17.
