What's odd is that there are fights at almost EVERY football game with a high attendance at the college and pro level. They get broken up, but they usually begin with words and thrown objects and liquid.

Why do we hold these men to a higher standard than we'd hold ourselves if someone threw beer at us at a football game? Or threw a flipping chair?!?

What about the Antoine Walker case, where a fan threw something at him and put his HANDS on him?

It's one way with some people on this board, and I think I know why.

Yep. I know that sports have the rule that players can't go into the stands to attack fans. But there's something very wrong when fans can throw stuff at players, the players go to defend themselves, and the fans will most likely end up being millionaires, thanks to their own rotten behavior.

Check out my post above.. and watch the video. People got hurt by Artest that were not doing anything but covering the game. He mowed 'em over.
