Inebriated Rich Obese Suburbanites hit the Palace of Auburn Hills or Joe Louis Arena, they've never picked up a basketball in their life and their out their heckling, jeering "Thugball" and sometimes, when it comes to tossing beer at players they go to far and the players are forced to defend themselves.
I get a kick out of you people saying, "players need to defend themselves"
FROM WHAT-- you have been suckeredd by the loosers at ESPN..
Artest is like 250 pounds of solid muscle.. even if a diet Coke was thrown at him -- is he in danger? Is he being threatened? Hell no..
Yes, the fans were WAY out of line- but in no way were the players fearing for their lives or SAFTY in any manner... Give me a break!!!
Don;t buy the "self-defense" argument. It makes NO SENSE!
