he was prolly just trying to up his street cred as a thug and to help promo his new crap cd...Hello?
That didn't happen.
Sounds more like he is saying it's just as much the fans as it is the players involved.
The guy that threw the cup is now on tv saying it wasn't him.
If anyone should be sued, it's The Palace.
He's ignoring the problem(s). 1) Pampered athletes who want everything but not willing to give back. Plus they feel they can act as they wish, when they wish, whether it is acceptable behavior or not because they believe they are above the law because of their stature as an athlete and the money they make as a result. 2) Ignorant fans who put the atic back in fan and believe that they have the right to act like morons and that they are part of the show because they paid money for a ticket. 3) The league because they allow these athletes to showboat which in the mentality of today's athletes may be a 'diss' to their manhood if it is done by an opponent.
If the fans that respect the fact that they are their to enjoy the games and are not part of the entertainment quit going, it might at some point force everyone involved to make the changes that are necessary to put the competition back in the games and take the thugism out of them. The ones I feel sorry for are the innocent fans who got caught in the middle of the brawl that were there strictly to enjoy the game. They didn't pay to get slugged but to watch the very best in the game play and compete against each other.
This is crap. The Detroit Pistons are as clean a team as there is in the NBA. Artest mugged Wallace, and Wallace responded. Artest has a rep and he is going to get it when he mugs somebody. Detroit always plays him tough defensively, and he responds by trying to hurt Ben Wallace. Don't paint Wallace with the same brush as Artest, he is not a thug and has drawn few suspensions before this one. The fact that he got only 6 games while Artest got suspended for the rest of the season suggests that David Stern agrees. The Detroit fans may be crapheads, but the team isn't.
