I understand what you say. For years I would watch the highlights of soccer fans creating riots and eventually killing a player when he mistakenly scored for the other team. I thought that at least we do not act like that. Then the riots by citizens in cities where the team won a championship. Now we got this crap going on. It seems like everyone is losing their mind, over a game.

soccer fans creating riots and eventually killing a player At the risk of sounding extreme, the situation in the Pacers game could've been far worse, if 10 thousand fans had decided that Artest needed a lesson for the flagrant foul. After that short shoving match, if 10K fans stormed the floor, can you imagine the mayhem? Now is the time for the line in the sand to be drawn. If it is a half-measure, I believe YOU WILL SEE fans revolt.

It has got to stop right now. We've let it go on too long. As an American, I am SICK of watching bad-boys excused for ANY REASON. I don't care about their reason. If they are too stupid to understand the rules, they they are too stupid to be paid big money and embarass us all. It's disgusting, and it's wrong.

If they want to be gang members, fine.. go on... take your chances outside the arena on a level playing field, where there may not be security to save your sorry butt. If they want to take that attitude and work at K-Mart, see how long you last. People are sick of the coddling.. And tired the ever increasing ticket costs to pay for that BS. JMHO>>
