Absolutely unbelievable...I just read that O'Neal's actions were ruled as "off-court" behavior...even though he was in uniform, the game clock was running, and the whole thing was televised for millions to see. He voluntarily left the court to fight a fan, so he gets off easier because of it! Incredible. Just when you think you've heard it all.
Just another example of an "activist" judge (and an abritrator) ignoring the rules and standards of civilized behavior and imposing their own watered down standards. It's also typical of these overpaid egomaniacs {atheletes (?)} who believe they are entiteled to act in any manner they choose and are not to be held responsible if this behavior produces negative results. If they don't like the rulings handed down by the associations leaders, they run to an activist judge and cry descrimination. Is it any wonder that children today see nothing wrong with rude and crude behavior?
Next the Federal Courts will rule if it is legal to take the money from the center of the board if you land on "Free Parking" while playing the game of Monopoly.
What?! It was ONE fan who threw a cup at Artest. The Detroit fans were under control until Artest ran into the crowd. The author of this article is clueless as to the events of the night.
Well anyone knows he can play. The question is, may he play?
WHY are these lawyer dirtbag "judges" sticking their snotty noses into a game?
They need to be impeached immediately and permanently removed from any and all offices or other govt paid positions.
They have NO RIGHT.
I keep saying, it's not so much the 'greens', it's not so much the Edwards and class-action, it's not so much the ACLU and Norman Lear and the rest. IT'S THE COURTS! These judges should be throwing half these nutcase appeals and suits out, and with stern language as to why.
Absolute horse crap.
