So far, I have heard no one and have seen no quotes, of anyone associated with sports condemn the actions of the Artest, Jackson and O'Neal.
One of the four ESPN guys in the original coverage stated later that night that Artest was justified in attacking the fan!
No one from the SacBee or the Kings criticized the players actions.
Artest attacked the wrong fan.
The guy in the cap threw the beer. He also was the same guy who punched him in the head later.
Actually all of the guy on the ESPN roundtable said the players were justified. They are all former players though and they were just sucking up to NBA players last night. If they spoke out against the indiana thugs they'd have a hard time getting interview with NBA players in the future.
"No one from the SacBee or the Kings criticized the players actions."
Well, I heard one guy, I think he was a Detroit sports reporter, interviewed on ESPN, he was very condemnatory about the entire incident. Sorry I can't tell you who he is.
I heard that too. I thought the ESPN crew had nothing bad to say about the players. They were outraged at the fans only. Maybe they were using a racial lens to see through.
