I expect the guy in the Wallace jersey and ball cap to get nailed, as well as the credentials guy.
Agree. The fans that instigated it should be charged as well as the players involved.
it sure is getting a lot of coverage.
how about the guy who threw a metal chair? That's a serious weapon
This story begs the question... Was the fan who threw the cup one of the fans attacked by Indiana's players? Or did the players just go after anyone who stood in their way? The videotape makes it look like the players just punched and shoved anybody who was in their path.
If all athletes were to react the same way the Indiana Pacer primates did when a fan misbehaves, we'd have to stock all the arenas with body bags before each event. If a fan is unruly, you call over the refs and call in security. If you're a player or coach, you threaten to take your entire team off the court until order is restored. And you start asking officials for a forfeit by the home team. Going into the stands like a pack of wild animals because someone threw a cup is the kind of behavior that just gives Bill Cosby more speaking material the next time he wants to lecture the black community on how it is harming itself.
