pookie23 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Serge is 100% correct...as a fan you have the right to say anything you want...but when you cross that line by throwing beer, cups and bottles, you forfiet that right (which means KNUCKLE UP).I was fuckin jumping up and down like a lil girl when I saw it and it's about time asshole fans get what they deserve. I sure as hell would've done the same thing, because you can only be provoked so far to the point where you gotta make a stand and beat some ass. here's to the Pacers!

If the fan didn't throw that beer at Artest, we wouldn't even be talking about this cause this WOULDN'T have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkornre Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 how bout the fact that innocent ppl are getting hit...if i pay to go to a game and there is a fight between the players and fans and i get hurt then the league will be in deep shit...how bout the kids that see this shit going on...they came to see their heros play and instead of seeing a game they get beer dumped on them, not to mention the fact that the kids no have to watch out they dont get trampled on by these big players...come on now...no matter how much someone deserves to get hit u have to make sure u dont hurt the wrong ppl who just came to see a game...the ppl who throw stuff usually get caught...as long as mahem doesnt break out the bad ppl will get in trouble for doing the wrong thing...

If it was an innocent fan getting hit...he should blame it on the drunk fuck that threw stuff on the court. The fans ESCALTED the situation, they deserve the outcome. Hopefully this will teach them to shut their mouths and enjoy the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will teach them to shut their mouths and enjoy the game.the fans did incite the riot...no doubt...but once that got rolling u cant just stand there and say "he did it"...there was too much going on...if the players would have just stayed on the court and the police went to investigate there would have been no problem...the fans would have gotten arrested and the players would have been considered "stand up" ppl for letting it slide...but there not...they had to prove a point...and now i hope there is alot of suspension/fines/arrests...

You're giving the fans a pass and that's not right.Bottom line - they should ban alcohol at games, since fans don't know how to act right.

JonStephen Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 for the record....on a personal level I would go after someone throwing beer at me or whatever, but then again I am not a professional athlete earning millions of dollars to perform for their team and entertain fans be them old, middle aged, or children looking up to adultswhat artest did should be dealt with brute force because what he did for the person in the position he was in was completely inexcusable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN talked to other NBA players like Shaq, Odom, etc...They ALL would've done the same thing.Stop sticking up for the fans...because they did the wrong thing this time.

pookie23 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 you kidding? they'd never do that.. that's money for them...The NBA can compensate the team for the loss...it can be done. Obviously fans can't act properly and being drunk incites it even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funks0ul Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 i just don't see them doing that... i think they'll try to put in more security.. but i don't see them moving the fans further away from the court or getting rid of liquor...but I gotta agree with serg on this stuff...
