I go to Jazz games and I hear what is said to the players. I can only imagine what it would be like to have that yelled at you every game for three hours. Then, when some dumbass fan throws something at you, I can see why he went into the stands. If the security can't protect you, and they can't, you have to protect yourself. When security is a bunch of retired old men, what can they do. Everyone is going to jump on me for this, but Artest was thinking in the long run. Everyone is going to think twice before hurling a beer at him from now on. I saw that fan go from cheering, to realizing he was about to get his ass kicked. That was sweet. The NBA also needs to hit the organization of Detroit. A few months ago in Italy for a soccer game, a fan threw something and it hit the ref, cutting his head. The game was called and the next three Champions League games are to be played behind closed doors. In other words the only people allowed in the stadium will be the players, refs, and statisticians. That is alot of lost money. The fans at Detroit will think long and hard if they lose games that way. If you want to stop the problem, then you have to hit people where it hurts. Sorry for the lame pun. --- from list marxism-intro-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
