I thought i’d chime in on this…
This was stupid on both parties, fans & players.
my only problems are this…
why did artest get suspended the rest of the season, when jermaine o’neal only got what 25 games? in the video i saw they were both beating ass.
…its cause artest is the current NBA’s problem child like rodman was back in the day.
& o’neal is the pacers franchise player, & a marquee player for the NBA.
and you guys can talk down all you want about artest…but he is one of the best players in the league…just his attitude keeps his game from being noticed cause everyone is focused on the stupid shit he does…rap album, fighting, arguing with refs, etc…
he’s one of the top 3 defenders in the league (arguably #1) and has a solid all around game.
i not saying i agree with what he does…i just regonize his talent…too bad he lets other things ruin it.
Sorry… I hope the suspension sticks too…
I think they should of came down harder on everyone else as well, at least the two others that were directly involved. The fans on the court should get charged and arrested as well. It’s getting out of hand, and I bet from now on every league will take notice and start swinging heavy handed punishments the way it should be.
Playing in the NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB is a privilege and it should be treated that way. Players/Fans should have respect for each other, I mean don’t get me wrong a little haggling is in the game, but when it gets out of hand it should be dealth with quick heavy suspension/fines.
They made basketball look like a joke! Their professional athletes for god sakes. They should be seeting good examples for kid and who ever. No instead they fight like litttle biotches and set a example that As far as in concerned “tasteless.”
And why are we paying these guys multi-million dollars contracts for again? :rant: :bash:
Basketball is :greddy: anyway
I’ll second that basketball :bj: my nuts
cause you guys got no skill…
now hockey is
:greddy:
and as far as i’m concerned football is not far behind
football has just gotten boring to me…all the time between the plays just gets on my nerves…i like games were there is always somthing going on.
yeah lets put all the blame on the players…the good example for your kid is the retard in the stands throwing shit on the court/field
blame goes on both…but in my opinion it should have never had gotten that far.
its that way with all sports…if the money is there they will get it…
if someone was gonna pay you millions to do whatever it is you do…you wouldn’t turn it down.
blame goes on no one but the players. fans pay good money so they can heckle the opposing team. the beer throwing was out of line, but that was one guy. And whoever threw it obviously wins out, because now Artest is gone for the season. Theres absolutely NO justification for leaving the court and going up into the crowd and throwing random haymakers. IMHO, they got off easy. Only 25 and 30 games for the other two retards that were up in the stands. They all should have got booted for the rest of the season, as well as have criminal charges filed against them.
:rolleyes:
he got the year BECAUSE he instigated the whole thing, and because its happened before. But you’re right. I think they all should have got equal punishments. They all should have been kicked out for the rest of the year, if not forever. The guy is a piece of shit, and the NBA is better off without him. Which isnt saying much, because the NBA is the gayer than ITR41 with three cocks in his mouth.
I heart Artest.
Do you really think punching someone who tossed a beer at you is out of line?
Go to a bar and toss a beer in the bartender’s face.
See what he does.
horrible analogy. just horrible.
there’s something to be said for personal responsibility.
if you toss a beer on a guy who’s a known behavioural problem, you deserve to get hit.
it’s not the player’s fault for getting pissed; his job is to play basketball, not put up with projectiles from the stands.
if someone tossed a beer at me, AT THE VERY LEAST i’d punch him in the face. whether that opens a can of worms or not, that should be the expected outcome.
Hitting > bumping a guy and getting a foul shot
not saying i condone what he did, but i understand…
and you can aruge that well…they are professional athletes & thats part of the job…but you have to draw the line somewhere…
where was the security??
i was at a Pitt football game this year & these retard kids (16-17yrs onld i’d say) were throwing candy at people in front of them…and they got spotted by security quick and thrown out…luckily cause i was about to say somthing to them…i mean come on grow up.
I think as an adult you should never get into a fight unless your life is in immediate danger. Violence doesnt solve anything. Ive got a strong enough will and I am secure enough with myself to walk away from having a beer thrown in my face. I have nothing to prove to anyone and neither should any other mature adult.
dam,wish i could
thats the thing…we’re not talking about everyone being a mature adult here…alot of fans & players are imature.
Artest is going to be the next dumb motherfucker to get shot…
