A Ticket is Not a License to Commit Assault
THIS GUY is absolutely right about the recent NBA brawl. It speaks to a much larger issue between players and fans. The players certainly deserved the suspensions they received, but the fans have got to get control of themselves. A ticket to a professional game of any sport is not a license to commit crimes. Local prosecutors and judges are going to have to take a stand and make examples of the fans involved. Thirty days in a local county jail would do wonders for all the idiot hot-heads out there who go after or throw things at the players.
My bet is that we will see much more of this, and not just in the NBA. It will be interesting to see how the leagues and law enforcement agencies will react...
