The fat guy who came on the court and got sucker punched for his troubles got exactly what he deserved.
Ron Artest is about to get a rather big suspension. Whether it's deserved or not is debatable. I really can't blame him for being that angry, and I know it's hard in the heat of the moment, but he HAS to know better than to jump in the crowd. As soon as he did that, all bets were off.
For the people saying Ben Wallace is to blame for all this, look closer...Wallace may have started it, but Stephen Jackson did all he could to look for fights. His suspension should be the biggest of all.
Pistons fans should be ashamed of themselves, they really should. But this could happen at any arena in the country (except maybe Salt Lake City). So stop with the Detroit stereotypes.
Finally, John Saunders is a complete asshat. Yes, the fans are at fault, but, no matter what happened to provoke it, it is NOT OK to jump in the stands. For Saunders, as a "responsible" journalist, to absolve the players of responsibility is absolutely ridiculous. I'm so sick of holier-than-thou types such as Saunders. But this is the same guy who's touting Braylon Edwards for the Heisman, which shows his complete lack of credibility for...anything. (By the way, that's a joke).
I'm sure this is exactly what the NBA needed.
Riots in the stands...they're faaaaaaaantastic!
