Now you've got rowdy fans from all over the country who see that those few Detroit fans managed to provoke three of the Pacers fans into significant suspensions, all by some taunts and beer throwing. Hell, it looks like a major win for fans everywhere who want to sabotage their hated rivals. There has to be a backlash against the team they love as well to balance it out and show that no, you can't get away with shit like this just to hurt the other team. Yes, arrests may do a little bit, but on the whole there will always be people who won't care about arrests as much as they care about hurting the other team, as long as their team doesn't get hurt in the process. It doesn't have to be too drastic, but they do have to forfeit some games I believe.
