The reputation that Detroit has is a bad enough penalty. Besides, on the fans' side I see only one fan at fault for labeling all Detroit fans "punks". The guy who threw the beer is the punk (who, according to Local 4 Detroit here has been positively ID'd and was supposed to turn himself in to Auburn Hills Police today... and didn't...). When players goes up into the stands and starts beating up spectators, well of course the fans will react against it.
And I've gotta agree with bawanaal on Fark.com said:
"For all the trolling asshats out there that are ripping Detroit, this could have happened in any city. Remember Cleveland throwing hundreds of beer bottles at players and refs at a Browns game a couple of years ago? The iceball throwing incidents in NY not long ago? There was rioting in Denver after the Stanley Cup. You had NASCAR fans pelting the track with debris at Tallagega this summer. There is now a dead woman in Boston for chrissakes... So look in your own backyards as well.
This is ALL on Artest. I have no idea how anyone can defend him. "
