I don't know Super, yeah a lot of the high schoolers they get are immature brats who handle fame in negative ways. But there is always a Lebron, who can handle it in a great and respectable way. It's all in how they are raised and the discipline recieved as children. Same as anyone.
What I believe is they need to uphold these suspensions and look within all sports and see why the players feel they are above the fans and do what it takes (even if it means locking players out until lower salaries for one, are established). Players today, know that all sports get their money from television, endorsements, corporate ticket accounts, that they have no respect for fans anymore.
Like I said in a previous post, a fan throwing a cup (especially when the player is showboating and laying on the scorer's table) is nothing compared to the old days. Hell, Dave Parker was pelted with batteries in Pittsburgh every game for a season and he didn't do anything.
The athletes (most not all and in every sport from NASCAR to Baseball, to football (college and pro) to basketball) today feel like everyone should bow down to them and feel like they are OWED everything they get and that they do not have to work for it. It's time to correct this while we still can, if we still can.
