Yes well I don't write about sports much, or even at all- but did you see that NBA Brawl ?
These players need to be fired and should remain ineligible for playing any professional sport in America again. One of the many reasons why I have stopped watching professional sports many years ago.
These athletes are over-paid crybabies, many of whom serve as horrible role models for our young people in this country.
OK so 1 guy makes millions gets shoved by another overpaid athlete. The fight extends to the stands, other players, fans getting punched in the face, (whether or not they deserved it is not the question. These guys are PROFESSIONALS, not thugs).
This fight in the stands with fans? Come on! I see a field day for lawyers here. Cha Ching $$$. But do the players even care? When they make millions what is a few games off without pay? Sounds like a vacation to me. In fact Ron Artest even asked for a few games off to promote a rap album and because of a very busy NBA schedule. He makes how many million?! $5,850,000. Busy schedule - give me a friggin break!
The saddest news clip was that of a little boy crying and afraid by the players and fans fighting. SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE!
Let's just hope criminal charges are brought up on these guys, (and I am sure some fans are deserving as well). I mean just for a fan to throw a $6 beer is a crime on so many levels!
This is why I pretty much don't care for professional sports. Except maybe soccer.
