    The game was up in Detroit. One player fouled another. A shoving match ensued, tempers flared and the fighting spilled out into the crowd. That's my synopsis. Here's the article:

    It's messed up, but the fans were partially responsible. They started throwing chairs and bottles at the basketball players before the basketball players went up into the stands. Also some of the fans ran onto the court to throw punches of their own. If they don't want their kids crying they shouldn't be fighting. The fight was going on between the players and the fans didn't need to get involved. If the kids are crying it's because their parents started crap. People bring their kids to places and then act a fool. Blame the parents more than anyone else.

    The players going into the stands is unexcusable but the fans going onto the court are also unexcusable. If you go onto the court, I'm sorry, but you deserve to get beat up. The fans were running onto the court to exchange punches with the players, the fans WANTED to fight and that's what they got. The fans were not innocent bystanders but were more than willing participants.

    I'm not excusing the basketball players for what they did, but as far as the fans go, if you throw a punch (or a chair) don't expect for someone not to hit you back. The fans wanted to fight and that's what they got. If you have junior there than that is even more irresponsible for you to be trying to start fights with other grown men. I can not feel sorry for the fans involved because I feel like they brought it upon themselves and escalated the situation.

    I guess people are more offended at having their kids watch some blond throw herself naked into the arms of a football player than they are of having their kids watch them act beligerently and fight.

    Sports teams spend a lot of time hiring thugs these days. First we heard all about the football players that kill their wives and shit. Now we got rape and thuggery going on with the basketball players.

    I have no respect for sports at all. Nothing but a bunch of loud mouth "bad asses."

    As far as the kids who were crying.

    Why didn't parents who had children leave immediatly after players started shoving each other on the court? I simply wouldn't want my kids to watch 2 grown men shoving each other and thinking that was correct behavior.

    I bet you a million that the parents of the kids who were crying were edging the fighting on, cheering, and prehaps participating in the violence themselves. They didn't give a hoot how their kids felt. These parents had no qualms about their kids watching adults behave violently. They didn't feel like they should leave even when it was obvious that their kids were getting upset.

    Even if some of these parents were not fighting why were they sitting there with their kids while this mayhem was going on? There is no excuse for the parents obstinant behavior. The parents didn't feel the need to shield their kids from what they were seeing or to remove them from the situation (which would have been the most prudent thing to do.) They felt totally ok with their kids watching people clobber people over the head with chairs.

    But these same parents get freaked out when Nicollette Sheridan throws herself into the arms of Terrell Owens. Go fig.

    This shows what went on from start to finish.

    http://www.clickondetroit.com/sports...95/detail.html

    The video here clearly shows how it originally was just an incident between the players on the court (which happens), in fact, the fighting between the players was starting to calm down but then the fans decided to drag themselves into it. The fans were being much more violent than the players and didn't want to stop fighting. Do you notice how the whole crowd starts cheering when the piston fans start getting into fist fights? The fans were more than eager to fight. The crowd had no intentions of stopping and continued to throw things at the players. Fans were trying to make their way onto the court.

    Reminds me of an incident years ago when I was in elementary school. There was this family that was pretty "blue collar."

    I remember the mother coming outside the door during a fight her kid got into yelling out "You beat him! You beat him good! Kick his ass!"

    Years later, I heard from my mom that she had lost her child (then a young man) to a murder. He was beaten to death with a baseball bat.

    Though I don't know all the circumstances, I am thinking that he walked right into the situation with both eyes open.

    He was raised that way and he died because of it.

    Amazing what happens when these wealthy yuppies who can afford the prime seats at these sporting events will do when they've had a few too many of those $7 beers. I remember a NY Giants FB game some years back where people began throwing snowballs on the field.

    I'm rather irritated by all the people making a big fuss along the lines of "oh, I'm saddened that children had to see this" (in reference to the fighting), but won't dare to blink an eye to the "grown" adults who can't watch a freaking basketball game without intoxicating themselves. If people want to set a good example for their children, one way to start perhaps is by not consuming alcohol in front of them.

    Well it is being reported that Ron Artest of Indiana will be suspended for 30 games, O'neal and Jackson of Indiana will be done for 20 games each, and the Detroit player Ben Wallace will be out for 5 games. Maybe that will make the players think for a half a second before going into the stands, seeing how Indiana's season could be messed up over this. That said,I think any of the fans that went onto the court to attack the players should be charged and banned from any basketball games for at least a year as well. There have been too many incidents of fans attacking athletes over the past coulple of years, I guess a couple of beers make some people lose consciousness when they are at sporting events.

    Just to add to the above post, the NBA has announced that Ron Artest has been suspended for the rest of the season, or about 70 games. I guess that just might deter players from going into the stands.

    Ron Artest epitomized what I dispise about Modern Basketball. He is young, immensely talented individual who entirely buys into the utterly individualistic attitude of modern players, as well as someone who revels in the "thug" mentality that permiates the NBA today. The game is merely a way to garner them all the hos, bling bling and cash. They have loyalty only to the money they make - NOT the game or the fans as a whole - which is the avenue for all their wealth and prestiges.

    Many fans are no better. They willingly pay tons of money to see their teams, then think that that is their liscense to break both the law and social standards.

    Idiots abound and are all around.

    Could you imagine players like Doctor J, Kareem, Jerry West, and Bill Russell playing today with their duel passion for the game and their sense of dignity? They would be laughed off the court by the thugs.

    I was impressed with what the NBA handed down.I didnt think they would do it!
    Missing the season will cost that guy 5 million dollars i heard and some of the rest are looking at millions also in lost earnings.
    From what i understand,this isnt including any fines from the NBA,just lost money from not playing.

    Now im looking for the sponsors,if these guys had any,to levy their input into this.

    After that,im looking for johnny law to press charges.Artest should see the inside of a jail cell IMO,and so should a few others.

    It was real easy for the media to jump right on the fans as they tried to do.Cant really blame them because as someone mentioned,fans have been a problem in the past.Im glad that the players are starting to be seen as the problem in this situation,regardless of the bleeding hearts club.

    The fan who tossed the drink should have been ejected,and maybe even charged with something as an example.
    The fan who ran onto the court didnt deserve what he got.He didnt even have his hands up!!!!! Look at the footage,he didnt even have a clenched fist!He was a putz who ran onto the court and was cheering.
    Even when standing toe to toe with a guy 2 feet taller then him,he didnt even have his hands up in defense let alone in a confrontational stance.
    I wonder if he was wearing a different color jearsy,would he have been hit again by the guy in the suit,or the player who flew in with a sucker punch that laid him out.

    As for the parents who seem to be at fault by some on the thread.
    If you look at the footage,you will see what all the exits looked like.Do you really think a parent would be safe trying to get their kids out that way???
    the safest thing they could have done was stay in thier seats.Staying put was the correct answer for anyone not in the front rows.Those that didnt stay put is what helped start the stampead to the exit doors.
    The parents have no blame in this IMO,unless of course they dont sue everyone they possibly can.

    I'm pretty satisfied with the actions of the NBA on this one-But had it been up to me....
    I would have put the guy that jumped into the stands first out of the league period. I also would have put the others out for a year or longer.

    In addition to that I think the fan should be brought up on some charges too.

    the whole thing STUNK-- imo

    Agreed...I completely think that every fan that participated in that should have been charged with some form of battery, public intoxication, and just plain stupidness.

    The guy that ran out onto the court "deserved" what he got. You don't go running into a brawl and expect to not get the crap kicked out of you. Stupid...someone should hand him a sign.

    imo, it's all Artest's fault. Didn't this whole thing start with his hard foul with 45 seconds left into the game? In my eyes, he's come across as a brash punk with a "fuck anybody who crosses me" attitude. He got off easy with his suspension. Although I'm sure any money he loses will be made up for with his soon to be released rap album.

    As far as the parents who showed up with their kids to watch a "family friendly" basketball game, I agree. But again, I turn attention to the alcohol. If stadiums and arenas were ran by the same rules as bars and taverns were ran by, children would by no means be ever be allowed into them. If they want these events to be "child friendly", they should perhaps start by banning alcohol sales at games. Fat chance of that happening.

    Frankly, while I'm happy the NBA was harsh on these suspensions, I think this moral posturing on their part has come a bit too late. They've been using the very thug element which reared its ugly head on Friday night to promote their sport for the past several seasons, even going so far as to grant use of its name in a video game like NBA Ballers, (rated E!) where expensive cars, mansions, and scantily clad women are amongst the prizes a player can buy with the money he wins. Its a bit hypocritical for David Stern to say how he's disgusted with what happened, when his league (as well as the other professional sports leagues) are helping contribute to the very environment that leads to these ugly episodes.

    Yeah, isn't it funny that he was actually asking for time off to promote that album? Now he has all the time he wants.

    I thought some of you might take interest in this article. I don't know where it came from somebody posted it on the Student Forum at my school.

    Fight Night in the NBA
    By Dave Zirin

    I don't think we'll be hearing the 'NBA Action is Faaaantstic' slogan revived anytime soon. The aftermath of the most violent player/fan brawl in US sports history has met with the hand wringing we usually associate with Janet Jackson's right breast. The fight between several members of the Indiana Pacers and a garrison of Detroit Pistons fans veered wildly from the frightening to the ridiculous.

    There were Pacers forwards Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson, swinging haymakers at anyone with a potbelly and a Pistons jersey. There were their 5'9" inch 220 pound combatants throwing punches at Artest like he was Joey from the block and not a 6'8" inch pro athlete who could cave in their face. There was Rick Mahorn of all people - the tough guy of the 1980s Pistons teams, getting up from the broadcast booth and pulling people apart - like an 'old timers brawl' of sorts (I kept looking for Charles Oakley to emerge from the crowd and hit Mahorn with a folding chair.) And there was that moment when tragedy truly became farce: seeing Rasheed Wallace step in as 'peace maker'.

    As soon as Artest was pelted by a cup of ice, hurdled into the crowd, and started throwing haymakers like Clubber Lang, you knew that NBA commissioner David Stern would bring down the hammer and he did not disappoint. Artest, the reigning NBA defensive player of the year, received a 73 game suspension, the longest in NBA history. Also getting nailed with historic time away from the court were the Pacers' Stephen Jackson who got 30 game vacation, and all-NBA forward Jermaine O'Neal who was not only pegged with 25 games but also face charges for cold cocking a fan off camera in full view of several Auburn Hills' cops.

    Whenever an event this out of the ordinary occurs, the sports establishment ever fearful of a black eye, treats it like a catastrophic epidemic and has already offered PR solutions ranging from banning beer sales to circling armed cops around the court (that is exactly what Friday needed amid the chaos: guns).

    What this approach ignores, including logic, is the opportunity to confront a new phenomenon in US sports: the simmering animosity between ticket holding (emphasis on ticket holding) fans and the players. Here, whether Stern and the NBA brass want to discuss it or not, we have a mulligan stew of race, class and grievance that says a great deal about the uneasy place of pro sports in US society. First, as columnist Jason Whitlock commented after the brawl, "Many fans love the sport but just hate pro athletes." Athletes in the eyes of many fans are too spoiled, too loud, too "hip-hop" too tattooed, too corn-rowed - all of which translates to players as "too black."

    Also in this era of fantasy leagues, yipping high testosterone sports radio, high-ticket prices, and league sponsored EA sports video games that wallow in computerized bench-clearing brawls, fans more than ever see themselves as participants and not observers (the EA sports slogan actually is "get in the game").
    Those fans in Detroit, $50 ticket in hand, believe they have more than the right - they have the duty -to throw punches at opposing players if the opportunity presents itself. One striking scene from the Auburn Hills fight was when a man clearly on the gray side of forty, appears to be pulling at Artest to break up the fight, and then throws three straight rabbit punches to the back of the 6' 8 inch forward's head.

    This man also happened to be white, which is the other side of the fan/athlete resentathon. NBA players the overwhelming majority of whom come from poor inner city backgrounds, don't look at the stands and think, "Hey! What a terrific group of 40-year-old white guys I'm going to be dunking for this evening!" As one player said to me, "I look at the seats and don't see anyone from my old hood or anybody that looks anything like me. It's like you're a monkey in a cage." So we have angry white fans trying to punch out angry black players with the players returning the favor. This animosity is very real and not going anywhere.

    This violence is also heated by the bloodshed engulfing US society - not street violence, but the state-sanctioned variety. ESPN has replayed the "horror" of the fight ad nauseum, in black and white, with all kinds of slo-motion angles. They have reveled in this fight and crying all the way to the ratings bank. But as the "World Wide Leader" cries over the punches thrown, remember that this is also a network that did a week of Sports Centers in Kuwait, on a set made up to look like a machine gun nest. Ask people in Falluja what violence really looks like, and the role a network like ESPN plays in promoting the acceptance of such violence. An NBA player's union rep quite correctly tried to give some perspective to the brawl, commenting that "Yes it was violent. But there is violence everywhere. There is violence in war." This is a thoughtful comment with at least a modicum of perspective. He will probably be fired.

    None of this is to excuse what broke loose in Auburn Hills. Without question the assaults were as ugly as anything seen on in an NBA arena since Paul Mokeski. Artest is a troubled young person who recently took the number 91 as a tribute to Dennis Rodman. But unlike Rodman, who in his spare time, took part in World Championship Wrestling Shows and cheesy action flicks with Jean Claude Van Damme, Artest has never seen basketball as entertainment or spectacle and has had real issues with rage.
    Washington Post Columnist Michael Wilbon has said for years that Artest's much talked about on court "antics" and flagrant fouls were not funny and someone in Pacers management needs to step in and get him professional help before "something terrible happens." I don't think Wilbon has ever felt worse for being right.

    One aspect of this whole ugly situation that hasn't been addressed is the selling of alcohol at sporting events. What was a so-called fan doing with a full beer with less that 1 minute left in the game ? THere is going to come a time when beer sales will have to be stopped way before the end of a game, look at football, that is not a sporting event you take your family to. I think baseball stops the taps at like the 7th or 8th inning. Maybe basketball will have to stop at the end of the 3rd quarter. I know this isn't an excuse for what went on, but I think it had more to do with the situation than the NBA wants to let on. They don't want their image associated with a bunch of drunks, maybe with a bunch of street thugs, but not drunks.

    It has been addressed in the news in my area. I agree the drinking added fuel to the fire but don't look to see beer disappear from US sporting events anytime soon. There is too much money to be made on both ends.

    One aspect of this whole ugly situation that hasn't been addressed is the selling of alcohol at sporting events. What was a so-called fan doing with a full beer with less that 1 minute left in the game ? THere is going to come a time when beer sales will have to be stopped way before the end of a game, look at football, that is not a sporting event you take your family to.

    I agree, that's what other sporting events do. Anybody remember nickle beer night in Cleveland when you had naked people running around the field? But like Laura said, it's all about the $$$$$.

    And btw, I can't stand Artest. Ban him from the NBA for all I care.

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
