Should be interesting to see how fans ge proscuted. Even palyers for that matter. But like I said, i blame the fans for this one. If someone throws something at me and i know who did it...Its on. Thats called selve defense. Even the cop interviewed by ESPN said the same thing. You have every right to defend yourself. I see your point about restraining ones selve but Artest was all jacked up after the fight on the floor with Wallace and the fan was just looking to entice him and start crap. It worked, and the fan got the crap kicked outta him.

Yeah, Skip, but Artest had NO IDEA who threw the object at him! He just went into the stands swingin' at the first guy he could get ahold of. He was lying on his back looking up when that cup of beer hit him, he didn't know who threw that. Self defense, but from whom?
The Detroit fans who acted out like this are dirtbags for sure... Anyone of us would be angry if some low-life scum bag throws something at you, but when you're a professional athlete being paid what... 8, 10, 12 million a year... you cannot bite the hand that feeds you no matter what.
Take the NBA, and the NHL for that matter, and flush 'em!
