Concerning that brawl at the basketball game recently, whose fault was that anyway. I don't go to many sporting events, but from what I have read, fans are getting pretty nasty these days. Should there be more restrictions on the fans during a game?

I think too many people forget that it's just a game. I heard of it too, I find it terrible people take a game so seriously.

I think they take their beer a bit too seriously as well.

OK here is my take on this.. The players should never fight with the fans, talk to the fans, interact with fans. Just play the game, thats what you get paid to to.. BUT

As the years go by, people change. If MLB, NBA, NFL keep punishing the player ONLY it will keep happening. You need to put some blame on the fans and actually do something about it. You know i have a short temper and i don't think i would be able to stop myself if someone threw beer at me and popcorn. From experience when ur playing a game your not yourself. You become an animal and would do things you would normally not. We have fans who piss in a beer cup and threw it at a player and don't get punished.

Interesting to hear that five (5) players from the NBA and five (5) fans that were involved in the brawl are being charged with several criminal counts of Assault and Battery as a result of this shameful incident. Thank God. Personally I think Artest should be kicked out of the NBA for life. What an

No kidding. Policies like this and the extremely lenient drug policy in the MLB irk me. They get paid MILLIONS and yet they can't avoid simple things like this.
