From a discipline standpoint, no, it probably won't. He's going to get suspended regardless. But it's going to mean everything about how this situation is ultimately perceived.

There is no acceptance for what smart did. At any level. Dudes put up with that crap night in and night out and nobody goes into the crowd lighting dudes up. No matter what they say. |

Sure, you can't go around shoving asshole fans as an athlete, but don't ask me to feel bad for a guy who probably got exactly what he deserved.

Actually, no. It doesn't matter at all. Nothing changes the outlook of what happened. Do you honestly think this is the first time a black athlete was called a "****er" by a white fan?

Unrelated, but who is everyone's B12 POY so far?
Mine would be Embiid for the enormous impact he's had when he's actually in, but I think Wiggins would actually be the favorite to win it if they did the voting right now...especially the way he's progressed in conference play. Kane or Ejim would probably be right there as well. Smart (especially now) and Staten probably don't stand a chance due to their teams' lack of success. |

Sure bet Smart wish he would have left after last year.
What an embarrassing year for him and the Pokes. |

It doesn't. It's not about the fan getting hurt. I wouldn't piss on the guy if he were on fire. This is about the remarkable fall from grace that Smart is going through. Last year the dude was fairly untouchable. He beat a really good KU team in AFH by himself basically, he was a lock for the lottery, and after he came back, he was thought to have his team in the hunt for a title, if he showed progress at all he should be the best player in the nation by a mile, and should be a lock for top 5. Now, he's 4-6 in conference, not shooting well, not playing to the level he was last year, has a reputation as a flopper rather than just being more clutch and athletic than everyone on the floor and now he goes after a fan? That is a significant role reversal. And just Smart gets all the credit for OSU success, justly or unjustly, he's going to get credit for the failures. If he were a hawk we'd all love him. He'll his situation is not completely unlike Brandon Rush. Fact is though he's not a hawk, he plays in conference and the dude isn't untouchable like he was last year. |
