Just curious... If the fan called Smart a racial slur, was he justified for shoving the fan.

I think its an interesting debate about where the line should be drawn for fans to get away with jawing at players. Let's first see if there's any truth to this. My personal opinion is that sports should have leeway for fan behavior, but there's a line that fans too often cross.

I suspect it won't be his decision to make.

My guess is Smart will read a written apology and the team will suspend him one game hoping that the Big 12 considers this adequate.

A short time thereafter we will here what the Big 12 has to say.

I watched a clip starting at when Smart was on the ground. It's clear from his reaction that something pretty nasty was said.

I don't have a big problem with it. It was only a shove. Fans shouldn't get a free pass any more than athletes should.

Show me video of you telling a black guy he's a ****er or telling him to go back to Africa.

Do that and I'll apologize to you and just admit that you're keeping it real.

He should be fired for letting it get this far anyways. Smarts antics have put this team into a death spiral all year..

Seems you probably deserve at least as much as this Tech asshole got.

I'm sure most guys would say "he called me a racial slur" so they could try to avoid suspension.

And laugh all the way to the bank.

What do you think Jackie Robinson went through?

Smart could never handle that.

First of all he's a college player not a pro so he's not making millions.
Second he's just a kid and has a lot of growing up to do before having the maturity to deal with those kind of situations.

Doug Gottlieb & him are best buds.

And this deceit would go through Smart's mind seconds after reacting?

Amazing the lengths some are going to deny something awful was said here.

Something awful was obviously said. Still, you don't go into the stands after a fan. Gotta be thick skinned. It's not fair, but it's the way it is.

Setsuna · 02-09-2014, 02:11 PM

I'd have a beer with Reerun anytime. He good people. Bambi on the other hand. Doubtful.

**Buehler445** · 02-09-2014, 02:12 PM

If anyone thinks something awful was NOT said, they're an idiot.

If anyone thinks this environment is any different than almost every other player faces, also an idiot.

**ChiTown** · 02-09-2014, 02:12 PM

Obviously, Orr said something to Smart for him to react like he did. What he said to draw the initial reaction, we don't have video on. We just see what transpires after Marcus gets in his face. The guy obviously says something that we see on video, but it isn't "go back to Africa" or "****er". Unless another TT fan or employee at the event can corroborate what came out of Orr's mouth, or Orr cops to coming clean on a racial slur, this is going to look bad for Smart only.

Amazing the lengths people will go through to make smart out to be a martyr for the betterment of man kind.
