Reaction to Marcus smart shoving a fan
Http://m.espn.go.com/ncb/story?storyId=10426105
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 think it all depends on the context. I sat in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium while the fans yelled at Jeff Francouer that they ****ed his wife and other similar taunts. He just turned around and laughed and smiled, and the fans got a kick out of that. I think that type of heckling is always expected in some places. But I have a harder time with it in the college context.

Smart clearly has anger issues. He's had a series of on-court incidents already this year, and once you consider that Travis Ford is a joke of a coach and an enabler with a dysfunctional program, it seemed destined to boil over into something as extreme as this.

Maybe the roid rage just kicked in, I don't know. I've been on the other side of the argument the whole time. Don't lump me in with the Smart loyalists. |

1) College or pro there will always be people way out of line trying to tear you down. You never, NEVER, give in to it.
2) A push. A PUSH. I'm good with 3 games. 3) Keep in mind you're a college player and your entire life is supported by your game day performance. Never jeopardize the future for the emotions you feel in the present...

I just think the system is pretty stupid when a fan can get away with saying some nasty shit, and players (especially amateur players) aren't allowed to even jaw back or flick the guy off. Again, we'll see if nasty shit was said in this instance. My guess is this guy should have been clocked a long time ago. |

You keep saying that, once evidence came to light and EVERYONE else collaborated what Orr said of course I'm going to change my tune. Why wouldn't I? I should just blindly keep believing what I initially thought happened? So, thousands of years ago when we thought the Earth was flat and the universe orbited the EARTH, we later found out otherwise, I guess we should just refute all evidence showing otherwise because that was our initial view. okay.

And lets not kid ourselves, that's why he's there. A) This man should never have been allowed on the court where he could interact with the players. HUGE FAIL in security. B) He was in a position to MAKE - everyone around you is in a position to TAKE. Every mistake = take. That's why you act pro before you go pro...
