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. |

Promoting violence because people would applaud you for it has led to chaos. Stick to jacking off and let the competent people think for you.

I really liked your willfull ignorance comment. I agree wholeheartedly. We act like teenagers aren't smart enough or wise enough to make some of the decisions they do, but I don't buy it. Some maybe, but not nearly the amount we give a pass too.

Let's just surround the court with chicken wire ala "Bob's Country Bunker" in the Blues Brothers.

In this country you don't get to become violent with people over the words they say. No matter what words they are. That's why it's not remotely okay for Smart to react the way he did. I'm certainly not justifying it, but write your congressman to have the laws changed.

Well, Smart didn't really go in the stands he ended up there trying to block the Tech kids layup/dunk attempt. After the whole thing the old fart was laughing it up.

Thanks. Yeah and I also agree with this. I firmly believe a lot of young black people are deep thinkers and all this but their peers or parents even might not appreciate it and therefore would stifle their ability to develop. Now maybe Smart wasn't going to do anything but perhaps he thought if I don't do anything my teammates would tease me or something. Because at his age he is still being influenced by his peers. If he did it because he can't control himself then oh well but regardless he must accept the consequences of his own actions.

Doesn't matter what he said
Words don't = physical reaction when it comes to a fan/athlete situation
