Well, I just had to chime in with some comments about the fights that took place this past week in the NBA game between the Pistons and the Pacers. First, "yikes"!!! The game looked like a NHL game. Perhaps, hockey fans got some satisfaction that all out brawls can occur in other sports as well. Second, it is sad that so many professional athletes can let their tempers get out of control. I believe the players were severely provoked by some unruly fans. However, the actions by drunken fans should not absolve the retaliation committed by the players. Third, I hope the police and the district attorneys will review all the video tapes and arrest those 'drunks' who threw punches and beer cups at the players. And last, I hope the NBA bans those fans who were involved in the altercations from attending future games.
