Of course shoving fans and cursing at them is only an unclear violation of league rules........

And a fan grabbing a professional athlete during the course of the game is definitely OK.

But I guess that's how it is in this country these days - clear violations like nut punching and impeding a player's ability to perform is job are debateable, but you're banned for life if you call Dikembe Mutombo a monkey. Such is the state of thin-skinned America.

Thats not exactly how the eyewitness interviews I have heard described it but....... if thats how it went down then the fan should be banned from AAC and NBA events. Richardson should still be suspended. If I had a history of assault, was accused of assault by the victim and several witnesses, and admitted that the contact took place (albeit with claimed justification) I would be arrested that night and have my chance to explain it to a judge.
