Good job, Mike Monroe. Getting a question in with Stern.
Sure, individual fans who were involved face criminal investigation. "Previous case in sports"? Weak, to say the least. This is the US and this is pro basketball.
Try again.
Good job, Mike Monroe. Getting a question in with Stern.
Jack was being Jack....it's totally different, he wasn't taunting the players...I agree he probably should be been told to move..but it's LA, ratings and he's been a season ticket holder for like 20+ years.
Who is talking about Artest? He was punished accordingly for what he did. And I fully agreed with that punishment?
Marcus, I've gotten under your skin (even when I wasn't trying to! LOL) Accept it.
Wrong line of thinking, bro. UM and the T'Wolves were punished as organizations. Actual games weren't shut down or anything, just administative penalties like loss of schollys, draft picks, etc. It affected the quality of the product, but it wasn't taken away. The only real time a fanbase has been punished for the actions of players was SMU and the death penalty.well it punishes the fan base as a whole, sending a message that nothing like this will be tolerated. Why in college basketball to they punish kids on a team like michigan for a mistake chris webber made 10 years ago? why does a team like minnesota get punished for somethin between an exec. and joe smith? why not just punish to the 2 involved?
I'm shocked. I didn't think Stern had the balls for this.
Yes, I find your repe ion of a weak argument annoying. This isn't the first time you have managed to annoy people in this forum with weak takes, as timvp will attest.
that is the problem
the nba did nothing then had it i
it would have sent a message to fans
Well I'm not! I'm a fan of basketball and the San Antonio Spurs and neither gives me any reasons to be embarassed.
What the players AND fans did Friday in Detroit is de able but I'm not going to let a few nutcases take away the good times and pride I've enjoyed - and probably will again - while being a basketball fan.
Is it a shame? of course it is! Was it bad for the NBA? Yes it was! Does it tarnish the sport? To a certain degree it did!
But none of this should make any (none beer throwing) fan feel embarassed or ashamed that she or he is a fan of the greatest team sport on the planet.
He definitely interfered with a game once.
I don't recall you getting pissed because Jack Nicholson would run on the floor.
To an extent I will say the league got what it asked for, with its incessant promotion of the "thug" mentality.
damn dude... watch the replay... i see a father having to use himself as a shield over his son, so his son doesnt get hit w/any flying debri, i think u cannot have 1000's of fans throwing anything they can get there hands on, especially with children in the arena, how are u gonna punish everyfan involved???? if you punish all the fans, every single person who threw somethin will get the message
What did Stern say?
Stern didn't announce a punishment for all Piston fans tonight, so there likely won't be any. Individual fans will likely be dealt with.

And if my posts were so unworthy, then why is MarcusBryant so vehemently arguing against it, taking it personally as well.
Of course, David Stern, was just this moment talking about a possible future action (he did say that as of right now, he just didn't know) against the Pistons organization and the fans.
If I'm so wrong, then why is it that everyone associated with the game also agreeing with me (of course, not entirely agreeing with me, but agreeing with certain parts of my argument)?
they agree with you one 1%
and you feel you are so right?
I'm in this thread because the newsconference is on. I don't recall seeing anyone "associated with the game" say that all of the Piston fans should be punished.
Sure, individual fans should be punished if they throw stuff on the court and run on the court. That's always been the case. Get a ing clue.
And just this second, David Stern mentioned that he was OK "losing some of those fans" in order to rid the games of the bad element.
But Marcus is right, David Stern has no idea of what he's talking about.
The suspensions are legit...I'm ok for it. It's too bad for the Pacer fans, as they had nothing to do with this issue. It indeed is a sad day, will it get better, of course. The season is long, and we'll see many positives this year. This will be a stainded footnote, but I like what the NBA has done.
Chritmas Day:
Lakers VS Heat MSTV.
And just this moment, Stern is mentioning the soccer example that I used earlier. Stern said that he hopes that he doesn't have to do that in the future, but he would also look into it further to use as an example.
Of course, like Marcus said, my soccer example had no place in this thread, whatsoever.
George Karl just addressed this. Punishment for individual fans may be increased according to what he has heard.
End of discussion.
[B]i truly think that jackson deserves more, because he charged into the crowd throwing wild slaps and punches like the little fool that he is, and noone did anything to him to make him react like
plus, he needs to cut his gay ass hair cut................
WTF? Can you even read? No one is arguing that individual fans who throw things and disrupt games shouldn't be punished. That's never been my argument.
Marcus Bryant just put him on your ignore list
adidas11 you need chill
