That jackass who threw beer on Artest

[eddo31]

i thought it was interesting seeing what chris chelios had to say about the incident. he was at the game, sitting courtside, and he said it was absolutely insane. he also said that it was clearly wrong to go into the stands, but at the same time he didnt think he would have remained on the court if his teammate was in the stands. he would have gone in as well, is what he said, even though he knew it would be wrong.

mitch albom had some interesting things to say in his column yesterday, basically saying that this is a black eye for everyone involved.

I played basketball in high school and we were really tight. Any scuffle my teammate was involved in woulda led me right in, no questions asked. Your brother goes into a fight, whether he started it or not, you'll be right behind him.

Woulda done exactly what Stephen Jackson did.

lol i would have loved to have seen this happen. Similar things have happened over in the Uk a few times, but never as a result of people actually throwing things at the sportperson involved. He deserved a right good slapping hope he gets arrested for assault.

Trust me, if you needed to see this, just throw in a random English soccer game with thousands of drunken englishman in the stands when a fight breaks out.

I'm sure if you do a google search you are likely to find the clip. On TSN up here they even showed the chair that was tossed randomly thru the air, I wonder who that hit?

the chair hit an older gentleman who was knocked unconsious, horrible spelling i know. if i'm not mistaken he is one of the people who have already sued.

lol, i have been watching Leeds UTD for years, thru the years I have seen riots, many many fights, police charges, drunken stampedes etc etc.. Its really cleaned itself up over the last 10 years, no such fun at soccer games now.
