Among all the great sports action this weekend, the most exciting and unusual had to be the big fight between the Pacers, Pistons and the fans. David Stern, commisioner of the NBA, laid down some serious fines for those involved but I think the fans in the arena are partially to blame.
Now I've never been able to afford floor level tickets at any basketball game because these tickets are mad expensive. But it is really sad that some of those ticket holders were the ones down there throwing sodas and objects at players. I love basketball, because a fan can really get close to the action. Arena football is the only sport i can think off where the crowd could get close to players also because the players sit right in the bleachers also.
I would really hate to see hockey type barricades on basketball courts. Imagine how crappy that would be, but when the violence at sporting events in america is compared to tragic riots at sporting events from around the world. Then maybe its getting too outta hand.
