Well, don't get me wrong, I don't approve of the way Artest reacted, he did hit someone, and his action in my opinion was not warranted and should not be considered self defense, however the nba rule he broke was leaving the floor and going into the stands.
He broke a law when get got there, and should be dealt with in accordance to the law. Once his legal troubles are dealt with the NBA and Indiana should review his contract and determine if he is an asset to the league and his team or a liability. I still believe that as far as the law goes he is innocent until proven guilty. And while I don't think they will have any problem proving guilt, he still deserves a fair trial before his hangin' just like everybody else. The NBA should act in a way to protect the organization and the teams first, then deal with the moral/legal issues after they have been dealt with by the authorities. -----Original Message----- From: Won Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 4:43 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: NBA That I can fully understand. Sports is kinda funny that way. No one condones academic fraud, unless a football player is involved. Then you get some psychos that send death threats to professors that report it. So we aren't all in a fuss because Artest his someone. We are in a fuss because Ron Artest, the basketball player, hit a paying customer. It isn't that Artest did something bad. It's because he disgraced the game. This is sad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137564 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
