everyone's fighting now. pistons/pacers, steelers/browns, usc/clemson, what the hell. last i knew no one cared about any of those 6 teams. except maybe pittsburg, cuz of rothlesberger who's a pimp so far. he's no brady though. this is what society is coming down to, huh. it's ridiculous. artest runs right past a 10-12 yr old girl to wail on some guy; the wrong guy. she's scared shitless if you watch the replay. but for once i thought a commissioner did something reasonable. suspended the rest of the season w/o pay. but tha'ts only $5 mil to him, no biggie.
the worst thing was when terry bowden (clemson coach) said something to the effect of "well all we've been watching for the last 24hrs is the detroit/indiana fight." i'm sorry WHAT? take some fucking responsibility. don't blame it on the media. shit, if you actually watched it, everyone was saying what an outrage it is. even steven a smith. when he says it's bad, you know it's gotta be BAD. and this is just reaffirming my apathy towards the nba. espn was talkin about how it's been geared towards teh "hip hop culture" as they called them. no wonder no white people watch it or care about it. no wonder the players are always getting arrested. no wonder there are so many illegitimate children out there. ok, rascist jokes aside, these people are being paid millions (well not the college guys), the least they can do is have some self restraint and not jump into the crowd. sorry artest, if that plastic cup and liquid hurt you, you need to stop being such a pussy. after the game you can just go home to your mansion, drink, and bang many hot chicks, so suck it up. the nba is now closer to reality television than it is a sport. if i must watch highlights on sportscenter then go celtics, otherwise piss off nba.
I wouldnt be surprised if occassionly that kind of behavior was promoted (in secret) by the managers or people, in order to increase their ratings.
