everybody was kung-fu fighting...

i can't believe that punched by j. o'neal on some fat piston fan that they kept showing on sportcenter. now that was a pretty fucking awesome punch, especially when they show it in slow-mo. basically, the fan was getting up and o'neal's right arm suddenly appears from the right side of the screen, slowly, slowly, closer and closer until his fist connects with the jaw of the fat piston fan. then you see the rest of o'neal as he slips and the fan flat on his back wondering what century he's in (to the batcave!).

my take on this incident is that fans who fucking throw things should get what they deserve. just because you buy a ticket to see a professional sporting event doesn't give you the right to throw things at the opposing players. hackling players, yes. throwing, spitting, interferring with players, no. when will people realize this and behave with more civility?

fans who walk onto the court looking to instigate more trouble should also get what they deserve. it's completely ridiculous. but that punch was pretty damn awesome. hahaha.

having said all that, the fight tonight was pretty messed up. espn played a clip where an elderly lady was lying on the court at the bottom a pile which probably isn't a good thing. you see all these little kids crying because they were traumatized by what was basically a riot. what is up with some of the people in detroit? why would you continue to throw your drinks at opposing players as they are leaving the court? cost of the drink aside, why do something that could further instigate trouble and you getting your ass kicked?

and what about that chair playing into the middle of a fight? it was almost like wwe. and sucker-punching players. what's that all about? why not just fight them man to man? if you are "man" enough to punch someone, you should be "man" enough to fight them face-to-face.

but the players should be blamed as well. like other people have said, you should never, ever go into the stand. that is just not smart and it will basically instigate more trouble in the end. but that was still an awesome punch by o'neal.

so the fight was good tv, but bad for everyone that was involved. i'm wondering when will the nba ban the selling and drinking of alcohol at nba games. seriously, does it make sense for people to be drinking at sporting events?

of course, that's not going to happen because the sale of alcohol produces a lot of revenue for owners. it's just a matter of time when every playing field will be surrounded by a wall of clear plastic just like hockey so that unruly fans can not get onto the field of play. maybe even a damn clear plastic dome.

fucking piston fans.
