| Place of Blame |
| 11.19.04 (9:50 pm) [edit] |
The NBA had one of its darkest moments tonight. And before I get to hear what Commissioner Stearn has to say, I want to share my thoughts about the brawl between the Pistons, Pacers, those individuals who chose to cross the line, and those who chose not to apprehend them.
For anyone at that game who did nothing to stop those who decided to cross the line, shame on you. For all Detroit Palace security officers who did not apprehend those individuals in the stands who decided to cross the line, shame on you. The blame I place for the dominoe effect of shattering the image put forth at the start of the NBA new year is everyone who decided to turn away and watch mayhem unfold. Shame on you.
And for honors, I congratulate Jermaine O'Neal for that punch on the fan who came onto the court.
I have plenty to say about this incident. I will be writing more tomorrow...but for now, NBA should have the balls to suspend Ben Wallace, and do NOTHING ELSE except prevent Detroit Fans from sitting in the lower deck at the next 5 home games and in all Pacer-Piston games for the next 5 years. This, coming from an NBA fan of 28 years, and from someone who has a lot of respect for the Detroit organization and their title run in '04.
For all of you soda splashing, chair throwing, fist flinging idiots in Detroit.... you blew it. But who blew it more were those who failed to apprehend those who have now ruined the image of the NBA.
