I am about as big as a sports fan as you can get, and it was easily the most insane thing I've ever seen in sports. It's bad to say, but if I were the players, I would have reacted the same exact way. The flip side of that coin is that they are paid NOT to act out like that. It's a tough situation, and a very unfortunate event.

Update:
| NEW YORK --Indiana's Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson, and Detroit's Ben Wallace were suspended indefinitely by the NBA on Saturday for taking part in one of the ugliest brawls in U.S. sports history, a fight with fans that commissioner David Stern called "shocking, repulsive and inexcusable." |

Ever watch rugby? You get some pretty epic, er..., dissagreements at times.

>> Artest suspended for the season. He shouldn't be allowed to play ever again after that. Absolutely ridiculous he went into the stands to seek out a fight. Aside from lost wages this season, wonder how much it's going to cost him in court.

There will be lots of lawsuits. Especially from that guy who Artest first went after. That guy was an innocent bystander. Artest ran right by the guy who through the cup at him.

One can argue with that. Just tune into Rush Limbaugh, or Matt Drudge (http://drudgereport.com/), and you'll find quite a few different sides.

Yeah but in Rugby it is legal to step on someone's head with your spikes. Basketball is a "non-contact" sport.
