You are correct, however different people were suspended for different amounts of times, there were people who entered the stands just to try to break up the fight, they only got 5 games. The second person to enter the stands and they hit somebody got 30 games.
Artest didn't really do much hitting, he just slammed the guys head against the chair and floor, or at least tried too. The NBA probably shouldn't have the authority to fine players for domestic abuse and the like. However, while in uniform and acting as an agent of the NBA, the NBA can do whatever they want to a play who is out of line. -----Original Message----- From: Won Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 12:03 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Ron Artest Did Stern punish Ronnie for hitting someone? Or did he punish him for going into the stands and hitting a fan? I don't think it was for hitting someone. Players involved in domestic abuse aren't suspended. They hit someone. NBA doesn't do anything. The fines are not related to the morality of Artest's action. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137686 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
