i haven't read all the postings here. If you start to quote others, postings will get longer. Here's what I say about Artest and Wallace. It's not that Artest have not seen people like Wallace. He hails from Wueens project and played at Queens bridge, visit once before you talking about how much guts Artest have. Yes he tried to control himself, being just suspended 2 games by the team. He tried to control and he did but he blew off after beer showered him while lying in the table. Here's what I would have been okay about the suspension. Stern should asked him to get psychological help beside the suspension. If he were to comply he will be reinstated after 20, 30 or 40 wotever game that is. You don't desert the players when they are in tought time but you try to help them. That's why i say Stern needs to go...... Stern as players is too arrogant and he thinks he can do wotever he feels like it. And what happened to 500 lbs guy??? I bet he won't be. we all know the reason why :=) got Q for you people, what happens to the salary players are supposed to get??? does that go to charity or they can use to sign other players??? and about the fancisco dude in baseball, please go and check how games were left for the season... when someone chokes the coach and retaliated again, he gets 68(???) and someone as big size of an elephant gets only 3 games suspension when he start to hurl at other player.... PLAY FAIR GAME ther must be at least 30 morons throwing objects at players, police has to take action to all of them...............
