Re: Artest gone for year, other suspensions absurdly long
"they helped their team out by taking actions that ultimately led to the crippling of their rival's chances and dramatically improved their favorite team's chances of winning a NBA title."
I can't understand this. If Artest points out the cup thrower (which, of course, he couldn't have, since he didn't see it; but the guy could certainly have been identified by others) nothing happens. The only people who tooks actions that led to the crippling of their team were the Pacers who decided to go into the stands because one guy threw a cup.
You might just as well say that if a guy I beat at poker wasn't able to pay his rent I was responsible for taking actions that led to the guy being thrown out onto the street. Whatever happened to personal responsibility for one's actions?
