The disgusting displays of violence on the basketball court and the gridiron confirm what I've said all along. "Pro" athletes are a bunch of pampered, low IG'd goons who would be in prison if they weren't coddled their whole lives by teams, coaches and their mommies. How in the hell can you justify taking millions of dollars to PLAY a GAME and then react like a bunch of neanderthals? Of course, I've got a fix for it. Every sport at every level needs to levy some heavy penalties for this kind of behaviour. In professional sports, fighting should result in immediate and indefinite suspension and a heavy fine. Since they're "pros" 50 grand doesn't sound too steep. At the college level, a ten game suspension should solve the problem. Athletes don't understand much, but they do understand money. At the high school level, immediate and unconditional release from the team should do it. May as well nip it in the bud. This goes for all sports including hockey. Boxing is the sole exception. It might help if the "players" were assured that they'd get to spend their off time in jail for assault. Too harsh? Tough!
Several of you requested access to the comment portion of the blog. I have now provided it, but have seen little result. Don't you guys have anything to say about all this nonsense? If I get no comments, I will have to conclude that I am 100% right all the time!! That means I'll get even more egotistical and will bloviate at length. Oh well.

You are right about sports and fighting. But you need to go one step further and put some of the blame on those idiot parents that raise hell at T-ball and little leagu games. Boy what a way to teach sportsmanship. And fans can be pretty stupid sometimes too.
You are right about bad behavior being the norm now but it all gets back to the liberal courts and attitude towards life that removes all boundries. 100 years ago we hung horse thiefs, now days car thiefs don't even go to jail. When bad behavior goes unpunished it usually gets worse.
