NBA BRAWL----It's the fans, stupid.....many are the same ones who were calling Bush Hitler, and a few of the same ones who sponsor websites attacking religion in the most despicable ways.
I live in supposedly "laid back" LA. I stopped taking my kids to pro football games years ago when it became obvious that drunken fan behavior was completely over the top. I now am fearful of taking them to Dodger games for the same reason, God help you if you are cheering for the other team. Outfielders fear playing in many stadiums because the fans throw batteries at them. The abusive foul language directed at players and their families is as bad as anything you could imagine. And nobody in their right mind will allow their young children to go to the stadium restrooms alone.
One of the things that we all have to acknowledge is the relative stupidity of most of the athletes, who are largely black college drop outs--and lately high schoolers who had horrible grades--- who have no parameters past their athletic specialty. One of the problems with uneducated people is that they haven't been taught to see alternatives past two. You're either good or bad, right or wrong, a menace or a friend; fight or run like a coward and nothing is worse than not standing up for your manhood. Vicious behavior is taught in the NFL, the hard foul is "part of the game" in the NBA, and the almost universal intake of steriods have as a side effect problems with aggression.
So we have fans with educations from the PhD level to high school---quite possibly drunk-- who have paid up to $500 per ticket vs the multi-millionaire players with 90+ IQs who carry grudges against both fans and owners because they think they are back on the plantation. This is a combustable formula waiting for a spark at every event. The fan who pays $500 feels entitled to see whatever he wants to see and if he doesn't get his money's worth he has no problem cursing. The players can only see black and white, the plantation owning fans suck and if they attack they will strike back.
The players won't change til their incomes are threatened and the fans won't change because they can always find alternative venues. All we have to do is look at the campaign tactics on the Left--- which continue right now---to see that this fan abuse doesn't stop at the stadium entrance. Right now there are sites, to which I refuse to link, where The Crucifiction is attacked by showing the face of Jesus as a naked buttox and the Virgin Mary is shown about to perform oral sex on an unseen man. Horrible attacks on the religious is now part of the main stream. How long do we think religious people will take it?
We all have to create rules of behavior and expect that the stupid won't "get it" until they are faced with only two choices: obey or lose your incomes. That's how the KKK was stomped out and the violent communists were made unacceptable. We are all out of control to a certain degree.

Somebody ought to staff an NBA team with white players.
I'd suggest a new NBA franchise located in some EU city, maybe Warsaw or Berlin.

Just a funny note that three out of the five states with the biggest job losses also have some of the most overpriced and unaffordable housing markets. New York, Chicago, and multiple cities in California have affordability indexes that have sky rocketed in the same amount of time that they have lost these jobs.
Maybe everyone without a job became housing speculators and artificially pushed up the markets. :)

Most expensive housing markets
See how yours stacks up.
(CNN/Money) -- Most homeowners know that how much house you get for your money depends entirely on where you live.
But Coldwell Banker's annual Home Price Comparison Index (HPCI) shows just how huge this affordability gap can be, comparing selling prices of similar homes in similar neighborhoods in more than 300 markets.
Specifically, Coldwell Banker looked at a 2,200-square-foot house with 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a family room and a two-car garage. The neighborhood - a more subjective measure - is one "typical for corporate middle-management transferees."
See how much that home would cost in your city - or in the city you dream of moving to.
