Poll question: Who should take the most blame for tonight's Pacers/Pistons fiasco??
Which party involved should take the most blame??

I haven't actually seen a recording of the brawl yet, but I hope to see it soon to see who was at fault IMO.

1. "Fans" is too kind a word
"Rioters-in-waiting" is a more appropriate term for Detroit sports enthusiasts.

5. Devils' Night - the night before Halloween
That seems to be under control recently. Those kids grew up and became Pistons fans.

3. Artest has always been a punk
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 12:26 AM by Socialist Dem
He was a punk when he was here in Chicago.

So someone threw a beer on him while he had is little dramatic lay down on the scorer's table....he should have let security handle it, but not Ronnie....he had to jump into the stands and prove how much of a man he is. Then his team mates had to go "help" him out with many many punches being thrown between players and fans.

Hope he gets his ass suspended for the season for this one.

EDIT: Do you really like SMC?????

4. Plenty of blame to go around......
Detroit fans were acting like assholes, but I don't even think Artest grabbed the right guy who tossed the cup at him.

I have to say, punching the fat guy was over the line, but funny as hell. I love these guys who think they are badass and can take on some 6'7" pro ball player......

6. I blame John Kerry.
He ran a lackluster campaign, which encouraged these hooligans in their hooliganism.
