Horrible decision indeed.

I wonder how many instances of spitting will happen in youth leagues as a result now that "TO" has done it and gotten away with it. I mean...let's be real. "35 large" is like fining normal citizens a nickel! (Sorry, Mr. Barkley, you ARE a role model whether you want to be or not)

And the spectacle that was the most recent basketbrawl? Let them lose all players on the floor who didn't immediately remove themselves from the area when the foul occurred - and the head coach - for 10 games. Or, admit that you are no longer a major sport, Mr. NBA Commish, install 15' high fencing around the perimeter of the court and treat it for what it is becoming.....WWE

Note: I am an equal opportunity sportsmanship zealot. Doesn't matter if it is a bat thrown in the MLB, a 3400 lb stock car slammed into an unsuspecting competitor under the caution, an intentional head butt in MLS or a career ending injury due to swinging a stick at someone's head in the NHL. We are RUINING sports for our kids.....
