January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Players went into the stands and fought with fans.|

about 1 second of that brawl and this means only one punch which landed very
hard right on a fan's chin. This guy obviuosly couldn't take a punch as well as
Chuvalo and went down. I think that I would have had a little trouble at
dividing the brawlers, with my about 5'4" wingspan. It would have needed at
least Warren Coolidge. I wonder how it has to be having a brawl with Shaquille
Rashaun O'Neal ( who, obviously, wasn't involved... ).|
|11/23/04 02:12:18 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Well, I
told my wife that if I were sitting in the stands, I wouldn't throw anything at
the players. But, if Ron Artest came after me and my family because he made a
mistake and THOUGHT I was the one who threw the cup---and it wasn't me---I would
take several hard punches to the head from Artest, but I would also throw my 190
pounds, rolled up in a ball, as hard as I could, right at his knee. Hopefully
that act would end his career while my black eye and broken nose would heal in a
few weeks. Of course, my wife corrected me and said rather than end his career,
she'd want me to end my own career by taking his punch without retaliating, then
suing him for a couple million dollars. |

have read on the Internet that Ron Artest is as wilt as Warren Coolidge, at 6'7"
and that weights 246 lbs. I guess that the fan who took his punch was less wilt
and less andre' than him.|
|11/23/04 05:48:10 PM|Massimo Cini da Pisa|Roma||Coolidge was the best American
president ever.com||||10|And,of course,Ron Artest is only 2 inches less wilt
than Kent's friend in Boston ( Kent has a friend in Boston).|

I think a bit of audience participation is a good thing. Pretty soon we'll have
spectators on big money being managed by Don King. Spectators baiting the
players will be part of the sport, and what's wrong with that, especially if you
have guys like Iron Mike and Mitch Green in the crowd.I'd take it a step
further. How about each side be given dispensation for, say, five elbows to the
head each game and maybe a couple of knees and punches, too. If they don't use
'em all in one game, then they can transfer them to the next game.
Crowds love that stuff and it would take the violence off of the streets
and back into the stadiums where it should be. Every event would be a super
bowl. Every contest an Ali v Frazier 'fight-to-the-death' spectacle.We
have to make our sports more gladiatorial and encourage spectator involvement.
It would certainly liven boring sports like tennis. Players should be permitted
to hit more than just the ball with their rackets. If they get sledged by
someone in the crowd, players should be encouraged to react with uncontrollable
violence. Imagine how good tennis could have been if McEnroe was sanctioned to
attack people. Let him loose on the referees and the ratings would have gone
through the roof.In case you didn't already know it - Ali was the
greatest !|
|11/24/04 03:38:36 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|The brawl at
the basketball game is the fault of the players and the fans and both should be
penalized, especially whoever started it. The fan should be charged with
inciting to riot. Criminal charges should also be filed against the players who
attacked fans.|

don't understand is: why the players care so much about what the fans are saying
? They gain millions of dollars a year, the fans don't. In the after brawl
interview Ron Artest initially apologized for his behaviour and two minutes
later he spoke about his new CD. What an idiot he is ! He has less brain than a
crawfish (dictionary)! I hope that Wilt never got himself involved in brawls
during a basketball game ! Was Andre' ever involved in brawls ?|
