This past weekend in the US, we have experienced (IMNSHO) a rash of truly abominable sporting brawls.

Pistons/Pacers

Gamecocks/Clemson

another recent event~ "Frank Francisco arrested after hitting two fans with thrown chair (Rangers at Oakland, 2004)
The Texas bench and bullpen cleared when fans were razzing the players in the bullpen and Francisco was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery after he threw a chair into the right-field box seats near the Rangers' bullpen. The chair hit a man in the head, then bounced and struck a woman on her left temple."

I know Attest is being suspended for quite a few games for his part in the Piston/Pacer brawl but I'm curious about what you guys think????

To me this just confirms the saying I have on my fave teacher tshirt......I have not chosen the wrong profession, society has chosen the wrong heroes.

Do you think this is to be expected or do you expect your sports teams/players to abide the same basic rules we stress when they were in Little League?

Here is an article about the big US brawls ESPN .
