Don't blame the school system ..... blame the kids and/or parents.

Speaking of the 'NBA fracas' ...... while I do not condone the actions of a few of the NBA players, I find the major fault with the fans that were totally out of line. A couple of players went at it - one went over to the scorers table - and that may have been the end of it - had a fan (fans ?) not started throwing beer, etc.
.
I have been to a number of hoops games (college) that had fights -but they were 'diffused' by the refs, etc. But this one featured a few idiots in the stands. If anything, these fans should have realized that they were not fooling with Mr Rogers or Captain Kangaroo. A seasoned B Ball fan will realize the guys out on the court are as competitive as they come.

I realize I am (probably) in the minority of this one. However, put yourself in that position (NBA player that gets a cup of beer thrown in his face) - and you may have done the same. I am almost certain I would have. Someone throws a beer on me and I will retaliate.

Speaking of Larry Bird ......... etc .......... I would not have been surprised if someone like Larry Bird, etc. would have gone after a fan that threw beer on him.
