A forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local and national issues
Question
of the Week: "What
fallout and changes do you think may result from the "basketbrawl"
in
Detroit?"
"I think the players who were involved in the brawl should be banned from the league. There are certain rules and regulations that should be abided by; and if there is inappropriate behavior, it should not be tolerated, and hopefully everyone will learn from it and move on."
– James Douglas, Walnut Lane
"There will have to be changes. I think that everyone has to reflect on what has happened. The fans have to take some responsibility and should watch how the conduct themselves during the game. The players will have to watch themselves regarding how they react to the fans."
– Travis Mussel, Walnut Lane
"You know, in the sports world that is just what happens. The fans are going to mess with the players, and they have to learn to take it. I figure that fouls are going to happen, and if he cannot take a little push, then maybe he should not be playing. I thought it was amusing."
– Maggie Breidenthal, Alexander Street
"I think it's disgusting that the players get carried away like that and go into the stands – that's an absolute no-no. The players think that they are too big for their britches. Maybe the fine was excessive, but it will carry a message, and the other guys will think twice before doing something like that. On the other hand, the fans have to be controlled, like the crack down years ago in Palmer Stadium after people threw bottles at each other."
– Ole Haroldson, Roper Road
"I think that that the penalties were correct though I think that the fans instigated it. The players are in the spotlight, so they should have maintained their composure and have backed off and let security handle it."
– Jordan Novak, Cherry Hill Road
