A man has the right to be treated with dignity. Just because you are a basketball player and you make a lot of money, does not absolve them from being treated with dignity. If this was any other situation, Artest behavior would have been expected and understandable. But for some reason because they are professional basketball players, we expect them to behave differently than any other part of society. I am just surprised this has not happen more often than it did the other week.
If Artest would have seriously injured the individual, I bet any fan would think twice about throwing things at players during a basketball game. I guess the players are slaves and gladiators that deserve any type of treatment and the masters are suppose to do whatever they like because they pay money.
