That is interesting. How many fights happen during NBA games with fans and players? You know with all the rampant fighting, I really do not know how the league functions.

Just look at the numbers and its NOT functioning very well at the time. Their TV numbers are way down, and a lot of it has to do with the attitudes of the players.

A lot more of the taunting and bickering with the fans goes on than is put on TV because they want to "try" and keep the "image" of the players looking good so they league with prosper.

The number of fights in an NBA game were up I believe it was reported 35% last year.

So, yes it is a big problem and its a lot easier to pick on someone in the stands than to pick on someone your own size. Funny we don't see Shaq getting in many fights.

Thanks
David
