If a racial slur was thrown, let administration deal with it. There is no excuse for a player going into the stands and assaulting a fan.

What? Race card?

There are not many things in life people react that way to. And if he went to the guy that said something to him, then there you go.

But it is also those that would say those kinds of things, do not want to publicly be known as a racist. One of the biggest things I notice amongst a certain group of people is they cannot stand to be called that even when they have used or said things inapproriate. Just look at our politics and the things said about our President, and the people that made the specific comments that clearly have a history run from the claim of being called a racist. Even if it was clearly on tape he likely would have ran from it as people around him might have not dealt with him in the same way. He has a lot to lose. And I love how being called something makes that person playing a "card." It would be no different if he was called a "Piece of s h i t," that is sitll very inapproprate, but does not have any other implications.

Sorry, I do not believe the "fan." I think he said something or he knows who said it and does not want to be associated with that label more than anything.

Peace
