When did it become OK for NBA fans to act like bigots and hooligans?
Did everyone spend the pandemic watching videos of Chelsea soccer fans throwing coins or Philadelphia Eagles fans throwing beer bottles? Is everyone so crazed after being cooped up for 16 months that it suddenly seems all right to express yourself and support your team by assaulting a professional basketball player or his family?
Incidents across the NBA during the past few days really have to make you wonder just how much freedom fans should be given in a game where there is really little physical separation between them and the players on the court.
