In light of the recent MSG hoopla, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any recent fights in other sports so that we could compare how much they're punished for a similar incident. It seems like a comparable scuffle in football would be a 15 yard penalty and in baseball maybe a game suspension. (?) But thats my question really, I'm not sure.
I guess it has to be done if the goal is to completely eliminate NBA brawls. But the whole NBA media blitzkrieg about how evil Isaiah is for maybe ordering a hard foul seems a bit much, 10 or 15 years ago a hard purpose foul wasn't even a big deal.
So if I've got this right for the nuggets, they lose their best guy for 1/6 of the season, and he loses 1/6 of his pay. Then they lose another starter for 1/8 of the season. And of course the other guys involved on both teams as well. Seems a bit much for a little pushing and snarling and a couple weak hits.
Here's something funny if you're mad at Thomas and want some justice:
See the funny part, "most loved superstars" my $#*!, nobody liked Zeke. But its not like he invented the concept of the payback foul, he's just clinging to it a little too long for today's league to stand.
