WWF (or the NBA)

This NBA fight drama is pissing me off. If someone throws a drink at me, at any place or time, I might approach the offender, but have no intention on physical abuse. I cannot take up for Artest. Yes, it was wrong for the fan to throw the cup, but civility dictates conflict not a melee. On the other side, who in their right mind would not run away when 2 or 3 oversized, weightlifting, pissed off, reactionary freaks were making their way through the stands. What possessed anyone besides those trying to protect the poor fellow that did nothing but look like the guy who threw the cup, to enter into that brawl? This is the reason I refuse to watch the freak show that is now the NBA. Give me college basketball. While it too is imperfect, it hass yet to reach the WWF like quality to which the NBA has dropped.
