abuck, did you see this one?

yes, I had a minor heart attack seeing it live. for a second I thought maybe it was actually a foul.

 

it's amazing he still gets calls. I mean everyone knows he does it right? when you put "marcus smart" in google, "marcus smart flop" is the second suggestion.

Yes, Marcus Smart is the douche/piece of garbage.

 

@ryaber: Sure this has been said but OSU radio said immediately after the incident that Smart told the OSU coaches that the fan said THE word

 

If true, the fan deserved far worse.

oh nevermind he's a great guy

 

That's right, there's no in between.

that's right, there can only be one person in the wrong and it was clearly the fan so the end.

 

both smart and the fan can be a douche. i'll estimate an idiot fan has hurled racist slurs at black athletes oh maybe 27 million times in history. amazingly very few have gone into the stands to assault the idiot fan. so yeah, what smart did was stupid, regardless of what the guy said.

Smart had already fallen in the front row when the fan started talking, this wasn't a Ron Artest running into the stands situation. If more of those athletes were 6" from the fan saying the racial slur, they'd have done what Marcus Smart did or worse.

 

Why is the burden of self control on the 19-year old and not the 50-year old bigot? I mean, sure, it would have been helpful for his team if he didn't shove the guy, but his reaction wasn't ridiculous or out of line and I wouldn't consider it douche-like.

 

(Again, all this only if the fan used a racial slur. If he's using garden variety trash talk, Smart's reaction was horrible.)

If the fan dropped the N bomb he should be banned from attending games. Smart should be suspended for shoving a fan. Both were stupid but Smart was more stupid because he's got millions on the line.

Yeah, it doesn't really matter what the fan said. Smart has to be suspended. Missouri fans chanted stuff at Thomas Robinson about his mom dying. You can't go in the crowd and start [expletive] people up, no matter how much you want to.

 

However, if there were racial things said, the fan should also be banned, as Smack said.

 

I do feel like fans have a more exaggerated sense of entitlement these days. Purchasing a ticket shouldn't be a free pass to be as horrible a person as you want with no consequences. I bet it's even worse in college since the tickets are cheaper, and many universities are in backwoods dumps like Lubbock where probably 90% of the residents are racists.

"both were stupid", yeah, sure. smart is a kid, and a black kid. what a bunch of [expletive] white racist [expletive], [expletive] off.

As opposed to...when?

 

It honestly seems like being a horrible, horrible fan is a time honored tradition, especially when it comes to screaming racial stuff.

I dunno, I hear a lot more, "I paid for my ticket, I can do what I want" nonsense now than I ever recall hearing when I was younger. Maybe was just less aware or it received less coverage or blah blah blah. Either way, whether it's gotten worse or not isn't really the point. The point it that buying a ticket isn't a free pass to comport yourself like a p.o.s. Unfortunately, a lot of fans don't feel that way.
