Asshole.
The gentleman who started the riot at the Auburn Hills Palace by throwing a cup of beer at Pacer Ron Artest has been identified.
John Green, of West Bloomfield, initially said he had no comment to Local 4. Green was caught on tape throwing his cup of beer onto Indiana Pacers player Ron Artest, Local 4 reported. The act sent Artest into a rage in the stands, where players and fans then fought during the game between the Pistons and the Pacers.
Green eventually commented to Local 4 Monday morning outside his West Bloomfield home, saying, “I’m not going anywhere. The police know where I live. I’ve talked to them already.”
What kills me is that this guy hasn’t been charged with something along the lines of affray, where as all the players involved are set to be warming benches all season. As a country we need to get over our undying love affair with professional sports and realize these cats are just people. Many of them stupid people with poor impulse control. The next person I hear say that sports figures are supposed to be role models for children is having their parenting license revoked. And then I’m sending George the Animal Steele over for lunch.
