OSU's Marcus Smart deserves the three game suspension he got for pushing a Texas Tech fan, but the bigger problem, in my opinion, is fans acting like jerks at athletic events, insulting the athletes.
Here's what you had to say...
Quinnton first:
"I rarely agree with you on these, but you hit the nail on the head with this one."
Thanks, I think.
Catherine writes:
"As usual, Kelly, you bring common sense to this fiasco. Jeff Orr is a middle aged bully who probably couldn't run the length of the court!"
Marie writes:
"..adults seem to become public Jr Hi brats at sporting events. I can't imagine what their family's life is like."
From Neal:
"It's very difficult not to get emotional during a tough game and some wannabe is in your face."
But Kristi asks:
"Has Smart had ANY discipline at all while at OSU?
Ridiculously spoiled and undisciplined."
Keith writes:
"..you said it well and you would have said the same if it had been an OU player as well... way to stay fair.. thanks Kelly."
Sonya says:
"Not only the athlete but their parents as well listening to adults calling their kid names."
Matt says of over zealous fans:
"It sure shows a lack of class when you start harassing the players."
And finally, I like this from Charlie:
"There is a fine line between cheering for your team and being a bully.
As an adult I am gonna stand with Marcus and other collegiate kids as if they are my own!"
