[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 613611, member: 541271"] I know this was several pages back, but I feel I have to comment on it. First of all, it shouldn't have gotten out of hand, but it did. There wasn't one single person at fault, there were many. People hold these athletes to a higher standard because to most people they are heroes or whatever. They are no different than you and I, other than the fact that they make more money. Most of them were raised in a neighborhood similiar to everyone here, some of them didn't even have that. So with that being said, if someone threw a beer on you, would you let that slide? I for one wouldn't. A person can only take so much, he managed to hold himself back and stay cool when shit went down with Wallace, but the beer hitting him was the breaking point. He is human, and he reacted on instinct. Just because he makes 6 million dollars or so doesn't make him any different than you or I. [/QUOTE]
