Good article, 2 points of interest.. (#8)

Well written article, though it would be safe to say that Ron Artest's behavior was focused on primarily because he attacked fans of the game.  I don't recall seeing TO, Moss, or Williams ever jumping into the stands and punching a spectator in the face.  Furthermore, I find the use of players with tattoos as offensive.  Last time I checked, it wasn't illegal or offensive, but merely a sign of changing times.  Other than that, welcome to SportsColumn.

True (#9)

Yes, I do not condone what Artest did. In fact, I thought the long suspension was lenient, and that Jackson should have been suspended for the entire season as well. No, that is not likely to happen in the NFL, although it has occurred in MLB. But again, outside of Artest, who is in the NBA rivals the antics of Owens, Moss, Williams, etc? I just think, although the NFL shenanigans are publicized, we come down harder on the NBA.

Thanks for the welcome wishes.
