Fight Club

Before we see the NBAs response to the unacceptible performance in Detroit last night, I guarentee that they will fine and suspend the wrong perpetrators in the brawl. Artest is a flake, but paying $ to see an event does not entitle the fanatic to become part of the action. Ever ! $ cause tension. big $ cause big tension, especially when $ are tight. Oh, excuse me - the economy is good. Yeah, right. It is good for NBA athletes. And fan's lawyers.
My question is - Can people work out there differences in a controlled violent forum that allows the pressure venting in a societally acceptible form? Most people like violence - allowing the politically correct to ban violence just makes the violence criminal. If physical violence were at least tolerated, people would learn to protect themselves better. Maybe we need to re-invent personal boxing - as a relief valve. (It might have the side effect of creating more wit, if what you say can get your clock cleaned for saying it.)
