Ok, I admit I don't follow sports that closely (I'm a
fairweather/bandwagon/playoffs fan), but when did Ron Artest change his
name to Metta World Peace? How fucking gay is that?

But I see no reason he shouldn't have been taken out of the stadium in
handcuffs by the LAPD tonight.

that? I doubt he even knew who he hit with his elbow. It was a dumb
move, but I wouldn't call it criminal unless you classify it as some
type of negligence.

intentional. His innate thuggish instincts overwhelmed his "World Peace"
crap and multi-millionaire status, and he couldn't help himself. SOB.
Five games minimum. Maybe 10.
Harden got a concussion - brain damage. If he doesn't get a Nobel Prize
or at least presidency of Harvard after his career, he can sue World
Peace for damages.

completely separate from any context of the game being played. It's not
like it was a hard foul... or even a reaction to some basketball related
event.
Worst of all, it was a highly dangerous concussion/brain damaging causing
headshot. Harden could have permanent damage. He is a great guy who
didn't deserve to be victimized like that for no reason.
