Are you saying that I'm displaying a "Holier than thou" attitude because I don't agree with fans jumping onto the court in order to be apart of something that doesn't involve them? In other words, just to be part of the crowd? As for your hockey comparison, I'm sorry, how many times do fans poor on the ice so they can hit the player they don't like? Or just to be apart of something that got their adrenaline going so they can show how hard and tough they are? Do hockey fans have a habit of "keeping it real" when two players fight? Furthermore, fighting is <i>allowed</i> in hockey. It isn't in basketball. If this is the double-standard you are referring to, I don't know what to tell you other than the two aren't mutually exclusive. So wait.

Those same media voices applaud when adult, professional hockey players bloody one another in the hockey rink. Do I smell a double standard here? Is this the first fight at a school? Do they not fight in private schools? I am amazed at the ‘holier-than-thou” attitude displayed by the media.
