The league and the players union need to get together and suspend these guys without pay for the remainder of the season. The NBA should have put some mandatory suspension rule into effect after Vernon "Mad Max" Maxwell attacked that fan in Portland several years ago. They can beat the [censored] out of each other on the court, but a NBA player does not go into the stands after a fan. NO MATTER WHAT THE FAN SAYS OR THROWS! These guys have never been held accountable for thier behavior (All Pro sports). My wife works for a University Police Dept and even at the collegiate level the athletes get away with murder(DWI's, assaults ,rape, theft,etc.). And I'm not excusing the fan who threw the beer, he should have been arrested and banned from the facilty.
