Back in Time

A little over four years ago, NBA basketball teams Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons were involved in an altercation dubbed the Malice at the Palace. This was a very serious situation that could have been avoided. As a country here we are 4 years later and in a College game in Providence, the brother of a college player makes his way onto the court with relative ease to confront the referees about what he deemed to be a foul that deserved more severe punishment.

I understand the need for an older brother to protect his younger brother, but this situation could have turned out just as bad as the incident back in the Detroit. It is very interesting that arenas sanctioned by the NCAA to be used for College Basketball games have not increased security to the point where this can't happen. Colleges and Universities enjoy large revenue streams and need to be held accountable. We demand college and professional athletes play hard and perform, it is time we demand better security for all parties involved, including fans.
