and no, they don't have to suspend the fans, they can ban the asshole that threw the beer, and just not punish the players, because those idiots deserved it.

Just because the fan deserves to be punished doesn't mean the players don't as well. That's what I've been saying all along.

Wallace thru a towel at Artest while he was laying on the scorers table
Fans start throwing items after seening wallace throw the towel
All hell breaks loose.
And there is no reason that professional athletes should have to take the BS from fans. Professional athletes arent some freaks in a circus who are to be abused as seen fit by fans. They are there to perform the game not dodge bottles and cups.
How would you all react if you were at your place of work and people just started throwing soda, bottles and chairs at you?

How can you sit there and state Wallace is not to blame?
What he did escalated the situation?
As soon as the beer was thrown it was on like Donkey Kong.
