I'm just sayin'...

Periodic attempts at humor and other observations. Sometimes I might digress into political rants and health related discussions/commentary.

Allen was recently fined by the NBA for shouting profanity back at some fans. Iverson claims that the fans were unruly and used racial slurs when directing their words toward him. The use of racial slurs has not been proven, but for the sake of argument let's say that the Indiana fans actually DID say those words. As wrong and despicable as the words are, Iverson should expect to hear something from the mouths of fans or opposing fans. Let's remember that Iverson is about to release an album full of less than desireable lyrics. Not having heard the music personally, I am speculating that Iverson's upcoming album release will have as much acclaim as Eminem's album. You reap what you sew. In this case, Iverson hasn't made any friends with his "music" so he should expect some amatuer critics spouting their opinions from the baseline bleacher seats. I believe in the First Amendment, but I also know that what is said can be met with resistance. This is a classic case of a young person not ready to accept the consequences of their actions. PS. Unruly fans should be removed from the stadium. ...or should they under the First Amendment?
