This is horrendous, and I have watched my last NBA game unless this is handled differently by Stern. Players must be able to defend themselves when assaulted by fans. They are now sitting ducks. Drunk, hoodlum fans can do whatever they want to opposing players with no recourse. Stern should be removed for this decision. The fans now run the sport. :45 second left on the clock, and your team is losing, create chaos, and the game will be called off. Great decision, Stern, you jackass.

I'm not against alcohol - I enjoy a drink or two. However, I think that alcohol sales should be banned at games, concerts, etc. I attended a concert a couple of months ago that was almost ruined by a drunk who wouldn't shut up. I go to a concert, game, whatever to enjoy the event itself. I don't need booze to heighten that experience. I know, I know there are those who say why should everyone be punished just because someone can't behave when they drink. But my point is that one or two drunks can ruin the experience for the whole audience.
