Meanwhile we pay our teachers, doctors, and military jack shit and dont give them half the recognition that they deserve.
If I had it my way, any player that was involved in this brawl would be banned from the sport for life.
This kind of shit goes on and we cant put Pete Rose in the hall of fame because he gambled?
Professional sports stopped getting my money years ago and it doesnt seem like its coming back anytime soon.

You make a lot of good points MTC. I agree with most of what you say (underpaid teachers, , etc. Pete Rose). However, I can't say I agree with your statement about how the players involved in the brawl should be banned for life. Fined, suspended...yes.
But consider this:
Let's say you are at your job. For argument's sake, we'll say you work in an office setting. So, one day you are sitting at your desk...in the meantime, your company is giving a group of outsiders a tour of your company. In an inexplicable act, one of the guests throws his coffe at you. Are you just gonna sit there?
Maybe, maybe not. But, I would definitely see how you may want to go after that person and jack them up.
