Not to say that Cobb wasn't wealthy but at the times of doing what he did fighting (with fans) was common and not like it was EVER in the NBgay. Hitting women (though not saying he get's a pass) was quite common and a hell of a lot less looked down upon then.

Artest is considered a nut job because he went into the stands and beat a fan up. Cobb went into the stands and beat a veteran with no hands.
Cobb was fairly well off in 1919, when he savagely beat and hospitalized a woman for talking back to him.
I mean, you're right, things were different back then, but when people say he wasn't a violent, racist thug and a disciple human being they should probably take a look at what he has done.
