Angels 3B Anthony Rendon assaults an A's fan

[Shoeless Moe]

dude called him a bitch and got called on it

no damage done

case closed

[packs]

Just a really lame thing for him to do. Especially for a guy who gets hurt every year. Anything could have happened to Rendon after he chose to put his hands on that fan and the fan would have been in the right. No reason to create that situation.

Rendon suspended for 5 games.

Not justifying Rendon's conduct, but I am amazed at the number of men now who buy tickets to games and get as close to possible to players so they can to scream vile stuff at them. Really a huge problem with the NBA. What kind of grown man with a shred of decency and self-respect starts cussing out players, making comments about their ex-wife's and mother's sex lives, and screams such things in front of children? I mean c'mon. In the NBA there is going to be bad scenes eventually, as the fans are just too close to the players. Seems like a daily event now judging from clips I see on twitter. I'm not talking about the classic 'Hey so and so, you suck" "nice miss", "your a loser" etc. kinds of stuff that people have said forever. I'm talking the real vile stuff that is said deliberateluy trying to trigger a confrontation and someone's 15 minutes of fame. I mean anyone who needs to resort to insults about whose girlfiend or ex girlfiend or mother was performing which sex act on who should really be talking to a therapist or spiritual advisor of some kind and getting help. I'm embarassed for these people but they couldn't care less.

I'm okay with the tackle.

Fans need to stay off the field.

I agree. Just funny how things usually takes time to “investigate” and then time to “appeal” and then time to reduce sentence.

This seemed like it happened in same business day.

But since the player and the team wanted to bury this fast it was made easy
