When a black guy Jackson knocked out a white guy he only got 30 games. Stevens did waaay less and got waaay more games.
You're talking about the pacers/pistons debacle in 2004, right?
A fan threw a beer at Jackson and he was defending himself (not saying what Jackson did was right).
This golden state investor was in the wrong. I'm not sure what the punishment should have been.
Artest was hit by the drink, Jackson knocked out a downed punk who was getting up. I agree with your last statement, just pointing out when the roles were reversed, Jackson got a much more lenient punishment than Stevens.

Where the fvk did the racial aspect come from??? that literally never crossed my mind
It’s hilarious you’re comparing the two because one was the most violent incident with fans ever and this incident was minor in that sense.
Only thing similar about the incidents is nba players stood together then and they stood together now against the fans/league whoever. Soon as all the nba players acted like they were going to fight each other and were separated....once that fan ignited the whole thing and threw that drink and Jackson and Artest ran into the stands....a lot of the Pistons players were jumping into their home crowd to try to break up the fight and get their fellow nba players out of those dangerous circumstances.
It was two nba players vs the entire away crowd.
The “The downed punk getting up” was hit by Jermaine O’Neal ON the court. Not Steven Jackson. The fans rushed the court what do you expect? Lmfao. “Downed punk getting up.” That fat ass dude shouldn’t have been trying to fight an NBA player on the court. Wtf
Again you don't have the intellect to understand the comparison. I'll take the time to spell it out for you. You just said it yourself "one was the most violent incident this incident was minor" yet the investor received a much more severe punishment than Jackson and O'Neal. The poster brought in race and I just pointed out when the roles were reversed even though the severity is no where near the same, the "white guy" received an unfair sentence. You cannot run to cold clock a "downed punk getting up" especially when there's security around. You could only use force when the punk is coming at you. O'Neal ran across the floor to knock him out, hardly fits the narrative of him being in a fight.
