In all my years as an avid sports fan, I have been exposed to a number of
extraor-dinary events. However, over the last year, a certain trend has not only questioned my responsibilities as a sports enthusiast, but also my rights as a paying spectator of these enthralling events. The recent escalation of fan-player interaction and violence has made me reevaluate what purpose I serve for the athletes and that which they serve for t

my lifetime I have playedmany organized sports games in fairly hostile
environments, but seldom have I even been tempted to respond to taunts and
cheers from the audience. So in light of recent events, I am left only to wonder: at
what point do athletes feel the need to, or have the right to retaliate against these

Last November, late on a Saturday night that had started off just like any other, I happened to glance at a television and my face lit up when I saw that, in the middle of a party, someone had tuned into my favorite channel, ESPN.

to think any performer would stand passively by as he is physically abused by his
