Tom, I get where you're coming from, and I agree that they should be suspended, at least 10 games. And I get that as a professional athlete, cooler heads must prevail.
But c'mon, if someone just chucks you with a water bottle, I know most people would blow up at some of the things that fans SAY to opposing players.
Everyone's at fault here, not the players. But I hope the league doesn't come down too hard on the players and takes the actions of some classless fans into account.
