Hell, I say bah on all parties. Fans need to realize that buying a ticket doesn't give you the right to wild up on people. Boo, fine. But don't go there with throwing isht at players.
I've been listening to Jim Rome quite a bit on this. JR is my all-time favorite sports talk radio host, and has made some good points. He says this is a symbol of disconnect between fans and players.
Jim is white and he said, "if you don't think race had something to do with this, you are naive." He's on to something. A few years ago, I read an article on Black Electorate.com that talked about resentment of athletes such as Allen Iverson and Barry Bonds, because AI and BB didn't seem like they were, err, gracious.
