Yeah, even in baseball or football where theres no rule allowing fighting its not as big of a deal. Sure theyll get ejected or suspended a game or 2 for a baseball brawl...but when its basketball players its a HUGE deal for some reason

Sure looks to me like the kid jawing with Tu put his hands on him first, and then Tu pushed him down.

Better watch the video again, Tu clearly raises his hand first and pokes him in the chest.

I'm with you 100%. Fights happen in other sports and it's no big deal. Fights happen in basketball and everyone is a "thug" for some reason. It's also usually just the black guys that get labeled as thugs.

Who gives a $hit? Are you trying to justify this? Tu should have stayed calmer, but he's hardly the guy to start the melee.

I am not justifying anything just pointing out who started it.

Looks to me like the kid from UC goes to raise his hands up to Tu, and Holloway pushes his him away.

And if it happened in a baseball brawl nobody would be crying for him to be suspended a full year. I mean shit, Pedro fucking hip tossed a 70 year old and nobody thought he shoudl be gone for a year lol

If Kenny Frease was bull-rushing Gates the situation would be a little different. It's not like Zimmer was just standing there and Pedro went out of his way to attack him. The dude charged him and Pedro gave him the bullfighter treatment.

Nobody cares about baseball brawls because they're pathetic. Nothing ever happens. Nobody was calling for anyone in this game to be suspended with the incident at the end of the 1st half, because all they did was get into each others faces, clear the benches, and talk shit. THAT is what baseball brawls are like.

Classless behavior by both teams. There should be a number of players supended after this: Gates, Mbodj (they guy who stomped Frease), Lyons, Holloway to start with and I am sure as they examine the tapes they will see more guys whose conduct warrant suspension.

70 yr old charged Pedro. Frease was in the middle trying to get his guy out of it.

And tu should be suspended too. But I don't think he started it.

I don't see tu getting suspended. He talked shit so what so he's going to get suspended bc the cinci players can't control there actions. It's a rivalry game just like when Boston and Woodson use to go at it but it's different because they didn't throw punches and start a brawl. Gates has been in trouble before so he will get quite a few games or even the season. Lyons should get a couple games also

Cronin did a pretty good job in his post game presser. Starts talking about the brawl around the 3:30 mark.
