Antonio Davis incident...

judge-mental · 01-20-2006, 06:44 AM

can anybody PLEASE tell me why he was suspended? please?

this is an outrage.

To prove a point. The league will not tolerate players going into the stands for any reason, especially after what happened last year. You should have known it was going to happen.

The guy bothering his wife is gonna sue! Sniveling little SOB.

I wish we didn't live in such a litigious society:

"The big NBA player said swear words and called me a drunk so I'm suing for a million dollars."

I have been lucky enough to have sat in the stands at a few sporting events next to a players wife/girlfriend. The first thing you notice is they are generally hot. they love attention, usually they tell you who they are dating. They can be very vocal fans. The reports say she was annoying the guy by standing up and shouting for the Knicks. The section was mostly Chicago fans. Davis used to play there so, I am going to guess that his wife had the same seats that the players wives usually get.

Davis is the president of NBAPA so he had to know the rules. He has every right to protect his family, that is part of being a man. A man also has to take the consequences of his actions.

There is no way this fan is going to get dollar one in a law suit. Just read the back of your ticket stub. It contains a major waiver for this type of thing. Unless he can convince the court that this incident caused either his person or his reputation valuable and irreprable harm! ( doubt it)

I am here in the Chi, and everybody is like he did the right thing. SHeit, if i was him and i saw him touch my wife, it would have been on, he would have gotten ass whippin he would have never forgotten. But thats why I am not NBA player, who can afford a 700k loss like that.

Didn't the guy put his hands on Davis's wife?

Yeah, it was said that he pushed/grabbed her hand to move it away from his face.

Yeah he should've been suspended but I wouldn't fault him for going into the stands... We all know how are protective of our loved ones...

LuckyBoy · 01-20-2006, 03:40 PM

see, i understand that players cannot go into the stands so a fine could have been given but he went up the stairs very calmly and seemed to handle the situation as well as he could've seeing his wife in danger as he mentioned. 5 games seems a bit extensive but if youre trying to nail home the point of no means no then you gotta do what you gotta do.

Typical. Someone gets in an argument with your wife and you want to swing on him before you even know who's in the right. She was being loud and obnoxious and he told her to zip it, so she started waving her finger in his face. He had every right to remove her finger from his face. If my wife was doing that I'd tell her to chill out, and apologize to the guy.

You goddamn right i would of swinged on the guy, I ride with my wife right or wrong, She was not touching him hands in face does not constitute touching. And obviously you have not been married or have a girlfriend you give a **** about because you dont reprimand or apologize for your wife, youll be sleeping on the couch for awhile with no lovin. Now after he got his ass whippen and me and my wife talked later and she was in the wrong then I would have let her have it, but you NEVER side with anybody in public besides your wife.

Yep. When I used to bounce, I dealt with a number of women who think they can get all up in a guys face because most guys( myself included) would never lay a hand on a woman. Now on the other hand, if a girl sticks her hand in my face, chances are I would push it out of my face too. This guy isn't in it for the dough. It was just reported that his lawyer offered to settle the suit if davis would make a statement to the fact that he wasn't drunk, as well as make a donation to any charity that deals with anger management issues or some b.s.

I've defended my wife on a number of occasions and would never tolerate a man placing his hands on her. I also would never tolerate my wife physically provoking a man(which getting in someone's face is. If some DUDE sticks his hand in my face and gets up in my grill, he's getting blasted). But then my wife has enough class that she doesn't handle herself like that. If a guy becomes physically agressive, that's one thing but she's mature enough to handle herself like a lady otherwise.

Apowerz6 · 01-20-2006, 06:11 PM

I agree one has to be classy,but would you rip her a new one in public, or make her apologize to the guy? Thats just not something I would do, or condone siding with another besides your wife is just not right to me. Plus who is this guy to tell her to zip it. Respect is all, you are at a game for ****s sake cheering your team on, and it jsut so happened to be the opposing team. Was she throwing beer, cussing loudly, or degrading people? so what right does he have to tell her to be quiet, thats like telling a friend of a competitior to shut up at a Bodybuilding comp, that **** aint going to happen, and when it does the guy cheering usually makes the person who said shut up feel pretty sorry, at least thats how i seen it.

natedogg · 01-20-2006, 06:32 PM

I think Davis handled it the absolute right way.

**mmorpheuss** · 01-20-2006, 06:40 PM

I've been in the same arena with Kendra Davis many a times, and I will tell you that she has got to be one of the biggest **** talking trifling azz flat out confrontational wives in pro sports. period.

Davis should have put that woman in check long ago. Most players wives conduct themselves in some sort of civil fashion but Kendra gets out of control like its all about her.

Antonio Davis knows what his wife is all about, acting surprised that his wife is meleeing with someone in the stands is just a joke. He should have seen this coming and stopped it before it ever started.

Leave that
