This won't go away soon. The images are too compelling, and ESPN had about two dozen cameras in The Palace that night (or so it seems).
The alleged cup full o' beer perpetrator, some slapdick named John Green, showed up on Larry King tonight accompanied by his lawyer, Doogie Howser. This was bad for several reasons:
1) It bumped Bill Maher back 10 minutes
2) These guys did NOTHING to help Green's defense. Green came off as a cocky arrogant prick who thought that he...um, whoever threw that cup...wasn't in the wrong. He spewed forth canned lines such as (paraphrasing) "You can't punish everyone who threw things, etc." Doogie didn't do him any favors, saying that, as a citizen, he believes cup throwing is wrong, but as a lawyer, he can't say that. Kids, you too can be a public defender.
Remember, Artest had no business going into the crowd over a plastic cup. That doesn't excuse Green from ALLEGEDLY throwing it either.
Tony Kornheiser gets it right. Jason Whitlock doesn't. Surprise!!
Mr. Whitlock, just because a black person is involved in a controversial issue doesn't necessarily mean that race is involved.
