I applaud the fan for standing his ground vs. Smart

What was really said to Smart? Who are you getting what was said from?

The fan called Smart "a piece of crap" lol.

I mean, really? THAT is what pissed him off lol?

What Smart did was wrong but where are you getting that is what the fan said?

Orr claims he called him a piece of crap and there's supposed footage someone recorded with a GoPro that catches it.

Oh Orr claimed it and Smart claimed something else, so I see most are agreeing with Orr, LOL and SMH.

That GoPro recording will be on ESPN soon then, right?

You can clearly hear the guy say "piece of crap." That's about the only intelligible thing in that clip.

Ron Artest can testify them fans deserve to be roughed up. There is no proof, hell I may use this excuse at work, "Someone called me a racial slur". No proof than why are we giving Smart any slack for his actions? So any black guy assults a white guy, it was because that white guy was racist?

I agree with a lot of both sides. I think you are complete asshole if you go to college basketball games and heckle the players, just like Grizz said, but I support a person's right to be a complete asshole as it is protected by our first amendment. I also think that Smart was completely in the wrong by pushing the man. I don't care what he said, you don't have the right to shove him. Like I said earlier, if it were the other way around, Orr would be in jail. I agree with Da Stars about the "sticks and stones" rule, especially at a sporting event. Still doesn't make Orr any less of an asshole, though. I agree with Smelters that he's a POS for developing the hobby of taunting college athletes.

It would not surprise me at all if Orr did call him a n*****. Of course he'd deny being a racist, not wanting it to hurt his career or social status. But like I said before, it doesn't excuse Smart's actions.

What I find most funny is the level of tolerance everyone would have at being called out of their name or having their family name dragged through the mud. Non of you would respond with a push to someone? Or is it because it is a "big black guy" that the problem lies
