I don't think you should be touching anyone. There are obviously also some limits, e.g. racial stuff, motherfucking a guy. But these pussies just don't want to be yelled at.

It sounds like some threat to his family was made. No athlete gets paid enough to just "take it" when dumb shit like that is said. No fan pays enough for a ticket to say it.

There are MANY times that I think today's players are too sensitive. This isn't one of those times.

We don't know what was said. But unless he was making a threat, the fan shouldn't be removed or even admonished. I don't think swearing in Spanish is the same as motherfucking a guy in English either. Most people in the crowd have no idea about foreign swear words. And hell, the entire ballpark was chanting "FUCK ALTUVE!" last night.

This is the NBAification of MLB.

We need to go back to the days when Ty Cobb stabbed a cripple and nobody said boo.

I think the guy he stabbed was not disabled in any way (well, at least prior to the stabbing).

The disabled guy Cobb felt the need to just beat up with his fists.

Those may be apocryphal tales. But it's a fact that Li'l Rastus slept under Cobb's bed.

I don't really trust the word of Contreras. I've seen him act like an emotional child too many times.
