Comments on: Son of Democratic Consultant to Sue NBA Player http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2006/01/19/son-of-democratic-consultant-to-sue-nba-player/ Free Minds, Free Markets, Free Booze Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:33:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: C-Dogg http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2006/01/19/son-of-democratic-consultant-to-sue-nba-player/#comment-5107 C-Dogg Tue, 24 Jan 2006 23:19:44 +0000 http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2006/01/19/son-of-democratic-consultant-to-sue-nba-player/#comment-5107 Couple of things. First of all the fan dropped the lawsuit recently, too bad. Secondly from all video and eyewitness accounts, Axlerod was not cursing or being overly antagonistic when Kendra got up out of her seat and "assualted" him. She actually went after another fan as well during this time. Third, yes - this loudmouth bimbo Kendra does have a history of incidents like this. Latrell Spreewell once got caught by the cameras with an audible "suck my d***" to her while grabbing his crotch, being the most notable. Finally, it's one thing to pop a 6', 200lb Gary Sheffield in the mouth while in Boston. It's a whole different game to pop a 6'9", 260lb monster as he runs to the "aid" of his wife in Chicago. Add this to the fact that Davis was actually popular with the Chicago Bulls fans as he played there and didn't want to leave as part of the Eddy Curry trade. But I agree with Nathanial. The suspension should have been a minimum of 10 games. Just because Davis has a loud mouth wife who likes to start crap with the opposing teams fans doesn't excuse the fact that he made a mistake when he choose to marry the loud mout... I mean, go into the stands. Couple of things.

Finally, it’s one thing to pop a 6′, 200lb Gary Sheffield in the mouth while in Boston. It’s a whole different game to pop a 6′9″, 260lb monster as he runs to the “aid” of his wife in Chicago. Add this to the fact that Davis was actually popular with the Chicago Bulls fans as he played there and didn’t want to leave as part of the Eddy Curry trade.

He claimed that he saw his wife being pushed, etc, yet as you watch him go into the stands he sort of jogs over there. If I really thought by wife was in danger I would have sprinted up there. He had all the time he needed to go get security. Furthermore in my experience at indoor sporting events security is pretty quick to get to scenes of confrontations especially in the good seats where there are tons of security around to keep people from sneaking in. Personally I think he should have gotten more then a 5 games. I am frankly shocked some drunk didn't take a swing at him on his way. Only bad things can happen if you go into the stands. If he would have saw his wife getting hit, I might have more sympathy from him, but from his not too urgent reaction I am going to say that is not what he saw.

Suing for a mil is still fishy though. Kendra Davis actually does have a history of getting into it with opposing teams fans. Suing for a mil is still fishy though.
