Ok, as many of you know I'm not a sports fan. I watch the occasional football game and I enjoy watching hockey but I don't get the chance to watch many games. I did happen to watch the news and see the reaction Bradley had to having a water bottle thrown at him during a game. You would pretty much have to be a glutton for punishment to pick up the bottle, go up to the fan and throw it back at him but that is exactly what the Dodgers outfielder did. Considering the fact that he has been ejected from 4 other games this season I feel that the fine/suspension for the rest of the season is the perfect thing to do. He has said that he will "seek help to deal with his anger and wouldn't appeal the suspension." My main question is what ever happened to letting things slide off your back? Have we become such a vindictive society that we feel we have to get back at everyone that has ever wronged us? I am glad that he is going to get help but don't you think it's a little late when he is throwing stuff back at fans?
By the way, the fan who allegedly threw the bottle, Mario Garcia, was arrested and charged with "throwing an object on the field with the intent to interfere with play or distract a player." Is this an actual law on the books or is this just another LAPD way of arrested one person and not the other? Why was Bradley not charged with throwing an object at a fan with the intent to piss off or damage a person? Hey, if the police can make up charges why can't I?
