I agree with you completely. Unless you're a minority who has experienced prejudice or racism you should refrain from commenting on Hilton's actions. I hear excuses that the fan was drunk and his team just lost to a rival team (at home), yet the victim is ridiculed for not taking the high road. Some of you people are unbelievable.

I guess he should be allowed to run up into the stands and beat him up too?

Laughable! Good comparison.

Another reason why I dislike West Virginia Bball.

But Hilton had no right to do that.

Just ignore them. When you make the NBA there will be worst comments than that from fans and such.

I'm not saying he didn't have the right to do it, I'm just saying he shouldn't have done it. You are playing on a national scale Div 1 bball, you can't do stuff like that on national TV.

Not like a certain college athlete dropping an F bomb while being interviewed on national tv, and people coming here and saying how hilarious it was? Where was the outrage!?

I didn't know that, who was it?

I'm not going to get into the racial part of this because it's against the TOS, but to say you have to be a minority to have an opinion on a man who told the WVU crowd to "**** off" basically, it's plain dumb.

I watched a clip of when the Maryland fans said things about Redick's 12 year old sister...now that's more of being a victim than Hilton ever was. Notice how JJ never gave UMD fans the bird when they were chanting things directly about him. It's called composure, something Armstrong didn't have yesterday.

In your opinion. That's exactly my point. Someone making up something about me, my sister, my brother, or my mom does not offend me. It's like your "yo momma" jokes. Would I be offended if someone said to me - Your momma's teeth are so yellow I can't believe it's not butter! -? No, because it's made up. An untruth.

I'll be honest, I can't remember the athlete's name. Somebody help me out. It was after a last second win in football.
