If you really want to see innocent people get hurt, make these players hold their frustration in until it really explodes.

In all seriousness, I think the fine is ridiculous. You can't try and make our sport more interesting to the spectator while at the same time trying to curb behavior that many spectators enjoy watching.

If someone gets hurt, then it becomes a different story. Just ask Tim Henman.

There is just too obvious a metaphor to make of this for even nelslus.....

Alternate post: I hear ya. Again, though, the argument is, why keep allowing something to go on if, odds are, someone will get hurt at some point in time? Still, other sports DO tolerate similar actions.....again, can't say that I'm gonna heatedly debate either side (and there goes ANOTHER potentially naugthy metaphor.....)
