Storming the court/rushing the field

[justgladtobehere]

Two or three good clotheslines by security.

The networks that are in high dudgeon could maybe stop showing replays of court stormings (unless it is a newsworthy situation like today.)

Ok, how does it stop? You arrest everyone who goes on the court? Either you need 50 cops at every Top 25 road game (plus random rivalries) or you spend weeks combing over ESPN footage to ID suspects. Mob psychology is scary but it's real.

Forfeit for the first court storm. Disqualified from the conference tournament for the second one. Disqualified from the NCAA Tournament for the third one.

Detroit Mercy back in shambles.

Now that I think of it, I believe Mike Curtis had the right answer.

Detroit Mercy back in shambles.

Yeah, that one-game winning streak had me believing Mike Davis had turned things around.

Let kids have fun. This is old man screaming at clouds stuff.

Until someone gets killed. Or until an NBA lottery pick blows his knee out. Sure, let them have fun.

I'm young enough to have court stormed. It was fun. But it's different now. It's not unique or special if people are doing it after regular season conference games. Who forking cares if you're Wake Forest and have never been to a Final Four. You're still an ACC school. Act like it. And everyone wants to have their viral moment in the court storm. Dumb forks were taunting Filipowski just before he got hurt. The thing that'll probably put an end to this is a star player clocking the fork out of someone and starting a riot. And he'll be justified.

Or, a star player getting his knee blown out by getting bum-rushed by frat geeks and suing their candy-ash school for the NBA millions he lost

If everyone gets participation trophies, then there is nothing wrong with participation storming.
If news outlets don't cover the court storming, it might cost some student a chance to storm.

People arguing this has been happening for decades and nothing like this has happened are missing the point: Something like that happening is WAY overdue.

One person running on the field...oooh can't show that on TV

Thousands storming the field...YAY TV
