I just believe that these athletes who continue to display idiotic choices should not be coddled. There is no room in my world of sympathy for some one who can't handle earning millions of dollars and then has other people make excuses for him. Wo are living in a world where people live on the streets to survive, children are left to fend for them selves when parents disappear for days and the maturity of us are living from paycheck to paycheck There is no higher pressure than the one that hov ers and bogs the question. "Can I make it through another month?" This financial question only relates to those who bust their butts nine hours a day for minimal pay and credit just to make ends moot So don't whine to me about needing cocaine because my sympathy goes out to those struggling in the real world, not in fantasy land. Kris Henry is a sports reporter for the Kmerald MAXWELL Continued from Page 5 fan in his JO years with tho league In March 1991, Charles Barkley was fine<i $10,000 and suspended for a game for spit ting on fans. His target was a hot klor, hut he hit an H-y ear old girl instead M.iswell has a history of trou ble Since 1993, he's been arrest - ed twice for altercations in night clubs l ast year, he paid a $15,000 fine for illegally carry ing a gun in his car Cameraman Girl Wikman said Ins tape clearly shows Maxw ell going into the crowd and strik ing George. The incident occurred during a timeout with 3:33 left in the third period and Portland lead ing the Rockets 79-52. The sec tion of fans beneath the back Ixjard next to the Houston Ixuu.h had been riding Maxwell all night, and the temperamental guard had returned tho taunts with obscenities, Wikman said. “He's known as a hothead, and he gets it everywhere he goes." George said "He blew a gasket Th.", were down by .10 He wasn't happy He was having a bad night and he lost it." When Maxwell headed into the stands, teammate Robert Horry and assistant coach Larry Smith followed him "Maxwell does hit the guy first," Wikman said At that point, the guy's brother shoves Maxwell back Then Horry comes between the two and it looks like he gets shoved Maxwell is the only one who threw a punc h and tt was a def inite punch." Wikman, whose camera posi tion on the floor was just a lew feet from the end of the Houston bench, said his videotape also picked up Maxwell shouting obscenities at the c rowd during the second quarter and at a teammate who tried to culm him down. Later, Wikman said, a man with his young son asked Maxwell to cut down on the cursing boc ause the boy was there, and Maxwell responded with morn obscenities and told the man to move to a higher sent tf he didn't want to hear it. Maxwell. Horry ami Smith ail were ejected by officials. Wikman said the tape shows a sei untv guard standing nearby made no attempt to slop either Houston player as they climbed the steps. Before George was advised by his attorney not to talk to reporters, he spoke at length about the Incident. He said the heckling was fieirig done by the entire section. file Rockets' Mario Kite said players have to expect those type of reactions from the crowd "You hear her klers at all are nas," he said. "That's how it is You deal with it That's part of the game They pay their ticket, they get a little drunk, they say something rude, but you've got to go beyond that " •A**** A* A ***-**■*• 'WUMSfOAMT^ Sm STREET Q PUBLIC MARKET I VIDEO ^cames 683-8464 M VIPtO APVOfTUK < VAlLtY RfVia Pi A2A 15% I Student Discount IHOP 355 E Broadway only 345-9976 Must present student I D Not valid with other discounts Valid tor I D holder only Advertise in Classifieds! 346-4141
