How many games should he get for pushing a fan? I wouldn't call it "classless" as much as I would an
emotionally-charged reaction. It was the final 10 seconds of a close game after all. Bottom line is some fans
are a-holes and some players just aren't built with shields of armor where they never react like Jackie
Robinson (not trying to say the one fan's trash-talk was anywhere near Robinson's career of racial slurs). I'd
give Smart the week off. The whole Oklahoma State team is kind of turning dysfunctional and everybody
needs a mini-break from being on ESPN constantly. NOW, for the part nobody else will be talking about
until the initial wave of twitter-reaction-resulting-in-depressingly-racial-Deadspin-article is over.

Hmmm... Texas Tech fan who pushed Smart is apparently known for douchebaggery. Not saying this
justifies pushing a fan but eventually the dude is asking for it. Once again, this will be blown out of
proportion because black man pushes white man in Texas. Any person over the age of 22 who yells at a
college athlete has problems. Period. That said, a punishment is obviously rightfully coming for Marcus
Smart. There's a lot to dissect with this story and news outlets will have a field day with this all the way into
March Madness.
