When is the NBA going to crackdown on that unruly mob that goes to the Amway Center, is what I want to know.

Apparently, the father of Celtic Marquis Daniels was "causing" enough of  "a disturbance" at Tuesday night's game that the local police found it necessary to remove him from the arena, take him to a secure room, attempt to handcuff him, and, of course, deploy their Tasers. It should be noted that hardly anyone noticed the original "disturbance" that precipitated the descent of law enforcement.

Elsewhere in the building, of course, there was this moneyed cluck, who rises from his seat, gets right in the referee's face, and tells him that he sucks at a volume that the referee, inexcusably, tosses the ball at him. Were I the board of directors of Wyndham Vacation Ownership, I might want to inquire what, if anything, and how much of it, my CEO had ingested prior to making a public jackass of himself on national television and, subsequently, all over the international Intertoobz. I would also point out that, while Daniels's father is an authentically bad actor -- and wasn't it a little miracle how fast his criminal record got itself released --  he wasn't doing anything more than Franz Hanning was, but he gets hauled away and tased while, for disrupting the actual referees in the actual game, Franz gets "escorted" to another seat in the arena, and the referee will probably get in trouble.

It is uncivil, of course, to speculate about the relative motives in the two cases here, so we won't.

UPDATE -- Remarkably, this came up on the Felger & Mazz Radio Program yesterday, where everyone involved found it quite hilarious. This was especially the case with the producer, who heard a cue to trot out the famous "Don't Tase me, bro" soundclip, complete with the subject's scream, which occasioned much giggling and laughing from the cast, and a comment from the producer about how great it was any time you could run that clip. Torture is fun! Talk radio is a marvelous career opportunity for sociopaths.
