Where is Ron Artest when you need him?

Georgetown | Basketball | China | Brawl | Fight | Video | SportsGrid

Here is a link to the video from the recent fight between the Georgetown basketball team and a Chinese team. At first, I anticipated the hoyas would be the ugly agressors.
The Chinese put a beatdown on the hoyas. Maybe Ron Ron will suit up next time.

There is no Ron Artest anymore. He's Metta World Peace. But, yea. He's a good guy to have if you're going to throw punches.

Hoyas suck. Now if it was UConn they would have just scored another 30 points on them with the practice team! (and thats the girls!)

Lot's of speculative remarks on the linked page. I doubt none of them saw the entire game. I didn't either.

I do know this can happen whenever the refs lose control of the game (e.g. call fouls inconsistently or not at all). Seems like there were a lot of fouls called on the Hoyas; don't know if they were justified or not.

If the GT players were playing extraordinarily rough, then the other team eventually retaliates.

If the calls were disproportionately against the GT players, that's going to precipitate some hard feelings too.

It happens between all combinations of teams as well, US, Europe, etc. In fact, ANY competitive sport.

A 5 second youtube search comes up with all kinds of examples:





...... Sorry. I got diverted by the cat fight videos.
