I don't know how many of you remeber this incidient that involved Marcus Smart, an African American basketball player at OSU and Jeff Orr, a fan that was attending a Texas Tech vs OSU game. there were a lot of stories about what actually happened during this moment of the game when Smart pushes Orr after a play that landed him in the stands. Smart was later suspended for a few games and had to publicly apologize for his actions. it was said that Orr made a racial remark to Smart which lead to Smart pushing the fan. What do you think should have happen to Jeff Orr if he really did make a racial remark to Smart? How should the NCAA handle fans who bring race into a game situation where it is now affecting the athletes? i just felt like this was a situation that wasn't look at more deeply because it only resulted in Marcus Smart being suspended a few games and the fan being removed from the game.
