We celebrate Pippen purposely straddling Ewing after posterizing him. How is that any different? Did Pippen go “punk thug?”
It’s unsportsmanlike and tech worthy, but its behavior that happens all the time in sports.
Now, throwing punches and picking up chairs? Terrible and suspension worthy, but the brawl was already underway before he took those actions. I’m finding it hard to pin the full blame for the brawl on him.
