<br/><br/> "Like just about everyone else who watched the replays of Friday night's [Nov. 19,  2004] NBA game between the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers, Daniel Wann was astounded. Not that fans had demonstrated their displeasure by raining insults, cups of beer and handfuls of popcorn on NBA players. Not that players had responded by storming into the stands and throwing haymakers. Not even that fans had responded by running onto the court and attempting to sucker punch other players. Wann, a psychology professor at Murray State (Ky.) University who researches fan behavior, was struck by something else. 'You look at it, and you're amazed that, gosh, it took this long,' he said." (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH) This article discusses the volatile player/fan relationship in today's sports world and also examines past confrontations.
