PJ Hairston punched a high school kid tonight?

Funny seeing all the UNC honks defending Hairston to the death having no idea what exactly went down.

 

 

Just as bad as the UNC haters overreacting.

 

Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with "UNC" has the brain capacity of sand.

 

This is all about "pick up games," and the fact that most people know that fights happen all the time, just like this one. They're over as quickly as this one ended. We're not talking about a Pacers-Pistons brawl here.

 

Most people don't think it's a big deal, because it wouldn't be if the guy didn't know that Hairston was who he is.

This isn't about a fight at a pickup game. It's about a guy that has not been able to stay out of his own way.

Regardless of what exactly happened, the bottom line is that PJ is in the headlines for the wrong reasons. The Hornets took a risk in drafting him knowing his history.  Only 10 days into his pro career he is becoming a headache.  How long will his talent level on the court be worth the headache he is causing the organization off the court?

To the original point, since you can't stay focused...what does "UNC" have to do with it?

 

To suggest that people are defending Hairston because he went to "UNC" is completely ridiculous, and borderline short-bus.

 

People are remembering their experiences in pick-up games, and saying this shouldn't be a big deal for that reason, because it happens all the time. Has zero to do with UNC. Has this punk ever filed charges against anyone else after a fight?

 

Doubt it.

Dude, all he is saying is it is funny to see UNC fans blindly defend PJ without knowing exactly what happened.

This is just as bad as seeing duke fans totally overreacting to the situation as well.

Hes not saying anything about UNC, just about the posters on this board.

No.

Children fight....grown ups are able to control their emotions.

Seems simple enough. But poo happens in heated pick up games that don't allow you to think rationally till after the fact.

I could write down a list of the stupid things I've done in practice or pick up games. And I am a generally nice and thoughtful person.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
