You forgot one thing.

Jerky would have subsequently jumped into the tunnel on top of Beal to kick his a$$ for knocking his hat off.

IDK... I see both sides to this.

1. Players have to be a little tougher and ignore fans. Fans are going to bitch and moan and make comments. Beal should have just moved on. Now if the fan said something personal, like about Beal's mom, wife(?), or kids, then fair game. Kick the fans a$$.
2. Conversely, fans shouldn't be "dicks". The fan was the dumba$$ who lost the bet. Not Beal. I think fans know they are "protected" and try to stir crap up. Since they know they can make a big story and sue players if they touch them, it seems like a setup at times to trap the players.

Fans/bettors should really stop blaming the players for their loss. They had the option to bet the other side.

Nice reputation as a hothead I have built for myself here @ BMR if things go south in a moments notice . You guys are right I can be the most pleasant and respectful person in the world, but if I feel threatened or disrespected I can turn into Lucifer real quick.

The best trait I have is that I don’t hold grudges and I can forgive and forget. So the next day all is good and we can work on our differences. That pertains in real life and on these boards. OK I’m now going to read this story besides just the headline lol

After reading the article I wouldn’t have said shit to Bradley Beal in fact. I don’t blame others for my losing decisions on wagers. I blame myself & myself only so I would’ve kept my mouth shut in that scenario. That fan was a troll & Bradley was a tool to react that way. If I was Bradley Beal, I would’ve laughed really loud and said “fuckkin’ degenerate” to the fan end of story.

It’s a minor misdemeanor

just a fine and or a slap on the wrist.

however, the fan has to be willing to press charges for the district attorney aint gonna be able to do anything
