AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Two men were banned from events at The Palace for what the Detroit Pistons say is their involvement in last month's NBA brawl.
John Green and Charlie Haddad were sent letters informing them of the ban, which also includes events at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek said Wednesday. The Clarkston site is another holding of the Palace Sports and Entertainment organization.
Apart from Pistons games, the Palace hosts figure skating competitions and concerts. The DTE Energy Music Theatre holds concerts.
Green, of Oakland County's West Bloomfield Township, is accused of lobbing a cup at Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest on Nov. 19, sparking the brawl. Haddad, of Burt, ran onto the court that night, Dobek said.
``They're completely picking on the little guy,'' Shawn Smith, Green's lawyer, said Wednesday.
The brawl spilled into the stands and led to three Indiana players being suspended for 25 or more games, including a season-long ban for Artest.
There is no telephone listing for Haddadd.
No criminal charges have been filed in the brawl. Oakland County prosecutor David Gorcyca said Tuesday police must finish their investigation first.
``It is obvious from the multitude of videotapes that numerous Pacer players and fans are implicated in criminal wrongdoing,'' Gorcyca said in a statement. ``To issue charges in haste and before a thorough investigation is completed would be irresponsible and a dereliction of our duties.''
Gorcyca had told The Detroit News that Pacers players will be charged, but declined to specify the players or charges. |

I still say Artest, Jackson and O'neil should all be banned from the palace too. They did attack fans.
Before I hear oh they are players you can't do it just remember they did start this whole thing. |

Ok he had a cup of beer thrown at him so that gave him the right to attack a guy that didn't throw the beer?
He started the whole fighting thing he got hit with a beer cry me a fucking river and go get secuirty. If your going to ban all the fans that fought at that game for life from the palace you should do the same thing to the players who took part in the fighting but hey I guess they are NBA players so everyone has to suck their dicks and say it's no big deal.
I don't care a player going into the crowd and hitting a fan in any sport should be a lifetime ban but I guess that would just make too much sense. |
