There were a few close calls when Lakers fans almost pulled him across that line with westbrick
[QUOTE=Real Men Wear Green;14953917]This is the kind of potential crap I was worried would come Embiid's way. I don't like him getting suspended at all it's just the outcome that you can see coming because of how the NBA and other such organizations deal with incidents in the modern era. It's not a major punishment (he won't miss the money and can just pretend to want to return sooner for the suspension) but he's definitely come out worse for this exchange.[/QUOTE]
It's still a privilege others don't have, threaten someone with violence and get physical in civ life and missing work for a few days is the least of your worries.

If some anonymous guy insults someone else and a punch gets thrown there's a good chance their bosses never hear about it and if they do the boss could well do nothing about it at all. The boss of some guy moving furniture has little or no public pressure to do anything about a (kind of understandable) fist fight. There might have been a thousand fights yesterday. We aren't talking about any of them. The fame help in some ways but not all ways.
