Ugh

In the words of Snape: clearly, fame isn't everything.

There might be more to the story, but from the sounds of it, the guy decided to attack two innocent kids. How wonderful.

The kids were possibly being a bit annoying, but there's other ways to deal with those things. Besides, they were just that - kids, who actually admired the player enough to want his autograph badly enough to wait.

I know celebrities probably get tired of being interrupted for autographs. But three men against two kids... that's not necessary, no matter what.

Well, that's certainly horrible. What is wrong with people?

A lot of pro sports players make me sick. They get paid so much money just to play a game and this is what happens? Kind of reminds me of the basketball browl back in December.

Yeah... it's just really sad - as well as angrying. I mean, really, people.

That's really sad. There are those two kids, waiting paitiently that that guy finishes his call and then they get attacked. OMG! Wouldn't it have been enough if he had said them to leave him alone, if he didn't have the decency to give them an autograph?

Apparently, it wasn't enough.

But you know, this happens with stars in moderation a lot - rarely to this extreme, but he wouldn't be the first to be all "ew, fans". I know it can't be easy being asked for one, but honestly!
