Brawlers' punishment should be modeled on soccer

re: Pistons & Pacers brawl on Friday evening

By Marc Stein
ESPN.com

As commissioner of the world's second most popular team sport, David Stern makes frequent references to No. 1.

"Which is soccer," Stern says.

Which is why you can safely assume that Le Commish, as part of his punishment deliberations this weekend, has studied and considered how player-fan unrest has been handled in world football.

Which is why Indiana and Detroit should be worried. Very worried.
