I think its a total non-issue. I'm just amazed at the beliefs of the rantards..

What belief is that? That it's a non-issue and nothing harmful happend to the kid. Now, if he would have plowed over him like he was going to do to that ref, then an apology would have been more warranted IMO.

WOW. I hope my son, the Doctor, doesn't get wind of this. For some reason, I thought teaching him to work hard and expect no HAND OUTS will lead to success. I'll also pass it on to my other son, the Insurance Agent, and my Daughter, the Teacher and mother of 2.
Next time your kid comes in 2nd, be sure to get that trophy for effort.
Congrats on your success as a Dad. I guess my question is, when you accidentally bump someone, you don't say a quick "sorry about that" or "my bad"?
If not, then hopefully your kids are more courteous than you, cuz you might be an a-hole.
and by the way, this has absolutely nothing to do with work ethic or expecting a hand out...you are confusing hard work with common courtesy.

You act like Davis' situation is the same as someone accidentally bumping someone in a store. It's not. He just hit the biggest shot in his life and was running around celebrating. I'm willing to bet he didn't even realize he bumped into a kid at that moment.
Let me ask you this. When thousands of students storm the field after a big win and slightly bump into each other, do they stop and say sorry?
It's apple and oranges.

completely agree....
he was pumped up and probably didn't realize where he was on the floor.
I was talking biggest points with BBA and StromileSwift.

When a player goes diving for a ball out of bounds and lands in the seats, that player never has to apologize. When you sit that close, you are taking that risk, and the player has no reason to apologize.
Glen Davis doesn't need to apologize IMO, but probably should, so it can blow over and focus on game 5.

If a cop is chasing a suspect and bumps into a bystander does he stop and say "sorry about that"? It is a different atmosphere than what you are trying to portray. Adreneline is pumping dude is on cloud nine and didn't realize what happened.
He shouldn't apologize to the kid period. Now to be nice he could give him some second row seats, just to show he's better than the dad

If I just hit a shot to win a playoff game and am going to celebrate with my team, I may not stop and apologize. I can't say, I've never been in that situation.
But if someone bumps me in the hall at work on accident and doesn't apologize, I'm not going to email everyone in the building and ask for an apology because it doesn't matter at all. That's life, you can't bitch and whine about every trivial bullshite thing that hurts your sensitive feelings everyday.

Exactly. Did you really expect him to stop celebrating with his teammates after hitting the biggest shot of his career to apologize to someone that wasn't harmed in ANY WAY. I've been bumped into before and the other person didn't say a word. Did I stop them and say anything? No, life is just too short to worry about petty crap of that nature.

What does this even mean? Like I've stated several times before, it's a total NON-ISSUE. It's not like he bumped into somebody on the street and didn't say a word. What else is there to talk about?

I watched highlights of the game the other night and saw that kid get hit...I for one thought it was hilarious, but didn't think to much of it

PLAIN AND SIMPLE:
If that would have been Dirk that hit the game winner and did the exact same thing.. there would be no upset father period!

Big Baby is an adult and he pushed a kid in a moment of enjoyment. He should not be told to apologize he should want too, by not doing so says alot. He was 1 step into the court and is 12/13 years old.
Grow a pair!!! That "child" had no right being where he was in relation to the court.

" I still think he shouldn't have went on the sideline , ...."
Well , one things for sure , the kids father has the right grammatical skills to be a star on the rant !

So if you shoved a kid intentional or not you would not at least turn around and say "sorry" says alot.
If people are working, and I walk into their jobsite and wander in front of one of them who is moving quickly, and we collide, I pretty much feel like I'm the intruder and I'm the one who should be staying out of the way and I'm the one who should be apologizing.
If Davis hadn't pushed the kid out of the way and had tripped over him suffering a freak career-ending injury, think the dad would have apologized?

I am a mother...
it's been said that many consider me a very good mother. And I have good kids.
If they were sideline, courtside, or front row 3rd base at a game, and were somehow, unintentionally caught up and not grossly injured as a player was in the course of doing his job, I would NOT DEMAND an apology. Period.
Seems this kid could have been paying more attention to what was going on ON THE COURT at the time of the shot, and not staring off stupidly in the other direction, and that Glenn just tried to clear him out of the way, with no intent to be agressive like an "animal" like the stupid father was saying..
If MrMomma had been with my kids at the moment, I would have been a little miffed that he let them out there where they were involved too closely with the play... But if he had started this crap with the media, he would be permanently CUT OFF, because it would be obvious to me that he'd lost his manhood!

quote:He was not standing just like the entire arena; that's why the people on either side of him were not touched. He also was not watching the court, but was looking back into the stands, which is (presumably) why he stepped in front of Davis in the first place.
the kid was standing just like entire arena to see the shot.
I keep watching the video, and I keep seeing Davis running up the sideline in front of the crowd until this kid steps out in front of him. When Davis ran around behind the ref, none of the fans sitting there were in the way. When he took his first two steps up the sideline, none of the fans there were in the way. Then all of a sudden there is this kid stepping out towards the court, looking back towards the seats instead of where he was going, and right in front of Davis. What part of that suggests that Davis should apologize other than the fact that he is a 6'9" 250+# millionaire sports celebrity who will be harshly criticized no matter what he does and thus will be expected to apologize for everything?
Should A-Rod apologize to everyone who has to move out of the way of one of his home runs? Should Randy Johnson apologize to the bird? Should Kevin Moen apologize to Gary Tyrrell?

he has since issued an apology

quote:Right. The seats are courtside, meaing "adjoining the official playing area of a court." Thus, the kid IN FRONT OF HIS SEATS is no longer where the seats are, but is in the area adjoining the seats, aka -- "the court."quote:courtside
hence the term "courtside seats"
–noun
(in sports) the area adjoining the official playing area of a court, as in basketball, tennis, or volleyball.
Courtside does not mean on the court
