Chapter 336 Banned for March
The incident of Bruce beating the fans has attracted a lot of attention in the United States with further media reports and the support of the super giants from time to time.
Stern was in his office with a livid face. When he saw the newspaper on the desk, he went over and pushed it to the ground!
"Damn, is this his way?? Is this his way???" Stern couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of his conversation with Bruce.
The thing about Bruce beating the fans made the fans who had experienced the 80s and 90s feel very angry!
Because the NBA at that time was surrounded by drugs, violence and a series of negative news, which caused a large number of fans to leave the arena!
And now, when Bruce's incident broke out, it couldn't help but remind them of that dark era.
Even though the current matter of Bruce beating fans, under the influence of the super giants and the fuel of the media, it seems to be biased towards the NBA side, but after all, he is beating the parents of these people.
"Damn it, a decision must be made as soon as possible!" Stern picked up the phone and said in a slightly blunt tone: "Sally, inform the media that we are going to hold a press conference!"
"understand!"
On November 11, when the Warriors went to Washington to face the Wizards led by Jordan, because of Bruce's affairs, the NBA held a press conference that attracted a lot of media!
In the media room of the NBA headquarters, Stern still maintained his smiling expression. For him, this is obviously not a place to put on face!
Bruce sat beside Stern indifferently, looking at the many media in the audience, a trace of helplessness could not help but flash in his eyes!
After Stern made the decision to hold a press conference, because he was the person involved, Stern had to let him be there, otherwise he would at least give Bruce a 5-year suspension ticket!
"Old guy!!" Bruce said angrily to himself. To him, holding this press conference seemed a little redundant. He didn't want to apologize to that damned guy!
"Ahem, welcome to the NBA headquarters, everyone!"
Seeing that various media and reporters gradually filled the entire media hall, Stern gave full play to his public relations ability!
"For the beating of the fans, I sincerely apologize to all the fans who paid attention to this matter!" Stern stood up himself and bowed solemnly!
Stern's actions made the reporters in the media room frantically press the shutter!
A blinding flash of light temporarily blinded Bruce's eyes in an instant. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, resisting the urge to complain, and looked at the many reporters in the audience with a stiff expression!
"With regard to this matter, after a series of investigations and discussions, we have especially decided to suspend Bruce Young for 3 months and fine him $50, effective immediately!" Bruce, who had a slightly indifferent expression, immediately made the final conclusion on this matter.
"Mr. Bruce, how do you feel about this punishment from the league?"
"Mr. David Stern, when you made this decision, did you consider whether the actions of that fan deserve such a heavy punishment!"
"Mr. Bruce, as the owner of a team, what do you think the fans need most??"
"Mr. Bruce, if you suspend the game, will there be huge turmoil in the Warriors?"
Stern's speech had just ended, and the reporters in the venue suddenly asked a series of questions!
Hearing the endless questions from the audience, Stern's face suddenly darkened!
Seeing his expression, Bruce couldn't help but secretly smiled: "Haha, will this guy be so depressed?"
"I am very willing to execute the ticket issued by the league!" Bruce replied with a smile under Stern's gesture.
"As for whether my suspension will affect the team, what I want to say is "NO"!!"
Hearing Bruce's decisive answer, the reporters in the audience became more and more excited!
"Mr. Bruce, as far as we know, you hit the fan out of anger because he threatened him. Can you tell me what the fan said at that time?"
Hearing the reporter's question, Bruce began his "show time" with a sudden look of anger on his face.
"I have never seen any fans threaten the lives of players and team owners in any arena, let alone think that this fan would treat my players and myself with such obvious personal attacks!"
Bruce's heartbroken appearance really got the reporter's subconscious sympathy at the beginning of the press conference, and that's exactly what he wanted!
"I believe that each of you knows the past of this fan, he is simply a veritable lunatic and violent man!"
"Wow!~"
Bruce's words completely detonated the media room, and all the reporters agreed with him very much!
In the previous article by Ron Steck, the fan's past was deliberately reported in great detail!
I don't know if it was Cole's handwriting. Some other small media, newspapers and TV stations suddenly appeared a large number of witnesses to help Bruce speak and condemn the fan's violence.
Now, when Bruce said such a thing, everyone was preconceived and had a tendency to side with him!
"Of course, I sincerely apologize to all the fans for my irrational behavior, but..." Bruce paused suddenly, and his expression suddenly became serious: "For his medical expenses, I will not pay a penny, nor I will not feel guilty for what happened to such a person who can abuse and threaten unscrupulously!"
"Yes, we will never welcome this kind of fans in the arena!"
Some of the fan representatives, after learning about the fan's past, felt very ashamed of his violent tendencies and previous series of crimes. Some even called on a large number of fan groups to support Bruce in turn.
Seeing some confusion in the venue, Stern knocked on the microphone with a serious expression, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said rigorously: "For the medical compensation and the lawsuit of up to 200 million US dollars proposed by this fan, we are in consultation with you. These compensations will not be made after the FBI negotiates!"
"And, after an in-depth investigation by the FBI, he not only intimidated and threatened the players and league staff with extremely bad words at the Warriors' home court, but he was also under federal investigation for racially discriminatory remarks in previous games. Bureau's warning!"
Stern's words further confirmed the information about this fan, telling him that this guy not only crazily insulted players and verbal attacks at the Warriors' home court, he also used A series of remarks such as niggers and inferior races attacked Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor.
Now, another $200 million in compensation is proposed. If Bruce wants, he can directly submit a blackmail lawsuit to the judge!
"No matter how bad this fan's life is, Bruce has violated the rules set by the league!" Stern said with a very serious expression as he watched the reporters and various media in the audience gradually regain their calm!
"Mr. Bruce, you will not be able to appear in the stadium for the next three months. I wonder if you will still sit in front of the TV at home and enjoy the Warriors' game?"
The question raised by a reporter with a gentle tone suddenly relaxed the atmosphere in the venue, and everyone looked over curiously!
"Of course, I'm an avid fan. If I can't cheer for my team on the spot, I will hug my TV at home tightly in the next three months!" Bruce said with a smile, and then did Make an exaggerated movement like embracing a lover!
"Hahaha!~"
Bruce's actions completely shattered the previous atmosphere in the arena, and everyone saw Bruce's humor again!
"You have such a long vacation, besides watching the game at home, do you have any plans?"
Bruce nodded to the reporter who asked the question with a smile, and said very seriously: "I will have a good taste of the meatloaf made by Mrs. Shirley herself!"
"Hahaha!~"
In the subsequent press conference, in Bruce's answer like a reality show, both parties finally ended with great satisfaction!
Afterwards, with the release of newspapers and media, Bruce's influence in beating fans fell to the lowest point, but his influence gradually reached an astonishing level!
Back in Oakland, Bruce sat alone in the empty room, thinking of the previous press conference, he couldn't help laughing!
The cheeks full of smiles stopped suddenly, and Bruce said in a daze: "You all think I am a fanatic or even crazy fan owner, but who of you knows the loneliness and madness of a person?"
Since winning the Warriors, Bruce has always followed the team, even if it is a regular pre-match training, he will sit quietly in the seat like a loyal fan!
In the previous life, the happy life of the family made him very eager for the arrival of family affection. Even though he was inseparable from Charlize Theron for a period of time, although he felt very happy, he still felt something was missing!
"Family!! When can you enter my heart!" Bruce stood up a little bit in a daze, glanced at the deserted surroundings, and couldn't help feeling a strong desire in his heart, the desire for family affection!
The next day, regarding Bruce's punishment, under the exaggeration of the media and reporters present yesterday, the crisis for the NBA gradually shifted the focus of the discussion to the quality of the fans after reporting on the fan one after another!
Looking at the final conclusion of this matter in the newspaper, Bruce smiled: "Is this the strength of the media?"
