Basketball player Marcus Smart suspended for shoving FAN he allegedly 'heard calling him a Nigger

Very dumb thing for this player to do regardless ofr what he heard or thought he heard.  Laying hands on a fan in the stands is a big no no.  

Daily Mail reports college basketball has been rocked by firestorm of controversy after Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart was banned for three games for shoving a fan he thought shouted the n-word at him on Saturday night.


Smart, a 20-year-old sophomore, had fallen on the baseline with seconds remainin in Oklahoma's loss to Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, when he rapidly jumped to his feet and pushed superfan, Jeff Orr in the chest.

The jaws of the surrounding fans dropped as Smart used both his hands and the clearly enraged college player was restrained by his teammates as he pointed back at Orr, who is well known as a Texas Tech season ticket holder.
