The Australian Open Isn’t Tough On Crime
On Tuesday an Australian Open match had to be temporarily suspended while police subdued a group of rowdy spectators with pepper spray. In the end, five fans were thrown out of the stadium. Just another ho-hum day a the 
Open.
Now here’ the interesting part.
Police said those thrown out will be not be allowed to re-enter Melbourne Park for 24 hours.
Twenty-four hours? That’s it? These people create such a disturbance that the marquee sporting event of the country has to be stopped, bringing shame and ridicule on the great land of Australia, and they’re going to be allowed back into the stadium in 24 hours?
Attention hooligans around the world. Australia is the place to go. If the Pacers-Pistons brawl had happened there the guy who threw the beer at Artest would have been back in his seat for tip-off of the next game.

Way to know nothing about Australia or the open, this stuff happens every year, just make sure not to schedule any Serbs against any Croats.
And the marquee event is currently going on in Perth.
Now, please, go back to commenting about football, where the play is so sporatic fans can’t get passionate.
