I'm disappointed in the Kings management for allowing Ron Artest to return to the team this season. Also, from what I understand, in the home game against Denver recently, which marked Artest's first return to the court, since beating on a woman, the crowd actually showed there support for him, by cheering for him loudly, when he was introduced during the lineup's at the beginning of the game.
The Kings organization, and it's fans, should be ashamed of themselves.
Sad commentary on how jocks can do no wrong in the eyes of their fans, and how winning, at all costs, is the only thing that seems to matter to team management.

This is their culture - they celebrate misdemeanor and felony arrests and allegations. Think about the fan base for these a**holes.
This is what the fans' season tickets, cable and satellite subscriptions, authentic apparel purchases, and all that sh*t buys them - they love their thuggery, on and off the court.

What do you expect from a team and city that lets fans burn jerseys of the opposing team in front of there stadiums! The good thing is that they'll never win a championship, they might not even make the playoffs this year, and if they do they'll chock like every year against the Lakers, or any other team for that matter!!! The Kings blow!!! They should be called the Queens!

The reaction of the fans to Artest doesn't surprise me. Neither does the organization letting him play. The Kings are still trying make the playoffs and are willing to do anything to make that happen. Even if it means playing a guy who doesn't deserve to play because of his behavior.

Dude he is the best player on their team, it's like taking off a kobe from the lakers or a lebron from the cavs or even a Nash from the suns.

He's innocent till proven guilty.We don't know the whole story and half the fans did boo him.Don't convict him until you know he did it for sure,his kids have been taken away from him until this is settled so he's paying right now.

I agree I think it is BS. I thought that for once a sports team was going to do the right thing but I was mistaken.
