Ok we all saw the Kenny Rogers camera thing. So should he have done it. No but I see why he did it, I would hate cameras in my face all the time, and I'm sure that camera man said something to Kenny. Just like celebrities who go nuts at the media every once in awhile. But 20 games for that!!! I think that is far to much. I'm a Rangers fan and what Kenny did was stupid, but the punishment is far to much IMO.
How is it too much? He knocked down one camera (This was before the filming), went over and knocked down Robinson's camera, then walked back and did it yet again.
That's 3 times he got physical with a camerman, had it happened once you can say "Okay, he was just angry" but three times?? And those nearby confirmed that the cameraman didn't say anything to him, Rogers was just being a big baby because his contract negotiations had gotten public and he felt he was underpaid. One thing not noted - the day before he threw a hissy fit and broke an autographed photo of Nolan Ryan beating up Robin Ventura.
I too wouldn't like a cameraman in my face, just like a celebrity, but a celebrity has to deal with cameraman outside their house, in a store, while eating, with their kids, etc. Rogers' issue came on the baseball field where cameras are a daily occurance.
