Zidane's stupidity left me thinking what are some of the dumbest and worst sports incidents in history. I am only including the ones I can find video for. If anyone can find a video for Monica Seles being stabbed in the back or fans attacking Kansas City Royals 1B coach Gamboa, please add them. Also add anything you think I missed.

I thought about it, but I figured I'd be accused of over reacting because I am a Mets fan. He didn't hit Piazza and unfortunately, the league took no action against him.

I'm a Mets fan, and honestly, I think the whole thing was overblown. A shard of bat came flying at him and he tossed it across his body and off the field. Piazza was going that way. If Clemens wanted to come near Piazza, he would have. If Roger was emotionally melting down, he'd not be able to control his anger enough to miss Piazza by the amount he did.

Of please. You're going to put that among the worst incidents in sports history, even though nobody was hit, nobody was hurt, and no riot ensued? That incident doesn't belong on the list of worst incidents in sports, but it probably belongs on a list of most overblown.

How about the Indiana Pacers v. Detroit Piston game that resulted in the Pacers, led by Ron Artest, going into the stands and brawling with fans?

Anybody remember the incedint a few years ago with the Pawtucket Red Sox (Sox triple-A team) when the PawSox batter was hit by a pitch, then kicked the catcher in the face and tried to fight the entire other team? That was a nice one...

Haha, then he goes on to charge the mound and antagonises the rest of the team to fight him...

nothing was as bad as they hockey player getting cold-cocked. the guy who did it should have been charged with assault.

How about 2000 when Marty McSorley hit Donald Brashear in the head with his hockey stick? He was arrested and convicted of assault for that hit.

Or how about the one in 2001, I think it was, or maybe 2000, when a dad beat another dad to death at their sons' hockey practice?

There was a greek basketball player years back that fouled out in a championship game, then frustrated he slammed his head against the basket support and broke his neck, paralyzing himself....how about the ump that was stabbed by a fan in the 1940's?? Marichal's bat wiedling, Kermit Washington breaking Rudy T's face, Ray Chapman getting killed by a pitch... this list was poorly research, redundantly worn out and wwwweak... there's a big difference between a boneheaded, emotional play and an 'incidence'... boo!

Do you have a video of any of these things? If so, please post them. As I said, i only posted videos I could find. I am pretty sure I can find a VIDEO of Ray Chapman getting killed by a pitch. I am even more sure I can find a VIDEO of an ump getted stabbed BEFORE TELEVISION!!! This post is useless.

Again, the post invites you to post any that you think I missed, including 2 specific ones that I mention. At this point, either put up (videos) or shut up.

you shouldn't have any problem finding Kermit Washington's punch... it really is the #1 ugly sports incident ever... I'm not going to write your articles for you. FOX's "Best Sports" Lists already do that for you apparently...

I didn't put the McSorley hit because I never thought it was intentional. I really do believe that he was trying to hit his shoulder and get him to fight. It looks bad, but I think the others are far worse.

It may not have been intentional, but like the commentators were saying - you're responsible for being in control of your stick. I'm sure he didn't mean to hit the guy in the head, but he did, so that makes it horrible in my book. I think it was magnified by the fact that he was still talking crap when the guy was on the ground.

I think you got that about right. The brawl at auburn hills is easily the worst with the hit from bertuzzi on moore coming in at a close second.

It is definitely not "worst" sports incidents, but definitely one of the funniest: Last year, a Cincinnati Bengals fan runs onto the field mid-play as the Green Bay Packers are attempting a game tying drive. After the play is whistled dead, the fan steals the ball from the hands of a stunned Brett Favre and runs away. I was laughing so hard.

I saw something many years ago that was pretty bad. It was a soccer match, and a player had a fast break, he was nearing the goalie box and so the goalie came out to meet him, as the offensive player crossed into the box the goalie jumped at him and put his knee into the guys neck killing him. i looked for the video but couldn't find it anywhere.

How about the one where the 14 year old kid beat up this other kid in a youth league basketball game. That was pretty brutal and disgusting.

It might be predictable, but I had to add Tyson biting Holyfield's ear. Although it was grotesque, it's certainly not the worst thing we've seen. What puts it in the worst sports incidents for me is that this really seemed to be the beginning of the decline in popularity of heavyweight boxing.
