FILE - In this Nov. 19, 2004, file photo, Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest gets into the stands to fight with some fans during a brawl st an NBA game with the Detroit Pistons, in Auburn Hills, Mich. Violence is part of the game in many sports. But when the Cleveland’s Myles Garrett ripped the helmet off Mason Rudolph and hit the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback in the head with it, the Browns’ defender crossed a line _ one that attracts the attention of authorities sometimes from within their sport and in other cases from criminal prosecutors.
