Yet in professional sports it isn't the athletes most of the time. Usually the fans are the ones to cause the riots and fights. Espeaally in the sport of soccer， the fans take the sport so seriously that they are even playing in the game. Unhappy Corinthian fans said that the players were slacking off and so the fans gave the team a piece of their own mind by invading the field， cursing at the players and punching their own team. Corinthian fans have been known to turn against their own team in unfavorable times. These are obviously not true fans. A few years ago Latrell Spreewell was in an incident where he choked his coach. This brought a major conflict to the NBA; they did not know what to do with Latrell. At the time he was on the Golden State Warriors， they needed to make the playoffs and fo do this they needed Latrell. But to let him physically and orally assault his own coach and to get away with it， who knows what type of controversy this could bring to the basketball world. They had to do something with Latrell， but what? If they suspended him， the team would have no chance of getting to the playoffs and no possibilily of winning the basketball championship， which would mean a dramatic decrease of income on the behalf of the Warriors. No matter how devoted a fan is they do not want to spend hard-earned money on a losing team. A good portion of the income for a basketball team is derived from home games. Without many fans， fewer people buy tickets and therefore， fewer people go to the games. This js obviously a financial reason why the Warriors should not suspend Latrell. Another financial issue is that a lot of companies had hired Latrell to advertise certain products for them. Is Latrell the image the retailer is looking for? lf he gets suspended and no one sees him play， why would they want to purchase a pair of shoes endorsed by him? So if they don't suspend him then he is "getting away with it" ， and many people would ask why. The answer is because he is a wealthy， talented basketball player that can get away with choking his own coach. The NBA and the Golden State Warriors had a large problem on their hands that needed to be resolved. How would other NBA players feel about having a violent player on the opposing tearn? If a player would choke his own coach who knows what he would do with other players. Latrell Spreewell posed a potential threat to the NBA and his own teammates. ……
全国英语等级考试（Public English Test System，简称PETS）是教育部考试中心设计并负责的全国性英语水平考试。PETS是我国唯一面向全体社会公民的多级别的权威英语测试体系，对考生无年龄、职业以及受教育程度的限制，考生可以根据自己的英语水平选择参加其中任何一个级别的考试。PETS分为笔试和口试两个相对独立的考查部分，对考生听、说、读、写等能力进行全面考查，对合格者颁发相应的英语等级证书，以满足社会上英语能力鉴定和人才市场的需求。 PETS 2级和4级考试的标准被分别用来改造当前高考和研究生入学考试中的英语考试，PETS 2级和3级考试被分别用来替代高等教育自学考试中专科和本科考试中的公共英语考试，PETS 5级考试已替代全国外语水平考试中的英语考试（WSK·EPT）。
