I thought Tonya Harding putting out the hit on Nancy Kerrigan was mean and uncalled for and resulted in damage to my own ear drums

Of course it is, JonasW. The fans threw stuff on the court which is not very good sportsmanship. Ron Artest shoves a boy in the black shirt that Artest thought that he was the one that threw a cup on him.

Fans aren't part of the sport, as much as they think they are. That was an assault and provocation of happened next.

For me the most unsportsmanlike moment in sports both happened in soccer.
1. The Zinedine Zidane headbutt. The best player in the world at the time in the second most watched sports game of the year (more than Superbowl) headbutted another player on the field. Although it wasn't bad it was a super important game.

2. More recent is Luis Suarez's three bites on three different players in three different games.

3. Most shocking and disgusting was when a Brazilian third league team fans beheaded the referee in front of fans after he killed a player by stabbing him.

Also do to how passionate fans are and how many people play the sport their have been different incidents in the sports history were dozens of fans have been murdered, people have shot each other and parts of cities burned in riots. Personally my mom has seen a game were people rioted in the stands and a few people died in a stampede.

Every Dolphins fan might remember Brandon Marshall taunting Jay Cutler by throwing the ball to Cutler.

Plus Justin Smith for the 49ers gets flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for contacting an official and gets ejected.

I remember this hit Dale Hunter put onto Pierre Turgeon after he scored a goal in the 1993 playoffs, right at the 0:45 second mark:

Well Ron Artest's actions in the Pistons-Pacers Brawl was unsportsmanlike. So was the Boston Marathon Cheater.

For those of you who are into pro bowling, go to the match between Randy Pedersen and Ernie Schlegel in 1995. Schlegel's celebration was the most classless thing I've ever seen.
