- Comment: The Reading Eagle source says he threw the chair at Holmes, but Sports Illustrated says he kicked it at Quinn. I trust the Reading more because SI says he played for Beaumont, which he did not.[1]

New and long enough and within policy. Since there are only two sources on the chair incident and to avoid subjectively picking the "right" source, it would be better to generically say something like he "directed" or "launched" a chair at a team official with a footnote describing the discrepancy between kicking vs throwing and who it was directed at.—Bagumba (talk) 18:08, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
