Fan Conduct at LP.

If you wear the jersey, you're BEGGING for it. This guy expects to have a candle-lit dinner set up for him, and a violinist to play soft melodies while the game is on - sorry.
And no die-hard Titan fan would wear a Colts jersey even if it were flame retardant and they were playing a chess-match in hell.

This reminds me though: I hope this was the clown I "harrassed" on the bridge in preseason week 1. He and his family were wearing Colts jerseys...to a preseason game vs the...RAMS. What was the point? I said "Uhhh... this guy obviously showed up to the wrong game. Titans vs Rams, I know! I'll wear my Peyton jersey! hur hur hur!"

 

Anybody who would bother another person just because they have a different jersey is an idiot.

Bothering someone who is there with kids deserves an asskicking.

WTF is wrong with enjoying the game win or lose? Such children!

 

FYI childress will tell you there is a better chance of getting bothered in the English premier league than the NFL. Show up to fratton park with united gear and i'm going to kick your arse!

Portsmouth is my team!

 

Sorry. An idiot I may be. But I'm not the one dumb enough to wear an opposing team's jersey (not even a rival) and expecting to not be jeered.
And why the hypocritical second post?

"only an idiot would bother someone in a different jersey"
"show up to fatton with united gear and I'm going to kick your arse"

wow.

 

And since we're on it - You don't even have to be in the stadium in Manchester. Find out you're a Chelsea Rent Boy, and it's over with!

Wonder what this Shelton sissy would have cried about if he found himself in that situation.
And if you're a Portsmouth fan, you'd better do the arse kicking for your team, because lord know they're not doing any of it.

 

There is a difference between playful jeering and disrespectful and obnoxious jeering. You should expect to here some jeering if you were an opposing jersey, it wouldnt be the same if you didnt. It becomes a problem when it gets to physical harm and so on..

 

If the NFL and LP field wants fans to behave, then they should not sell liquor or beer. It's that simple

I think this conduct policy sucks because it is going to be difficult to administer. I agree wholeheartedly that no fan needs to be physically or verbally threatened, but how in the hell to effectively adminster/monitor the difference between good ole home stadium "ear chewing" and a legitimate threat?

The stadium should have a published policy that when a complaint is made to stadium personnel- the stadium personnel are required to evaluate the validity of the complaint and LOG it. The offending parties should be given a written warning THAT THEY MUST SIGN OR BE EJECTED, that states if their behavior continues they will be ejected and whatever other standardized progressive discipline measures are appropriate will be taken.

As it stands now (and it has happened to me), a fan can register a complaint and you get a letter stating your PSL's are going to be revoked. No explanation given as to who, what or why you have done to violate the policy. Total BS.

 

Last year I went to Game 6 of the Celtics-Hawks series. It was in Atlanta and of course I had to wear my Pierce jersey. Man, I didn't think the Hawks were going to win and they did. I got trash talked so much and this one guy actually touched me. Oh! All hell broke loose and I almost got into a fight. Of course the C's won the whole thing. I'm thinking about going to the regular season game next year in the ATL and showing off my new Ray Allen jersey. Hawks fans need to learn to actually win before they trash talk. The arena was sold out and they're all bandwagon jumpers.

 

Gloat brought it up before I could, but futball matches worldwide don't use that sort of code of conduct, because people die. It's not wrong to be passionate and maybe a little rowdy at times.
