dudeinblue and tjones1,
It sounds as if you both still have a bad case of " rabbit ears."
Leave what's going on outside of the fence alone unless you feel the spectator is inciting a team to the point that it is beginning to spill over on to the field, or there language becomes profane and abusive.
Then, if you feel the need to have a spectator removed, either find a league official, or an athletic director to take the matter into their hands.
IMO you are heading for trouble if you continue to address the fans in regards to there actions.
Also IMO the wife was right and we have no authority to " eject" a spectator.
Tim.
