Nothing to allow you to do so.
Mike has pretty well covered what I was hinting at (as could be expected.)

Everyone i can see and hear when I am calling a game is subject to MUH AUTHHHHORITY (ok that was a bad southpark imitation) but taken with a grain of salt it is actually true. I truly dont see the difference in either of the following scenerio's and I've done it both ways...
Scenario #1. Fan is dropping f-bombs in a FED game... I call time.... walk off the field and find "game management" who is usually 500 yards away at the gate collecting gate fees, I tell them i have a fan that needs to go, they proceed to walk with me back to the field, we have a nice little chat about our children and the weather, upon returning to the field, he/she asks ok who is causing the problem? I point at the person, he/she asks me "do they need to go?" I nod yes.... he/she proceeds to remove the person.
Scenario #2. Fan is dropping f-bombs in a FED game... I call time.. point at the person and say sir/ma'am you are gone. watch fan leave... announce play ball. between innings i send a runner to tell game management that a fan has been ejected (with details as to what team they were with and anything else i deem pertinent. by next inning game management appears and we talk about the ejection, they says sorry (dunno why
) and then thanks for handling it.
