I agree. There are 2 times in 40-some years that I have involved somebody for dealing with fans. First time was for a threat of violence - and I had the TD's designee for my location handle that. The second was for fans (frat brothers) making sexual comments to players (college game) and I had the OSA handle that. Other than that, I just don't hear the stuff.
