I just ran a fan a couple weeks ago for verbally taunting a visiting team player. He didn't get physical, he didn't come on the court, but a 50-ish man cursing at and calling a girl from the opposing team "trash" from three feet away got him a swift exit.
First time I've run a fan in years, but I have no qualms about having done it.
