Fan Ejected

Travis Ford was ejected (as a fan) from his son's HS varsity game the other night in Stillwater.

There may be some media bias and/or inaccuracy in the story. At the very least we don't know exactly what happened or what was said.

My issue, on a larger scale, is that officials should not be ejecting fans, known celebrities or not. That's what game management is for (especially in a big 6A gym like Stillwater HS). At the very least, if an official has an issue, he/she should quietly consult with the game manager during a timeout and mention the issue, then let him/her handle it from there. In this case, it looks like an official actually stopped the game and therefore made a scene. To me, that's very poor form.
