Fan Ejected

In a case such as Ford, it is clear which team he is with.

I can't really tell with the face what your thoughts are on the subject and I'd like to hear them.

I've kicked out numerous fans and never assessed a team technical foul for it.

Just consider whether you believe that teams should be held accountable for the behavior of their spectators and then ponder what impact that would have on the behavior.

He’s joking. This has been discussed many times over the years. Even if it’s warranted a “T” in this case fixed nothing, and most likely will only make it worse.

I'm aware and I still wanted his take on the subject. He gave it and I'm happy with it.

On the contrary, the fan behavior is poor because people are not held accountable for their actions.
If the behavior is bad enough to warrant removal, ask yourself why the affiliated school/team shouldn't be penalized?
Sadly, the same people who moan about poor sportsmanship are the same ones unwilling to do something to address the problem.

Fair enough,

I'll remove the cancer and move on. For me that's addressed enough. In extreme cases parents have been banned from attending school functions. Problem fixed. If you want to start giving out T's as part of your solution great it's just not mine.

I don't moan. I'm not adverse to addressing unacceptable behavior from the crowd (as noted in an earlier post). I'm not T'ing up a team b/c some a-hole roots for them.

It's not worth me leaving my house for.

You clearly don't care about the game...or the children.

Edit: Crap, I just realized that the blue font probably doesn't make a difference for you, does it?

Several years ago, I had a prep school fan step onto the court to complain about a call, he actually walked right up to me during a dead ball. No athletic director. No site director. I walked calmly over the home team head coach and told him that the fan had to be removed from the gymnasium. Assistant coach jumped off the bench and said that I couldn't do that. I asked him to sit down. Head coach says that there is no athletic director, or site director to remove the fan. Assistant coach jumps back up to complain, so he gets served a cup of tea. I tell the head coach that we're not playing until the fan was removed. I didn't threaten forfeit, I just said that we're waiting until the fan was removed. Finally, he walked over to the fan, and convinces him leave the gym. First, and only, time in thirty-five years. I can't guarantee that it won't happen again.

Me neither. I like my freedom, because I will go to jail if I kept doing that stuff.

Peace

I was wondering the same thing. I've only even considered it a couple of times, but found other ways to address it each time.
