Also, a suggestion. Don't post copyrighted material. Just provide a link.
I just said part of the officiating crew, not per se officials.

Look up the term "Cagers" for BK players
Folks,

What happened in LA is no big deal.

Nobody got hurt, no damage was done, and some fans who got mad were going top be made because the Cavs crushed LA.

Passions overflow sometimes, especially when you are dealing with a ton of people in a place who have no clue as to what is going on on the floor. They boo, throw harmless fingers, except in one case (and he got caught), they leave.

Nobody likes having this happen, but in comparison to an Al-Queda guy trying to blow up an airliner over Detroit, this is no big deal.

Forgive, forget, move on.

Totally disagree. Anything being thrown onto a playing court/field by fans is a big deal. If you don't think so, you should try being on the floor as it's happening to get a good perspective on how harmless it is.

No, it's not a big deal compared to Al-Queda. But that doesn't mean it can't be discussed and that doesn't mean that it's appropriate.

Fans don't have any business throwing anything onto any playing court or field.

Tickets at many venues now come with a warning that debris throwing is grounds for removal.

Sad that we require a printed warning.

Mbyron - just looked at the back of one on my Nationals Ticket from earlier in the year and found the warning.....

Also looked at the back of a Wizards Ticket and the writing is soooo small I couldn't even read it. What's with that?

Are you asking me? I'd have to guess that it's small in order to maximize the number of CYA rules they can fit on one ticket.

Absolutely!

It was a rhetorical question - it's like the thermostat at my house - can barely read it, even with my cheaters!

Then who are you differentiating when you use the term "floor officials?"
