Nevada,

A lot of people over time have been discouraged from acting or speaking-up for good and just causes. I encourage you to continue.

I don't even know what to make of this post...much like you putting Nevadaref in the same company as historically significant people.

I will say what was said before, this is a flat out lie.

I have no clue what you're talking about.

I speak up by getting the game manager and having that person/people removed.

Rich, you said -
"If your state or your association makes this decision, fine.

Perhaps I mis-understood you. I will edit your post slightly below.

"If one's state or association makes this decision, fine.

If one makes this decision on their own, they're a loose cannon."

The other way, it sounded like you were speaking directly to Nevada. And I simply meant, don't be discouraged, stick to it. After all, calling someone a loose cannon is certainly discouraging them from continuing.

And if he was, so that freak what? That is not shutting him down or telling him he cannot do what he wants. But in Rich's area giving a T for something that was said in the OP is often frowned upon. Why? Because you are penalizing the team for actions that might not even be directly associated with the team. For all you know those chants might have not been from the fans of that specific team. That is why you tell GM and let them handle the situation in many cases. And even the interpretations cautions us against giving Ts to crowds for that very reason. In my area it is also frowned upon to give a T to the crowd. Give the GM a chance to deal with it and even have people removed or sections if need be. And if the people in Nevada's area have no problem with giving Ts to the crowd, good for them.

Peace

One problem: I was speaking directly to him. He's the only one I know on the forum who thinks whacking fans/parents is actually part of his job. If anyone here CAN discourage him from doing this (which I doubt), then GOOD.

He was speaking directly to Nevada... but he was not discouraging him from speaking here... he was discouraging him (and hopefully anyone else) from taking the action Nevada was advocating (issuing a Technical Foul to a fan).

Come on... advocating sticking to your guns and issuing a T to fans is being equated by some to the actions taken by MLK, founding fathers, etc. That's not just ridiculous, it's offensive.
