So if you are going to judge "Ginger" as a derogatory term and do something about it where does your all encompassing social judgment end? If a green school fans call the Yellow school "bananas" and means it in a rude way couldn't you consider that derogatory as well? Just do your job and let administrators do theirs.

If the distraction affects the game in some way then ask someone who is there for that purpose.

You honestly don't see the difference between the scenarios.

OK - this isn't at a basketball game, but if it was, would you just ignore it or have it removed? Would you ask game management to remove the person also?

Somewhere in the vast expanse between a personal attack directed at a person's physical characteristics and a play on school colors.

Who decides? I do, and I'm comfortable with my judgment.

Regarding the "ginger" comment, I wasn't advocating getting anyone tossed or whatever, I was just bringing it to the attention of administration in case they wanted to address it. The guy I told clearly didn't, so I'm over it. I did my part. I think I would address most crowd behavior this way as long as the crowd behavior wasn't spilling on to the floor or causing a safety concern for the players.
