I'm sure many of you saw this.

But at Thursday night's preseason game against the Pittsburg Steelers he says, "This little feller in a red shirt said I needed to sit down, and I said, 'I've been doing this for 14 years. You got to be kidding.' Next thing I know there was a posse of cops, a deputy sheriff and Charlotte police escorted me to security."

Nejberger says Panthers security never gave him a reason for booting him from the stands. He says they just told him, "You have to go or we're going to have to put you in jail."

The Panthers front office better correct this situation and do it in a hurry. That is not the PR that you want going into the season. Luckily for the Panthers they do have an out right now with Jon Richardson stepping down earlier in the week. They can just blame it on a transition problem, fire the security guard and apoligise to the fan.

At least I hope that is how its handled.

WOW.... that was a good read. If anything the people in the seats need to get up and be louder! Your not at the movies.

And this is why we are the laughing stock of NFL fanbases.

Our stadium is filled with snobby douchebags and yuppie fine young males who think football and golf are the same sport.

"Ohh look Miranda, they converted a third down attempt, I do believe a gentle clap is in order. WELL DONE GENTLEMEN, TALLY HO!."

If you don't like fans cheering for the team, stay at home!

I liked the part "You can't get drunk on $7 beers. No, I was not drunk at all,"

I have one.

It was early in the First Quarter and four dudes sat down two rows in front of me. For the past five years that I've been coming here, those four seats have always been taken by a guy, his wife and their daughters. Anyway the family comes later and informs the four dudes that they're in the wrong seat. As they're leaving, one of the four dudes accidently pushes the father down on top of an old lady in the next row. He didn't apologize to the father, just kept on walking. Anyway, the four dudes walk up a few aisles and take four more seats. The father calls the usher. The usher calls security. Security calls more security.

The guys are removed from the game.

There was no need to taddle on them, but the dumb punk could have at least said "excuse me". Not too sure where there actual seats were.

Oh noes!! I would be out every game if they escorted those that stand and cheer. In 14 years, we've only had 1 person ask us to sit down and he wasn't the usual seat occupant, who stands too. He was older and had trouble standing so for that game we were more careful. (My son stood but leaned into me so the guy could see. lol)

There was an incident between 2 drunks in our section a couple of years ago that needed the police. They were both escorted but the one that had been standing came back, to cheers. The complainer didn't.

We're in trouble if this becomes the norm. The guy complaining probably didn't hesitate to text security. Jackass!! :angelsad2:

I saw another guy pretty close to me get ejected last night for basically nothing. It was clear he had a few beers and at one point he walked right down to the railing and took a picture of the cheerleaders with his camera phone. The next thing I know, he's being escorted out by a cop?

[Jaxel]

Mmm, I don't blame the guy.. I would have gotten pissed off too. talking about comment above me^.

[KillerKat]

Can someone turn this into Gant, Reed, or someone and try to expose this? If nothing is done, this will just be another story swept under the rug.

I love JR, but he runs this fuging team like it's a Hardee's.
