Booted Fans Required To Take Test For Re-Entry

This is laughable. The stadium experience has already been beaten to death with the constant, "You better behave, or else..." threat that appear 20 times during the game on the big screens; a lousy sound system, tiny stadium screens and horrible replays.

I'd like to know how much this "licensed psychotherapist" got paid by the NFL to come up with this...

The No Fun League has reached a whole new level.

"Jets fans who screamed obscenities at women until they exposed their breasts in a rude Gate D tradition at the old Giants Stadium."

People can say what they want, freedom of speech, if that isn't the case I could put hundreds in prison. I hope the women were arrested for indecent exposure. Love how they make it sound like they were forced to show their tits with all the obscene talk. Waht bullshit. The article is actually pretty good. They are talking about getting violence out of the stadiums. Only children fight over sports, not grown men and therefore I have no issue with them wanting to remove the children from the stadium.

I have witnessed some shitty things at BOA but you have to remember an article like this is most likley meant for bigger or trashier cities where it is an issue. Such as teh killing of a 49er fan last year? I am sure there is more violence as well jsut look up the history of the Coboy, Eagles, Jets and Raiders. Going to a Panther game is nothing and I mean NOTHING like those teams (I have been). JR is running a G/Y7 stadium compared to some.

The children who are stupid, try and fight, need to be removed. As far as JR's stadium I think they are doing some major renovations with the money JR straight up stole from the fans in 2010. I am hoping for a big improvement but I won't hold my breath.

Thumbs up if you thought this was an Onion Story

This isn't Youtube, and I don't think you're 13 years old.

Anyways, I don't think this is that big of a deal. It's a way to shame people who are idiots at games, that certainly doesn't apply to the league of Huddle gentlemen.

I wish I thought this up. He gets 55 bucks for every test. If like the article says there are 32 stadiums and 400 fans take the course per stadium, that amounts to 12,800 folks. That grosses him $704,000 for an online course, reading 12,800 letters and grading tests that are likely self-scored.

Sounds likes genius to me.

Been to many games at Candlestick in SF and the colliseum in Oakland as a visiting Panthers fan. The guys are nuts. What's really crazy is these same guys show mad love the night before when I'm there watching A's games as a home fan, but they turn crazy with the Raiders.

And a quick edit to someone's post above, it was a Raider fan killed by a 49er fan at last years preseason skirmish.

I have kids and take them to game and it seems like it never fails, some drunk starts acting like an idiot and starts cursing out loud and becoming more of the show than what is on the field. We yell at the refs and scream for the panrthers too, but not in a manner that makes us look like the products of first cousins.

If you have to be told how to act at a football game-if you cannot cheer for the team and have a great time without pissing everyone around you off, then you will not get this point because you are a self-centered, social moron. There is a fine line between being a fanatic and being a complete idiot.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
