    The last game I went to in March, I was insulting of the employees cause he was being gay when giving out the free Raptors Jersey, and then nothing happened to me except a stare.

    For some reason I don't believe this since the website looks like a joke. Anyone care to validate this?

    Yeah, they pretty much all ready have a code of conduct. The few Pacers games I've ever been too they always announce the code of conduct before the game. Maybe they were just warning Stephen Jackson though. [​IMG]

    My friend went to the Sac-Town game at Detroit, and everybody there was yelling at Ron Artest. He said no one got in trouble, because the employees probably hate him too.

    This sucks, I think the NBA crowd is lacking in terms of chants and how rowdy they can get. I am loving the Warriors crowd, that's how most NBA crowds should be throughout the season. So this sucks if they are clamping down on fan reaction.Or maybe this is the wrestling fan in me, because nothing beats an ECW/CZW/ROH crowd.

    Why give a card? If someone is verbally abusing someone...then just get rid of him.

    Yeah I don't agree with it either. What's next, an NBA Fan Dress Code?

I also remember hearing a story that Wyc himself actually turned around, walked up to some fans' seats, and confronted them face to face for having "Fire Doc" signs and screaming stuff about him.Yet another ridiculous addition to the NBA rule book. Jesus Christ.
