Lawsuit: Giants fans say they have the "civil right" to use bad language/gestures against their team


Recommended Posts

When will idiots realize you need to “ READ YOUR TICKET” you have a code of conduct you have to follow to have the privledge of sitting in those seats.  They had every right to kick you out of the stadium.

 

mind you they had no right to arrest them and detain them like they did, just escort them out and like most morons get a lifetime ban from the stadium from the team.

I'm always in favor of more security at football games and rapid removal of some of the trash I see present at the stadium. 

 

My worst experience was seeing a grown man berate a 10 year old in the other team's jersey and watching other Bills fans cheer him on. Absolutely disgusting. 

That’s wrong no matter what sport it is.. why do people forget it’s just a game?!  We watch for entertainment and hopefully have a fun time at the field.  

 

Worse thing I saw was on the Pop Warner field where a group parents from the other team kept swearing and saying “they need cripple that little bleep! He has to hurt get in on the quarterback like that!”  (They were talking about my son.. took a lot of restraint not to yell at them and create a scene.)

It's not just a game. That's the most ridiculous argument. To the players on the field, and actually, the entire organization, it's about careers and livelihood.

It is just a game. At the end of the day, nobody is bleeding and dying. Try using that argument to a combat soldier, an EMS or Police Officer.

 

 They are getting paid a lot of $$$ to play the sport they love. We are paying them for our amusement through ticket sales, merchandise, etc. There is no excuse for the way some of these fans behave. That guy that berated a 10 yr old little girl (read patricheat fan from nh's post) should be ashamed of himself, and the fans that cheered him on as well.

Umm I was talking about the fans in the stands??  It’s not our livelihoods or careers.. there is no need act like little jerks in the stands ever.. boo yes swear and flipping the. Off is just childish and goes against a lot of stadium rules that are on your ticket.

Because every ticket states they can remove you from your seat and the stadium for acts not in accordance with their fan code of conduct (then in fine fine print it tells you exactly what that is) simple fact is the first amendment right only protects you from the Goverment stopping you, not  from any consequences of your actions.  For example I can yell “Trump is stupid” and the goverment can’t arrest me for it, but my boss can fire me for it if he feels that hurts his company.  

 

Key pojnt being “arrest”  what they did was not illegal and in a very liberal state like CA what they did was at best wrongful imprisonment and if they really wanted to stretch it Kidnapping.

The first amendment right of "Free Speech" I thought pertained to government.  You're allowed to peacefully protest the U.S. government.  Am I wrong about that?  

 

It does not protect all speech against sports teams, the workplace or wherever.  There are consequences to shouting obscenities and flipping off....and the organization can choose to enforce whatever they need to.   That's what I think.

Was at a game, not a Giants, when a lout was asked to leave and got hostile with security and wound up having his toupee torn off his head.

You have the right to free speech, but you are responsible for those things said. And if those things are against a policy that a place, you are being let into to view their product, that company has the right also to kick you out.

Those Giants fans should be sued for being idiots.

 

personally, I’ve never booed another man.  It’s weird.  What kind of loser do you need to verbally abuse another human?  Because you paid money? What a joke some people are.

 

and id also be in favor of saying whatever you want as long as players can go after you. So many cowards in the stands and on social media.  I think the world would benefit from more talk ?, get hit.

I can’t imagine bringing kids to a Footbsll game and that’s so sad.

That’s fine.  Personally, I feel weird booing another man but that’s me.  I also heard there were some other pretty awful comments being said but I wasn’t there.

You have no idea what they did or didn’t do. Lazy, ineffective, DA’s offices around the country dismiss these types of crimes all the time.

 

I sure hope your profession isn’t in the legal field because you don’t know what you are speaking about. Not to mention you are taking their account of what happened as being what truly happened.
