fans and home games

[tyrant]

Question!

Should fans of the visiting team be able to express themselves however they want?

Scenario: you live in california, or you live somewhere else, but you're a fan of a california team. you're at a 49ers game, or a sacramento kings game. you're in 49er stadium cheering on the niners and there's this loud and annoying baltimore ravens fan. the home crowd is cheering on the 49ers, but this fan is consitantly talking crap about them. saying that "california sucks" "f... the 49ers" and so on and so on.

a. should he/she be approached by security and asked simply to calm down
b. should he/she be ignored
c. or should he/she be kicked out of the stadium

If he is using profanity, then he should be warned. If he continues doing that, then he should be kicked out. But this shouldn't be specific to visitors, if you're a home team fan and using profanity, that should also apply to you.

Other than that, I think every fan has the right to express him/herself freely. If home team fans are good and noisy enough, that person will not be heard at all in the first place.

Agreed. Fans gotta remember to have a little respect of those around them (cussing, derogatory comments, etc.).

But everyone should also respect a fan's rights to yell and scream as long as it isn't creating a "disturbance".

You got it gocmen, that sums it up for me. unfortunately my only first hand experience of this sort of thing is with soccer matches in England (and you can probably read 'Europe' for that matter). He isnt sat there on his own being the loud mouth idiot, he's the ringleader of a contingent of offensive, agressive 'away fans' who will hurl obsenities, racial abuse and their plastic seats at you given half a chance. You cant reason with that sort, and if the less than friendly banter does spill over to the car park / train station then that's a location to avoid.
