Unruly fans must pass code-of-conduct exam to return to games

The NFL hatched during the 2011 playoffs the brilliant (and that's not sarcastic . . . for a change) idea of putting undercover cops in the visiting team's gear in order to catch those who would subject fans of the visiting team to mistreatment.  The NFL has a somewhat less brilliant idea for determining when and if unruly fans back into games.

According to Gary Buiso of the New York Post, the NFL will require fans ejected from games to pass an online code of conduct exam before they can return.

The test will be administered upon completion of a four-hour online course, which costs $75.  To pass the test, the fans must answer correctly at least 70 percent of the following brain-twisting (sarcasm) true-or-false questions:  "Every fan has a right to like any team they wish.  Using abusive language towards fans who support teams you don't like will not be tolerated."

The program was first used in 2010, at MetLife Stadium and Gillette Stadium.

It makes sense to give fans a second chance, especially at a time when the NFL desperately wants fans to choose to attend games.  But, again, a second chance gone bad can become the foundation of a lawsuit.  If the NFL allows a fan who has been flagged for abusive behavior back into the building based on the outcome of a least-common-denominator online test and the fan inflicts injury at some point in the future, the NFL, the team, and/or the stadium will face the argument that the powers-that-be negligently failed to protect the injured fan from someone they knew or should have known to be a potential source of violence.

Of course, those claims will likely be covered by insurance.  And it's far easier to pay the premiums if you let unruly fans buy tickets — especially after they fork over an extra $75 for the privilege of doing so.

I can foresee a time where I will give up on pro sports

Somebody should alert DH about this immediately. His days of attending games might be over.

Ha! Yep... I immediately thought of him when I read that.

My Aunt was walking out of a Walmart in Port St. Lucie Florida where she lives when a lady tried to rob her at knife point. A passer by stepped in to assist and was stabbed in the throat. He's going to be fine but the lady is still on the loose. I'll post the article as soon as she forwards it to me.

Couple of things..

1. My wife is not black. I once told some racist farg at the linc that she was after he dropped the N bomb 100 times and threw his arm around me and said something like "you know what Im talking about"
2. farg that code of conduct shtein. Making friends with all the security in my section after that undercover incident last year will keep me out of trouble - if not, I'll change my name to Shlomo and assume a whole new identity.
3. I wish my wife was black.

[Diomedes]

As far as I'm concerned, she is.

Well done, bro.
