BrownIndian Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 NFL fans who get punished will have to pass a test to return The NFL has a recent history of cracking down on violence in the stands by unruly fans. The league will take it a step further this season. Unruly fans kicked out this year will not be able to return to the stadium for a game until they pass a code-of-conduct exam. New York Post reporter Gary Buiso writes the idea was hatched by a licensed psychotherapist, The Post has learned. “We’re not trying to squash anyone’s passion. We’re just trying to say don’t be violent,” said Dr. Ari Novick (right), the Californian who’s the brains behind the program. Requirements will vary depending on the stadium, but most of the time the stadium louts will have to pass the test before being allowed back in, he said. The classes, writes Buiso, are an effort to stem the rising tide of ugly stadium behavior that has included everything from bare-knuckle brawls to lewd Jets fans who screamed obscenities at women until they exposed their breasts in a rude Gate D tradition at the old Giants Stadium.

All the more reasons to watch the game from your local bar and support the local business. Go Great Lakes Beer!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
