NBA Issuing Hand-out Warnings To All Fans?

December 5, 2013

Is it sad we now live in a society where you can’t even heckle your least favorite player or referee for their performance on the court?

One fan posted this picture of his paper-warning before their game even started. It appears that all fans — at least near the court — are getting these.

In the NBA’s defense I realize why they might have to take some sort of stand against poor fan behavior. There is always that .1 percent that makes the rest of us look bad. And heckling can easily turn into an abusive, drunken stupor if one is not careful. After all, we don’t want another ‘malice in the Palace,’ even though that was more than a decade ago.

Still, these handouts are interesting.
