I disagree.  Boorish louts should be tossed.  My rights to enjoy the game
without the swearing and harassment of any player are just as valid as some
kook who gets off on interfering with the players on the court.

The year of the Walker booing I had to stop taking my young kids to the
games.  This is an infringement on my rights as a ticket purchaser.

This is nonsense.  The ticket allows them to observe the game in a live
setting.  Not act like a donkey.  While I disagree with Kraft's canceling of
season tickets when a guest is inappropriate, the concept of tossing out
those who infringe on others rights to watch the game I agree with.

If it has, I will vote for him in 6 years.
