I don't know the student or his history. I didn't realize he had


threatened people.

As far as I know, he didn't do anything unlawful. I guess it comes down to one's interpretation of "disruptive" behavior. If booing officials and mocking opponents is "disruptive," then we should perhaps consider not having fans attend sporting events.

My concern is regarding the authoritarian nature of the reaction from the administrator. Kicked the student out, banned him from future games, and denied the student the opportunity to appeal her decision.

Perhaps we shouldn't be encouraging clowns to clown. Perhaps we also shouldn't be encouraging authoritarian technocrats to use power as if its the only lever of influence.
