Cam Newton rips Packer fans banner

[Mondo Jay]

I am surprised anyone gives a fuck about this.

This was an act of gamesmanship, but you want to call Cam a petulant child?

Yes he is a petulant child.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Yes he is a petulant child.

LOL! The NFL is FULL of them... and the Cowboys have more than their fair share.


I'm also quite certain that had it been Romo, you'd be high-fiveing your buddies, and calling the fan a cry-baby.

I just can't see Romo doing something like that. He plays golf. When was the last time you saw a golfer go into the gallery and grab something from a fan?

Maybe he'd send his caddy?


But my point is, there are plenty of "children" playing the game.

The scary thing is that a lot of these children likely have brain damage.

Of course I wouldn't have been giving folks the high five for such childish behavior. Tony wouldn't be that immature as to take a fan's banner and destroy it.

I think you are assuming too much by saying that stadium policy trumps everything. If this went to court, a judge would decide the validity of the stadium policy, and even if the judge found it valid, the judge would then look at whether the stadium policy was followed properly and whether any contractual rights or property rights were violated.

If the Panthers don't settle this now, it will wind up in court because let's face it, pretty much anyone can file a lawsuit over anything, unless a person has previously been declared a vexatious litigant. The most likely outcome is that whomever is legal counsel for the Panthers will tell them that this whole thing is not worth it and to just pay the guy $500 and give him free tickets. Why would the Panthers' lawyer want to waste time and money doing legal research and preparing legal pleadings to defend a lawsuit? On top of that, why would the Panthers let this drag out and possibly subject Cam to going to court?

There is substantial case law already on the books in regard to stadium policy and the legal fine print on the back of the ticket. He would lose.

He will get a replica of his banner, and that will be the end of it.

 

[NEPatsfan]

No. It doesn't work that way.



Again you are simply wrong. You DO have a right. That right can be rescinded if you violate the T&Cs of the ticket. Security has a right to confiscate signs if the owner doesn't take it down. They don't have a right to keep it.



One more time. I started this thread. You came into this thread with a contrarian argument against what I said. So for you to call me a contrarian is simply hypocritical.

In a word you are, Wrong.

Give me the legal citations for these cases. Sometimes fine print does not hold up in a court of law because, like you said, it is fine print.

 

[codycmon]

two types of people are upset about this;
1. bitter packer fans
2. idiots

a lot of type 2's still posting, i see.

 

[Dude]

Yes he is a petulant child.

Don't be so harsh, Cam is a child, he's having fun and that a tall order for NFL QB.

 

[Anointed One]

As much as a I dislike Cam, I have no problem w/ him ripping down a sign in his house... I'd probably do the same thing...

In the realm of speculation, what would you be saying if Tony did something like that?

He has too much integrity and class to do such a childish thing. Tony respects the fans.

You must be on the same maturity level as him.

Vandalism is your idea of fun?

 

[CarlSr]

I am surprised anyone gives a fuck about this.

Welcome to a society filled with walking, talking vaginas.

 

[Dude]

Frankly, I do not consider it vandalism or fun. Amusing that people get so worked up about something so silly.
