On any night, John Stockton’s name and No. 12 jersey can be seen hanging from a banner in the south-facing rafters at McCarthey Athletic Center. But Gonzaga and its most prominent alumnus are at odds over the school’s mask mandate, leading Gonzaga to suspend Stockton’s season tickets at home basketball games.
In an interview with The Spokesman-Review on Saturday at The Warehouse — the Spokane-based gym Stockton has owned since 2002 — the NBA’s all-time assists and steals leader, and one of only two players who’s had his number retired by Gonzaga, confirmed the university’s decision to suspend his season tickets for failing to comply with the mask mandate.
Stockton said Gonzaga Athletic Director Chris Standiford notified him of the university’s decision in a conversation the Naismith Basketball Memorial Hall of Fame point guard described as “congenial” but also “not pleasant.”

I doubt if mask mandates were part of the season ticket when he purchased them. Legal battle?
From Brussels to Washington DC to Gonzaga...it’s a wonderful day for the #Resistance.
Good basis for a breach of contract suit.
Make those MFr’s pay. That’s the only way this BS ends.
Apparently, Gonzaga hasn’t received the memo that midterms are approaching, and it’s time for Covid to end.
Gonzaga University is a liberal cesspool. The law school refused to recognize a pro-life student organization several years ago. I haven’t given them a penny since my last tuition check.
Gonzaga wasn’t “forced” to do anything. The Times pretends their decision was something other than an arbitrary bureaucratic fiat.
My dad went to Gonzaga. I wondered what he’d think now?
Cut off the big donations, they’ll come around.
Our local liberal college requires masks & 3 VAXXes to see a basketball games.

Well SHEET...Falsi was photographed at a sporting event...and no one cancelled his ass.
Exhibiting the mind that was Stockton/Malone.
——they cancelled his TICKETS? That takes a special kind of stupid to even think that up. I can see that really, really, helping enrollment. Do they offer a degree in “thinking up really stupid stuff”? No doubt call it a Bee eeS? They are up US 95 so I guess they’ve been infiltrated by Kalifornicators?
They were “forced” to suspend his season tickets .... really, they were forced? They chose.
They didn’t cancel his tickets; they suspended them. This is because Governor Inslee’s unconstitutional edicts. He’s more mentally challenged than even Biden.
