OK...new rules for fans at the game: Don't be rude, don't get drunk, don't go on the field, don't throw stuff, follow directions and don't talk nasty talk. More details and blah, blah at the linky. Maybe they should worry more about the players and their criminal records, alcohol use, steriods, shooting people and themselves?

Hey...only one month to opening day!
Please ping the NFL Ping List?
Let’s BEHAVE in the stands, wouldn’t want the NFL to get a nasty rep from the FANS would we...???
Go Bears!
How about the plethora of penitentiary wanna-be’s out on the field, and the puerile, pre-school level clown show, ME-celebration that we must endure after nearly every play.
When I saw this the first thing I thought was that the players break those rules on the sidelines all the time. If they can’t control the players how do they expect to control the crowd?
Well, they've done such a wonderful job with the players......
Quiet!
The stands in Oakland will be empty. Go Niners!
Which is different from normal...how? Oh right...normally just the skulls in the stands are empty ;).
Yeah...I’m a Lions fan...shoot me.
NFFL
Add an extra “F”
Not Fan-Friendly League..
Aka
No Fun League
I’ve not attended very many pro football games (two actually...one in Indianapolis and one in Baltimore), but the number of folks I saw getting hauled away in the NUMEROUS ambulances around the stadium due to alcohol poisoning was pretty eye-opening.
From the limited sample size I determined that football fans are quite a bit different than fans of other sports.
Looks like they’ll be emptying the stadium in Philly!
Lots of stories could be told. One time, when the Broncos kicked Oakland’s butt,some fans.... ........
Just half-way kidding. LOL
The criminals are on the field, not in the stands.

Put it on my ticket.
Until then, kiss my butt...
Why is this necessary?
Why is a league rule needed for a local situation, like drunk and disorderly fans?
Haven’t people been getting thrown out for misbehavior at the discretion of the ushers, security and local police all along?
Looks good to me. It should be safe for everyone to be in the stands — and not distracting from the game for players and TV viewers. They look like very easy standards of conduct for any public event.
The opposite is to get like some European football “fans” have gotten.
Empty Oakland Stadium ping!
Ping FYI...
More NFL looneyness...
Yep, the local stadium security (the state) being told what to do by the Nanny State (Fed Gubmint)...
Go Bears!
You oughta see the hockey fans.
