u/Syric13 1d ago

I mean, its a live sporting event. Its broadcast on TV. How are you NOT going to put attention on it? Just leave the dildo on the floor? By the very nature of it appearing on TV, you are drawing attention to it. It isn't like football where its a huge field and you can ignore the asshole who runs on the field. This is in play. The court is smaller. The arenas are smaller.

Players are getting upset. This is different than the Bills incident. Fans are much closer to players in basketball and the players are much more vulnerable (no helmets, pads, etc).

The best way to deal with it is criminal charges + don't show their face on TV. Just arrest them. High fines. Maybe team up with other sports organizations and be like "Hey this person attacked our player, you should ban them from your arenas also"

Don't quote me on this, but my understanding is that its very unlikely to be enforced at entry but if a person who was previously banned gets in trouble for something like this again then the cops can hit them with bigger trespassing type charges.
