Obnoxious behavior at sporting events
quote:
Yes, you can. And you cannot be arrested or detained or even charged for saying such things.

I think I fully agree with Jazzns' position, however, I think it might be within the rights of the management of the sports arena to have the offender removed from the arena. Especially if there are rules of behavior posted, such as being printed on the ticket stub.

Gray areas / Context is everything
It two different situations, the precise same words might be directly aimed at one person by another. In one context they might be harmless, even friendly chatter. In another context, they might rightfully be considered a harmful threat. And these two contexts might well blur into each other.
