it is illegal to stand up at a game??? that's the only way a police officer can order you to sit down. they don't have unlimited powers.
A cop can't give a person a ticket for disobeying a lawful order if the person is not breaking a law to begin with, even if they do it would get thrown out in court every time. We could ask someone to sit down but if they said no then that would be the end of it. The only thing I could see happening would be if the person didn't just say no but was loud, cussing, and causing a big scene about it then there would be room for disorderly contact but that's about all I can see legally happening.
Yeah I'm sure all these awesome recruits want to go play in a stadium where everyone sits half the game.
It's part of it. Get over it.
If the person in front of me stands and I want to see, I stand as well. If the person in front of me is sitting, I sit as well. When I arrive, I take note of the folks behind me. If they are elderly or very young and small, I do all I can to sit as much as possible. Since I'm very unique and talented, I can actually cheer just as loudly from a seated position as I can while standing. Bottom line.....respect those around you. Don't be a selfish, self absorbed prick.
A cop can write you a ticket for disobeying his order. If he tells you to sit and you refuse, have fun showing up to court and paying that fine + court costs
I see both sides of the issue. However if you were at movies and the person in front of you in a packed house stood up the entire time how would you feel?
