Tell me, are there instances of sober, albeit enthusiastic, fans who are issued citations and even carted off to jail by the KPD for refusing to sit when authorities instruct them to do so? Some posts appear to insinuate this is actually the case. If this is verifiably true, then Neyland Stadium has become an Orwellian arena lorded over by none other than Big Brother himself. Such abuse of authority always merits citizen retaliation in the form of a mighty hefty measure of civil disobedience.
Established and clearly articulated rules of conduct are one thing. (In fact, they are needed in a setting where 100,000 people are squeezed together in butt-to-belly fashion.). A person of authority making up those rules on the fly is another thing because doing so leads to chaos and blatant abuse of power. We should never tolerate such abuse regardless of where it occurs.
Of course, I admit I am a child of the 60's, so some will view me as being over the top on this issue.
