FElton Protest New Year's Eve

I’m pretty sure that if you do anything that involves throwing things they would kick us out. As I said I will be on the lowest level in Staples and with attendance the way it has been I could possibly move to 3-4 rows from the court. I like the idea of taping over the B and the D and wearing the jerseys backwards it would sort of be like a uniform. Maybe if anyone goes to a game in the next few days they could ask the ushers if they would kick us out for throwing the shirts on court. The ushers seem pretty cool and probably would understand our anger towards FElton.

Turn the jersey around, cross out the B and the D (Ran), and above that put FElton….
and add a bunch of $$ everywhere….
Almost 100% positive no one can throw anything on to the court without getting kicked out. They even say so before every game.
How about some coordinated chants?

I will be there wearing something like…..

Front: Thanks* for the memories #42
Back: Memories of you LYING, and DECEIVING, and RUNNING….. something like that.

Front: FElton

Front: Thanks Philly
Back: Maybe it wasn’t us after all !!!!

Front: ELTON BRAND
Back: Bringing you losing seasons since 1999..

Lol. That made me laugh out loud.

All good points/ideas. I think the main thing is that we must do SOMETHING

As far as the jersey throwing is concerned:

Getting kicked out would be a possibility that we would have to embrace pre-toss.
I think the potential for getting thrown out is there, but it will be greatly affected by how many people are actually taking part. If there are 3 dudes tossing dozens of jerseys, they will be shown the door with certainty.
But if there are, say, 40, 50 individuals all taking part simultaneously, what the hell are the ushers going to do? I know, I know… organizing something of this size is probably am impossibility. But picturing it gives me the best kind of butterflies in my stomach. It would be so ridiculously fantastic and appropriate.
I, like CS wont be able to go to the game (most likely) so I can’t really lead the charge. It’s somewhat unfair for me even to suggest it.

Something to think about… Red Wings fans (I think it’s the Red Wings, but I’m no hockey fan) have a well known tradition of throwing octopus onto the ice. The stadium banned the activity within the last couple seasons… yet the octopus (octopi? octopodes?) continue to fly. I think jerseys would be considered an extremely toned down version of this. And with much more meaning to back up the act.

I think the custom t-shirts are a great plan ‘B’. Definitely less risky.

According to the Wikipedia article, NHL will arrest fans that throw octopus onto the rink…I am assuming, after the Detroit-Pacers brawl, this is especially true nowadays!…Getting kicked out is one thing, but getting arrested and charged for FElton? CS won’t get too many hits come NY’s day if half his Citizenry is in the pen!
But I admit, it would be a beautiful site to see…

I can guarantee you that the ushers will run up to you and not only ask you to leave, but call someone to escort you to leave. I went to a game not too long ago when someone swung their arm back to throw something and the usher grabbed his arm and called security to escort him out, not only for that game, but for life.

Bottom Line: DO NOT.

but we should probably do some coordinated chanting or something like every time
Felton goes to the FT line or something.

Being banned for life??? Doubtful… my friend was “banned from Dodger Stadium for life”. (for throwing a ball on the field, and he deserved all the negative attention he got. REALLY STUPID MOVE) But he still attends at least 20 games a season. It’s not like they have a “Staples Center Most Wanted List” with pictures of people who have caused trouble.
I’m not advocating anything stupid or dangerous. Keep it clean. Keep it safe.

I have to disagree with “Firedunleavy.com”… “Anything other than booing is pointless”. Huh? What makes booing so worthwhile? Not that I never boo… just don’t see why this is the only form of protest that has merit .

You can buy a pig head from filipino restaurants. There is a dish called Lechon which is a whole roasted pig (head included). I think that would help us get over the vomitting aspect CS pointed out.

The real problem is bringing outside food (which I guess a pig head would count) into Staples.

I’m a partial season ticket holder so I’m in for any FElton bashing activities.

going to cheer Elton for all the hard work he gave us fans every game he played. I don’t harbor nearly the disgust for him that I did for Kandyman who rarely put in a good days work. In the end I think he did us a favor, I know I’d rather have Camby and Randolf then just EB.

just going to boo him. It isn’t that he left that angers me, it is how he left. He had us going that he was going to stay, and then at the last second changed his mind. That is why I am going to boo him and whatever other stuff I choose to do.

I have 3 FElton jerseys, and I would love NOTHING more than to throw all 3 of them on the court, but I don’t want to get kicked out of the joint.. I’m probably going to leave the game early, because I’m attending an NYE party, so maybe I’ll do it before I leave! LOL

I’ll be in the lower bowl, so I would totally do it for the fans that tossed them down, if it didn’t result in me being ejected.
