The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t seem like the type of team that would be uber police-y with their fans. After all, they didn’t get upset when one fan made, um, certain gestures with thundersticks all up on national television.
But I suppose I could be wrong, as proved by the Jaguars recent decision to start revoking season tickets for fans that misbehaved.
The Jaguars announced on Wednesday the team has rescinded the tickets of Antonio Martinez, James Cotton and Shaun Perkins. All three men were arrested after police said they attacked a security guard.
According to police, the fight started after one of the men was told he wouldn’t be sold any more beer.
According to the police report, Martinez tried to hit the security guard and missed, and then “the guard pushed the suspect away in self-defense but was then grabbed by Mr. Martinez and taken to the ground.”
On the other hand, this is the sort of fan behavior — starting fights because the team won’t let you get drunker — that should be abolished, so I totally back the Jags reaction.
Oh, and also, Perkins, who may or may not have a problem with drinking, decided to go all Legion of Doom on the security guard and bash him over the head with a wooden folding chair while he was laying on the ground. It’s pretty safe to say that anytime you hit a security type person over the head with a chair, trouble is going to follow you. Stay classy, J-ville.
