Update damn
https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2023/03/college-coaches-ads-could-be-suspended-for-bad-fan-behavior-under-proposed-oregon-house-bill.htmlUnder the proposed bill, coaches such as Dan Lanning, Jonathan Smith, Dana Altman and Scott Rueck and athletic directors such as Rob Mullens and Scott Barnes could face one-week suspensions if fans at Oregon or Oregon State games “engage in the use of derogatory or inappropriate names, insults, verbal assaults, profanity or ridicule in violation of equity focused policies.”
A state law regulating fan behavior in which college coaches and athletic directors would face suspensions would be unprecedented. As written, the bill does not address who is the arbiter of the fans’ behavior or if violators have to have an allegiance to a public university in the state, potentially creating an incentive for opposing fans to act egregiously and under the guise of being aligned with a state school in order to prompt suspensions against UO or OSU coaches and athletic directors.
The University of Oregon and the Pit Crew, Oregon’s student section, issued apologies for the incident, which was condemned by then-Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and then-interim UO president Patrick Phillips. Mullens and Lanning also apologized and condemned the incident.
Government overreach hits home! Crazy
