"Firstly, there are lines we do not cross as fans, this includes being physical, hostile, or in any way disrespectful to opposing fans, players, coaches etc," Odige continued, explaining that there were reports that a fan had thrown a large poster at one of the opposing team’s players or coaches. "Things such as f-bombs, n-words, and other slurs being thrown around are downright unacceptable, and the privilege of sitting behind the benches will be revoked if this behavior continues."
