ShakyWalton Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I never heard of this and looked for a current thread and couldnt find one but I find this absolutely unreal..really hard to believe but this story from Hockey Feed.... The Tampa Bay Lightning have taken another step down a very dark road. NHL hockey fans were already extremely upset when it was announced that the Lightning had placed a ban on opposing team jersey’s during their series against the Montreal Canadiens. Now it appears not only is the ban still in place for fans of the Rangers, but the Lightning are responding to complaints from fans in the arena snitching on Rangers fans in attendance. This tweet was sent out by a Lightning fan and as you can see the Lightning promplty responded. This isn’t a one time incident either, in fact fans are seeding the exact seat number to the Lightning to have the Rangers’ fans, or at least their jerseys removed.

JeremyCuddles Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I didn't realize hockey was so popular in Florida they could turn away customers because they cheer for the opposing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm actually curious how legal that would be. In certain areas, sure. In the whole arena....that's a lawsuit waiting to happen. It doesn't matter if it's private property....I'd like to see where they state this fact in their ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Disgusting move by Tampa. What about the fans of other teams who live in Tampa and only get to go to a game once or twice a year, if that? Tampa Bay has no right to throw out Rangers fans for supporting their team. Besides, most of Tampa's sale come from visiting fans of other teams. What a stupid move.

I'm sure they have some vague legal disclaimer on the back of the ticket that says they have the right to refuse admission to a patron for whatever reason the deem fit. Its a petty decision, but I'm sure the organization is protected from a lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltt Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Good. I hate the Rangers. Any injustice against them and their fans is a justice for the rest of us. Lets face it folks, of the 4 remaining teams only Tampa is not evil. #neverforget94/07/09/10/Keith/Kesler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
