During another loss for the New Jersey Nets (this time to the Heat 99-89), a man in the stands by the name of Chris Lisi wore a paper bag over his head. Brett Yormark, CEO of the Nets, passed the fan and apparently had a loud confrontation with him. Lisi claims it started when Yormark asked him why he had a bag over his head and then he replied in a sarcastic manner "because the Nets are so good."
First thing is simple and a basic rule that all management of a sports team should know by now: DON'T EVER YELL AT A FAN!!! Also don't do it in the middle of a game with the press around. It looks bad on you and the entire organization. Just be happy that a fan is even there considering that the Nets are close to getting the worst record in NBA History. Second thing is that a fan should be always allowed to show their displeasure with their team, especially at the games. It's every fans right to boo, to yell and (WTF) even curse (though it is probably not allowed at many venues). If you don't want you team to get more criticism, then do better and improve your team. I hear there are a few players available this off season.
P.S. Last thing is that I hope this trend catches on and fans start wearing bags again. This team is that bad.
