Two Giants fans sue for right to heckle team using vulgarities

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

During a 2017 game between the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium, two Big Blue fans, brothers Kyle and Patrick Flynn, were forcibly removed from the game after belligerently berating the team and causing a scene.

While being restrained, Kyle Flynn fell over the railing and was allegedly Tased and choked by officers. That came on the heels of a warning over their vulgarities, including flipping the bird at Giants players on their sideline.

The brothers have filed a lawsuit claiming their First Amendment rights were violated and that stadium security and local police used excessive force.

The suit states that the incident occurred on Nov. 12, 2017, at a game between Big Blue and the Niners, won by San Francisco, 31-21. The Flynns, who were seated close to the field, reportedly shouted "You [expletive] suck" and flipped off members of the Giants, who were losing the game.

1. I like it.

Although you could clear out half of Staples and two thirds of The Pond if they did it in the NHL.

2. Happens in Philly all the time. No lawsuit needed

3. First Amendment Rights?

A private enterprise is not obligated to let someone say anything they please. The NYG are not a government entity.

These guys are idiots, and their lawyer is an ambulance chaser.

4. Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God given right!

5. There's been some ugliness in the brief history of Levi's Stadium ...

this could have led to worse. Security did the right thing. And these fans have no case.
