PHILADELPHIA – Latest news reports have featured a Phillies fan getting tased by stadium security and another getting subdued after they both ran on the field during a baseball game.
Critics across the states have been harsh on the violence executed by the police department by the tasing, deeming it unnecessary because the fan wasn’t armed. The police chief hasn’t let up on his stance though, saying the officer did everything withing the rule book and didn’t violate any code nor cross the line by tasing the fan. Infact, he has even boasted that they’ve stepped up efforts lately with their security at the stadium, calling them a ‘top of the line’ staff.
He then played some radio chatter for us that was intercepted before last nights game. It was a cell phone call between another kid and his dad asking him if it was OK for him to run across the field. “Our agents identified the kid before the game started and detained him immediately.” The security has clearly taken a no nonsense approach to protecting the players from the fans. There are snipers perched across the top of the stadium now and they will be there each game for the remainder of the season. Their contracts though only lasts until August, which we found kind of odd, as if the Phillies don’t plan to have any games during the post season.

CLEVELAND- On the Eve, of the 2nd game of the series between Chicago and Cleveland, Noah was issued his punishment for what he said about Cleveland.
For those who weren’t aware, Noah quipped about Cleveland and how he wasn’t enjoying his time there. He also jested at the notion that ‘Cleveland sucks’. This apparently got fans and media native to Cleveland riled up and the attention of this has even managed to reach league management including David Stern.
When asked about what kind of punishment is in hand, a spokesperson for the Bulls said they were looking at forcing Noah to live in Cleveland for a day. “A financial penalty won’t teach Noah that what he did was wrong! Neither will a league suspension! We’ve got to really drill this lesson to him and we believe, forcing him to live in Cleveland will make him a new man once he’s out.”
This whole idea of penalty was unforseen and alot of people felt it was too extreme. Even Cleveland fans felt sorry for Noah having to live in Cleveland. “I know I live in Cleveland too and all but, seriously? c’mon guys.. it’s just jokes” said a Bob Wright, a Cleveland native and basketball fan.
