Toronto maple Leaf hockey fans are so disgusted by their recent performance, they've been displaying their displeasure by tossing their Leaf's jerseys on the ice during the game. Well, now that practice could get you charged with trespassing and banned from the arena for a year. Do you agree with this policy?
Yes, it is a safety hazard for all the players and should be handled strongly

No, tossing your jersey on the ice is just a show of displeasure and nothing more

No way--if you pay high prices for tickets, why should you be charged with trespassing and banned?

Fans have always shown their displeasure when watching the games, throwing items such as food (waffles) or putting paper bags over their heads and booing. Do you think these types of behavior are disrespectful to the game and team in general? Yes, unruly displays such as this are very disrespectful

Of course, there are times when hats are thrown onto the ice to celebrate a three-goal game, or hat trick. "Throwing hats onto the ice after a hat trick is an accepted tradition across the league," Dave Haggith, (spokesperson for Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment) said in an email. "Security and game operations staff are prepared on such occasions, minimizing safety and game interruption issues." Could there not be those same rules and regulations in place then for jersey tossing? Of course there could

After a long losing streak, the Leafs finally won a game. But, instead of their customary hockey stick salute to their fans following their win, the team instead skated off the ice, without even an acknowledgement of their fans. What is your opinion on this? Very disrespectful to their fans who have continued to support them no matter what
