Cleveland Cavaliers, NBA plan extra security, apparel ban for LeBron James' return

In response to: Cleveland Cavaliers, NBA plan extra security, apparel ban for LeBron James' return

Lebron James is making his much bandied about return to the Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday, December 2nd in front of a National TV audience. Cleveland Cavalier management, along with the NBA, are planning on increasing the security levels tenfold - going as far as banning any "anti-Lebron" apparel.

Tad Carpenter, Cavalier Senior VP of Communiciations, stated the following: "We don't want to create a police state," We've always had a real energetic, super-charged home crowd and we want to encourage that for every game, including Dec. 2. We want people to enjoy themselves and express themselves, but we don't want fans to cross the boundaries of decency. We're not going to allow profanity and things like that. We'll have no tolerance for anyone trying to cross those boundaries."

What should be considered "decent" for such an event? Is a fan not granted the right to wear just about anything he/she wants to a game since they've spent their hard earned dollars to make these prima donna NBA stars wealthy? Are Lebron James' feelings going to be too hurt?
