NFL makes ejected fans pass shrink's test to get into games

4/16/2012

So you had a few too many at a Jets vs. Patriots game, you cussed out the guy who showed up with his 6-year-old in identical Tom Brady jerseys, and security threw you out. Even if you have tickets for the next game and write an apology, you're not getting back in until you fork over $75 and take a fan conduct test designed by psychotherapist Ari Novick and being put into league-wide use by the NFL. Lest you think it might challenge the brainpower of the average fan/lout, not to worry. A sample true-false poser: "Behaving badly towards other fans, such as fighting, swearing or threatening them, is OK as long as they deserve it." Uh, all of the above?
