While the other thread nominated the Chicago Bears, the general consensus is that this guy, Russell Beckman, is the true Douchebag of the story...

Wrong section, should be a shoutout.

Bears should be DB'd for this, pretty sad when you model your policies after the Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning.

He's a Douchebag for suing the Bears for a stupid reason. As others have stated, he's a "Bears season ticket holder" for one game and then to profit off the other 7...

How is it not accurate? Is he not being told he can't be in a certain place of the stadium because he is wearing the other team's gear? How is that different from Tampa telling fans they can't wear Hawks jerseys in certain sections?

False. Sounds like you didn't read the article you posted.

This is a special pregame perk to go to an area outside the seats. He still gets to do what he is guaranteed by his purchase of seats.

I read it and it quite clearly states he goes to only 1 game and sells as many of the others as he can...though with the team being bad he has to give some away, but when they were at least good to mediocre he probably had no issue selling them.

He's a dbag because he's clearly an attention whore ... probably figured on being kicked out too and the Bears were more than willing to indulge him this attention.

The Bears are dbags b/c they went fucking meatball - as a business organization - and ejected a guy for wearing a Packers jersey.

Really?

Makes as much friggin' sense as someone getting launched out of a McDonald's because they were wearing a Burger King crown or had red hair in pigtails.

buy his tickets, and then act like an asshole during the game and get thrown out... he'll lose his season tickets if it happens twice...

They didn't eject him though. They simply didn't grant him an extra privilege he had no right to based on a rule that should have been very easy to follow. He still could be in the seats he paid for. He just wasn't allowed on the field during pregame.

At least these teams have played in playoff games and in their sports Championship series over the last few years.

If they were banning him from his seats I would agree. Being an invited guest on the field is different.

Nah, the Bears come off like a really petty minor league baseball team or some shit. They're a charter franchise in the NFL. Act like it.

As I recall, the rules for this pregame thing don't state anything about required or forbidden attire. You just have to show up on time. The Bears are making up a rule to fit a circumstance they don't like.

Certainly, the Bears can do whatever they want but at the end of the day what difference does it make if one of the couple hundred people on the field wiggling the 4th phase banner is wearing a packers jersey?

The article said the rule was changed and made clear prior to him showing up.

After he had done it before, without incident.

rule changed in reaction to him being on the field at their invitation while wearing Packers gear for previous 2 years without incident.

Mickey Mouse move by a petty organization. Exactly like Tampa Bay and Nashville.

Makes them look awful and very small.

He's a teacher. He has the time. And the Bears aren't doing much this time of year either.

I don't know what kind of a person would do something like that. Obviously a very sick person. A very immature person. A person who has no regard for wasting other people's valuable time. Good-bye.

looks like he won... the bears caved.... and are just getting rid of the program to get out of the lawsuit.... so thanks russell beckman you fat piece of shit. i liked going on the field once a year pregame to hold the american flag...

The Bears should be DB'd for caving. They should have let the suit run its course, and then if they lost, canceled the thing.
