NFL Institutes 'Electronic Lifeline' to Prevent Stadium Bullying
In an effort to police inappropriate behavior at NFL games, league officials have implemented an 'electronic lifeline,' by which fans can text message complaints to stadium security, the New York Times reports.The rationale behind this decision should be apparent to anybody who has attended a sporting event with family in tow. Inevitably, a family will encounter loud, drunken, vulgar fans in a situation that can become terribly embarrassing, if not threatening. In those situations, there is no attractive recourse for a protective parent or spouse, as confrontation escalates the tension and physically calling on security does the same. Mercifully, this new system allows for an anonymous, non-confrontational solution.
Apparently, the security measure has found success already, with some teams' owners going so far as to relieve offenders of their season tickets.
Now, if we could only have a similar system in place for college football. Not that anybody drinks at college football games... [From: New York Times]

A.) This isn't new. Dolphin Stadium has had a text line for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
B.) You are using the now defunct NFL logo. New one is almost a year old now also.
I guess this makes sense, AOL likes to stay about at least a year behind the times...

@Rob: no, not every place has to be 'family friendly'... but abusive, drunken behavior doesn't just affect families. A group of sloppily-drunk jerks harassing anyone is a problem.
