This might border on going into the "anything goes" section but I removed myself from that.

I am half Mexican, half white (mostly Irish), I hate racism, I've heard racist stuff, it's disgusting. A lifetime ban? I feel this is an overreaction from the Adam Jones situation. Where does the slippery slope end? If a fan talks about a player's wife? Mom? Kids? I've been to several games where fans of said awful things to players. I went to a Yankees/A's game where a fan said terrible things to Dewayne Wise in front of security and nothing happened. I think kicking a guy out for one game is fine, but lifetime just seems ridiculous to me
