I’m over this story, this one ripe for stupid opinions of people who actually know neither side of the story first hand.
Move on.

I for one would watch tony brothers chew on laxative laced candy.

Part of me is sympathetic yet part of me thinks there’s more to it.
If you’re actually touching people it seems warranted but if it’s just being annoying not so much.

I’m surprised by all the support she’s getting online. It’s an unfortunate situation, but she clearly felt entitled to a different set of rules than every other fan in the building. It was only a matter of time before she made someone feel uncomfortable and when that happened, she ignored the warnings and requests from the team to stop.
It seems pretty cut and dry to me. If she just behaved like a normal fan, she’d still have her seats. Just because she got away with crossing boundaries for 30 years doesn’t mean she gets to do it forever.

I said the same thing on another article about this – I’ve seen her touch the players on their shoulders when they don’t high-five her, which is so not okay. If they don’t want to be high-fived, and she’s still touching them, seems to me that’s a violation of the “fan code of conduct.” I am not surprised by her ban and am sick of her acting like the victim and act as if she doesn’t have to abide by the rules.

There’s always nuance. After being the Denver fan of the year and being treated one way for decades makes it hard to adjust. I sat next to her one game and she was very nice, told wonderful stories, and helped me get an autograph. I think it’s easy to feel for someone in that situation. I get your point, but I also get their’s. It’s like talking foul calls with a fan for the other team. Can go back and forth on the rule of the foul vs how the games been called, etc but both have their POV.

Out of all things Nuggets related right now and as we prepare for the playoffs and hope to repeat as champions- this is near or at the very bottom of things I am concerned about as a Nuggets fan

When the team was at the bottom and nobody wanted even free tickets she was there, the team let her go on for years and now all of a sudden its a problem ? Also a lil bit shitty…
Look i get it, i dont like beeing touched like that, also giving candy out to other grown people is for one strange bahavior but more important its a saftey risk( i thought players would not be so stupid to consume anything given out by anonymous people in the stances but then the parade happened ) …
Why not just relocate her seats to an area where she cant make physical contact?

She probably bothered “the wrong people” however the franchise should have done better to make their longtime fan still feel welcome amidst rule changes.
