Fan Interference

Outside of cheering and booing, fans have have found their way into the highlight reels for all the wrong reasons: interfering with a ball still in play in baseball, attempting to trip a player when sitting courtside at a basketball game, or throwing flares onto the field in soccer, for example. Sometimes when fans are angry or upset they collectively throw garbage onto the court, field or rink. There are also those rare but memorable occasions when a fan is overly committed to playing the fool and wants to show their love of their team in the most disruptive and unnecessary way possible: running on during live play.
