SALT LAKE CITY — Fan behavior at sporting events has become a topic of national discussion this week following comments made by Russell Westbrook.
Whether Westbrook is exaggerating or instigating the problem is beside the point. Fans everywhere at the professional and college levels, including here in Utah, are best served by displaying better decorum.
There have been too many instances across the country in which fans have crossed the line with athletes or coaches. At some point, a minority of fans have thought it has become acceptable to make inappropriate comments to the athletic participants.
It needs to stop.
