Would this work for football?

American football fans in the United States have been told they must take a four-hour online course costing $75 (£47) if they are kicked out of a game for unruly behaviour.

The rules, which apply to most NFL teams, see those who fail to take the course, or achieve the 70% pass mark, arrested for trespassing if they are found at another game.

One of the 14 topics of the course is entitled "skills for becoming less impulsive and improving judgment" and another five deal with alcohol.

Dr Ari Novick, who developed the course and also runs one for Major League Soccer, told the New York Post: "We're not trying to squash anyone's passion. We're just trying to say don't be violent."

Daniel DeLorenzi, security chief of MetLife Stadium - the shared home of the New York Giants and Jets - also demands a letter of apology before allowing re-entry.

He said: "Most of the time, they apologise for their behaviour."

Novick takes $55 (£35) for each test taken, with charities receiving the remainder.

Sample questions

Behaving badly towards other fans, such as fighting, swearing or threatening them, is OK as long as they deserve it. (Answer: False)

Every fan has a right to like any team they wish. Using abuse language towards fans who support teams you don't like will not be tolerated. (Answer: True)

 

Banned ... never to be rescinded!

 

It's a dark day when even Medro can't be arsed doing the obvious Lennon gag.

 

He'll be leading up to it ...

 

What happens if you continue to act a dick but also continue to pass the test?

 

Exhibit A, your honour.

 

Then you automatically become a Celtic fan.

 

You should try it ER. You were obviously one of the 80's glory-hunters that haven't been to a Dons game since 88'

Might be nice to sample success again.

This

 

How often do you go to Legoland speccy? In fact have you ever been glory hunter?

 

I've been going since 1992, went to the old Celtic Park, then Hampden and make it to about 10 home games a season on average.

How often do you get down to watch the bottom six 2nd best?

 

Not missed a game since 72.

Also witnessed European success unlike you four eyes.

 

All lies, unless you're actually about 65 years old.

 

That's it then. A $75, 4 hour, online course will cure public disorder. They've just solved a major global problem.

 

Born in 65. I will let you work that out glory hunter.

 

Born in 65 on the "South Coast of England"......
