How can fans protest officiating at games to make impression on league office?

I'd like to start a thread to come up with ideas on what we can do while we are at games to bring as much heat on the officials as possible when they make such biased calls/noncalls, specifically on Yao.

I was thinking about calling out the Red Rowdies, trying to get some of them to throw beer on the floor or something like that in protest of obviously bad officiating in games like today's, but that would probably lead to their tickets being revoked or something. Wouldn't want anyone to lose their seats.

But there has to be something the fans can do collectively to bring more attention to the horrible officiating on Yao.

Games like today happen way too often. If it was just one game where there was a missed call down the stretch, then it really wouldn't be that important. But the officiating on Yao has become consistently insane, and out of hand enough to start costing us games. Those noncalls today are simply not acceptable.

And I'm sick and tired of the league watching tape and then giving Yao one game where they call him fair, then the officials go right back to the bologna of not calling fouls against, letting guys push him around with 2 hands, hacking him repeatedly, bumping him on the jump shot. Then intentionally running into him on the other end and getting the whistle.

Ahhhhhhhh, enough of that. We've got half dozen threads going on about the bad calls/noncalls.

Seriously, what could we do collectively as a fan base to bring the most attention and call out the NBA on this issue?

Can we all learn to holler Bull....! in Mandarin or something like that to berate the officials when they are screwing us and Yao over???

What ideas can we come up with?? Signs???? Chants????? How can we the fan base have the biggest impact and get the most attention to this issue???

 

I'm not talking about the Red Rowdies. I said I was thinking of calling them out.

What I'm talking about is something that every fan in the arena can do together, some sort of chant, or some other collective action that would cause the officials to know the heat is on them.

These calls/noncalls are so ridiculous that in my opinion, you could even say the are being racially biased against Yao because he is Chinese, and not an American hothead. I really think they take advantage of Yao's good nature and it is easier for them to not make the calls then to constantly have to explain to the opposition why all that stuff they are doing to Yao are fouls. Yao's good nature allows them to take advantage of him.

Even the casual fan sitting in the upper deck could see those fouls on Yao today that were not called. And whether anybody wants to admit it or not, those noncalls cost us the game, plain and simple. You can rant about the fact we gave up 30 in the 4th, etc. But, bottom line is, if those fouls are called, there is no fast break 3 point play against us, and the whole complexion of the game down the stretch totally changes.

I am by no means an advocate of anything violent. But I really believe the officials have to be called out, made a spectacle of in the worst possible way because they cannot continue to alter the outcome of games. And I don't think it's out of the realm of reality that they are biased against Yao either:

1. Because he is from China. or
2. Because he is a very large person that gives him a distinct advantage since he has a very good basketball skillset.

I can think of NO OTHER REASON for them to officiate him that way. After you see this stuff go on this long, what else are we to conclude when we see this?

And if so, then the local beat writers, TV reporters, and us fans should be talking about it and drawing attention to it ad nauseum.

Haven't you heard those chants at sporting events when the home team is getting the screws put to them and the whole arena/stadium shouts in protest?

Orrrrrrrrrrrr, how about something as unique as coming up way to silence the whole crowd as a silent protest? Or, how about organizing all the fans to leave the arena before the game concludes? Just walk out in protest. Organize the fans, get media attention to it, and the next time an event occurs like what happens today, everyone walks out. Or, how about putting together an email letter and having it circulate on a website, so that 100 million chinese fans can copy it to the league office and bust their email box protesting the racially biased officiating????

I don't feel like I've really got any unique ideas. I'd like to hear other fans come up with something that is:

1. Unique
2. Gets enough attention that the national sports media picks up on it.
3. Can be organized to a mass fan base

Surely, somebody can come up with something.

Here's another thought. If it requires printing posters or signs and selling them or maybe a message on those gigantic hands or something that we can get into the mits of 10,000+ fans down at TC, maybe we could turn it into a fundraiser for the fan website. Sell the item and donate the profits to here. A good cause to really make a difference for our team and the money goes to run the website.
