Barclays Center implements new booze policies at Islanders games after brawl (VIDEO)

Barclays Center is planning to cut off serving booze earlier during future games in response to a viral video of an ugly brawl at Tuesday's Islanders game inside the Brooklyn arena.


Several witnesses in attendance at the Islanders-Panthers game claimed Barclays Center security roughed up some fans.


The man and woman, who have not been identified, were reportedly standing in a handicapped area when security stepped in. A scuffle ensued and a video shows a man on the ground surrounded by a number of blazer-wearing security personnel. Although the video shows fans going after the security personnel as well.


As a result of the scuffle, Barclays Center issued a statement on Friday outlining new measures for its staff and patrons at Islanders games following an altercation in the stands during Tuesday’s game.

“On Tuesday night, December 15, there was an altercation during an Islanders game when arena staff tried to restrict guests from accessing an unauthorized area,” the statement said. “Management immediately initiated an investigation, including reviewing all videos, meeting with staff and speaking to fans who were involved in, or witnessed, the incident. Law enforcement authorities were also notified of the incident. Any parties found to have acted inappropriately or in violation of arena policies, and of course the law, will be dealt with accordingly.”

Barclays Center is also implementing a five-point plan going forward:

*Reinforce security and guest services training with staff.

*Further communicate Barclays Center alcohol policies to fans, which includes two-drink-per-purchase limit.

*End beer and alcohol sales at the end of the second intermission.

*Convene season-ticket-holder focus groups within 30 days to discuss arena-fan relations.

*Remind all guests of Barclays Center’s zero tolerance for any type of racial or discriminatory language or behavior.

There will be no changes to the alcohol policy for Nets games or other events.

The NHL does not have a league-wide policy on when to end alcohol sales and leaves it up to each venue to make the call on last call.

NYPD hunting three men in Jets jerseys for wild St. Patty's Day brawl (VIDEO)

Three men wearing New York Jets jerseys are wanted for attacking two teens during a St. Patty’s Day brawl outside of a Midtown Manhattan pub before taking it on the lam.


The three men, wearing green and white Gang Green jerseys with the numbers 12, 87, and 23, got into a verbal argument inside of O’Brien’s Irish Bar and Restaurant on W. 46th St., according to officials from the NYPD. The arguments quickly turned violent in the street outside of the bar, as the two teenagers were punched and kickedby the attackers and beaten with bottles.

Pix11 reported reported that the two teens were transported to Bellevue Hospital with facial fractures after the pummeling.

NYPD released photos of the three attackers on Thursday.





One of the teens is left lying in the middle of the street after the attack, according to a video of the brawl, which was posted on Facebook by Anthony Rooar Decarlis.



B-E-E-R! Beer! Beer! Beer!

49ers fan in Kaepernick jersey gets decked during brawl in stands (VIDEO)

It's pretty much a given that Raiders and 49ers fans will get into fights during their team's respective games — whenever they play. So it was no shock when this clip turned up showing a bunch of Bay-area idiots going at it when they played each other in Oakland on Sunday.

Watch the dude in the Colin Kaepernick jersey get clocked with a left hand by a Raiders fan holding a beer in his right.



Only one question remains: What took so long for this video to get on social media?

Old guy kicks loudmouth ASU student section fan in face, students retaliate (VIDEO)

We know old people like the dry air of Arizona but, apparently, not the Arizona State and Arizona students that come with the territory. After a fan in the ASU student section pissed off this old guy, the situation escalated into a full-out brawl at last weekend's Duel in the Desert game.

The annoyed old guy does a perfect front-snap kick to the loudmouth's face then gets jumped by the surrounding students — but still manages to continue throwing haymakers at the punk kids.



Don't cut in front of the pudding line if this guy is standing there.
