It is with great regret that we must inform you of the suspension imposed by the NFL on certain members of the Denver Broncos fanbase. As an organization committed to upholding the integrity of the game and fostering a safe and respectful environment for all fans, players, and staff, we take disciplinary actions seriously.
After careful review of recent incidents involving Denver Broncos fans, the NFL has determined that certain behaviors have violated our Code of Conduct and Fan Code of Conduct. These actions include but are not limited to:
- Disruptive behavior: Instances of unruly conduct within stadiums or in public spaces associated with NFL events, including excessive use of profanity, physical altercations, or harassment of other fans.
- Violation of stadium policies: Failure to comply with stadium rules and regulations, including prohibitions on bringing prohibited items into the venue, trespassing onto restricted areas, or refusal to follow instructions from stadium personnel.
- Online harassment: Engaging in derogatory or threatening behavior towards players, coaches, officials, or fellow fans through social media platforms or other online forums.
- Vandalism or property damage: Destruction or defacement of property, including stadium facilities, team merchandise, or public infrastructure.
- Illegal activities: Participation in criminal activities, such as trespassing, assault, or theft, before, during, or after NFL events.
The NFL views these actions as serious breaches of conduct that undermine the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie that we strive to promote within our fan communities. As such, the following disciplinary measures have been enacted:
- Temporary suspension of attendance privileges: Individuals identified as engaging in the aforementioned behaviors will be prohibited from attending Denver Broncos games and other NFL events for a specified period.
- Mandatory behavioral education: Those affected by the suspension will be required to complete educational programs focused on fan conduct and sportsmanship before their attendance privileges can be reinstated.
- Enhanced security measures: The NFL and its partner organizations will implement heightened security protocols to prevent future instances of misconduct and ensure the safety of all attendees.
We understand that the vast majority of Denver Broncos fans are passionate and respectful supporters of their team, and it is our hope that these measures will serve as a deterrent to those who would otherwise engage in disruptive or harmful behavior. We remain committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all fans and appreciate your cooperation in upholding the principles of fair play and mutual respect.
