Nets Sink to New Low: Nets CEO yells at Fan Wearing A Paper Bag on his Head

Just when you thought that things couldn't get worse for the New Jersey Nets, they find a way to sink to a new low.

During last night's loss against the Miami Heat, Nets CEO Brett Yormark yelled at a fan for wearing a paper bag on his head. Yep, he yelled at him for wearing a paper bag on his head.

We get more from the New York Daily News:

One of the Nets' top executives showed more fight Monday night than most of their players have all season.

CEO Brett Yormark, usually one of the most fan-friendly executives in the league, got into a heated confrontation with a spectator during the Nets' 99-89 loss to the Heat at the Meadowlands. The loss - the team's 14th straight at home and eighth straight overall - put the Nets at 7-63 and kept them on pace to break the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers' record of 73 losses in a season.

With the Nets trailing 79-67 between the third and fourth quarters, Yormark left his courtside seat and passed Chris Lisi of Middletown, N.J., who was sitting in the second row and wearing a paper bag over his head. Yormark then walked back toward Lisi, and in full view of reporters and photographers got into a shouting match with Lisi and a pal.

As Yormark jabbed his finger toward Lisi as he shouted something, Lisi pulled out a pair of tickets and waved them back at the CEO, who then stomped away as security personnel approached.

Hey, I can understand that's it's been a tough season for the New Jersey Nets this year but there is a line that people within the organization shouldn't cross when dealing with unruly fans.

The one positive that you can say came from this, someone associated with the Nets actually showed some fight this season.
