Thanks to our friends at FAV (www.fansagainstviolence.org), we received an update today concerning the proposed California legislation “Improving Personal Safety at Stadiums Act.”  The organization notes that “[i]t is FAV’s mission to encourage fan safety at professional sporting events through education, discussion and partnerships with like-minded organizations. We believe that attending sporting events is an act of fellowship and community between fans, and that each person who attends a professional sporting event should feel safe and be protected by the hosting facility and franchise.”  Kathy Samoun, a devoted Oakland Raiders fan, founded the organization and authored today’s enlightening article.  Among other things, she explained that the California Assembly Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media unanimously adopted the legislation today following several critical amendments to the proposed bill.  Certainly, this new California legislation could be the catalyst to compel other states to create necessary change.  Please click on the link above to enjoy Kathy’s article and further support a great organization!
