Bills seek stiffer penalties for abusive sports fans
Illinois lawmakers push to elevate verbally threatening referees and coaches to aggravated assault. The Cairo Pilots fans stormed the floor after losing to Massac County Patriots, injuring coach Larry Baldwin with a plastic bottle. Proposals would extend penalties across all levels of sport and set minimum fines to deter attacks on officials. The IHSA supports stronger measures to curb abuse and protect officials amid rising incidents at high school events.
