Predicting the Future of Fan Interference: Increased Security Measures? Lifetime Bans?

What measures, if any, do you think are necessary to prevent similar incidents? Weigh in with your thoughts! Let’s discuss the future of fan-player interactions and the evolving landscape of sports spectatorship.
