Nets CEO Brett Yormark Shouts at “Unknown Fan” Wearing Paper Bag Over Head Monday at IZOD Center

The New Jersey Nets’ CEO Brett Yormark shouted at an “Unknown Fan” who wore a paper bag over his head to hide his identity in the horrible 99-89 home loss to the Miami Heat. This reminds of the New Orleans Aints Fans years ago and the Unknown Comic. What the hell was this guy thinking? Yormark has to have a clear head in this situation. His team on the floor absolutely sucks and may break the record for the fewest wins in an NBA regular season (current record 7-63 with 12 to play). I thought about wearing a bag more then once at Citi Field last year. As reported by espn.com:
Yormark then doubled back toward the fan, identified by the New York Daily News as Chris Lisi of Middletown, N.J.

It was at that point that Yormark, Lisi and a friend of Lisi's got into a shouting match, with reporters and photographers nearby.

Lisi told the Daily News that the CEO initiated the exchange by asking him why he had a bag on his head. Lisi's response -- "because the Nets are so good," according to the paper. Yormark then snapped at him and walked off, Lisi told the Daily News.
