Celtic,
Jackass…hmmm. Hey wait, that’s the symbol of the Democrat Party.
Gotta nominate the whole Democratic Party of NC.
But if that’s too many, we’ll just settle for The Joker …Bev Purdue .

John Spratt for completely ignorning his constituents.

I still say Mark Sanford. Out of all of these people, he’s the only one that could have realistically become the next President of the United States.

Thanks, but need I remind you y’all can nominate MORE than 1 person? Keep them coming.
Oh… Tony Rand. Jackass. ‘Nuff said.

Roy Williams.
For having a fan unceremoniously ejected from a game for exercising his 1st amendment rights.
ESPN2 agrees. http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/index?id=4741580

Logic:
Just a correction: the fan has the ‘right’ to exercise his freedom of speech. And that ‘right’ is limited by law (yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre). That ‘right’ is, in this case, correctly limited by the officials at games as well as the owners/managers of a facility.
So, too, ‘free’ speech has consequences, as among spectators at sporting events, like fans being ejected, say, at a tennis match, for outbursts like this.
What the fan did, in actuality was show unsportsmanlike conduct – which is usually overlooked by the other team as this sort of yelling by fans is routine.
Roy Williams, himself, is simply a poor sport with an inflated idea of his importance and position- and is a proper jackass.

You obviously don’t know what happened, the fan never even yelled anything about a “fire,” he was yelling at a UNC player about to shoot a free throw, and they weren’t even in a theater. So thanks, but no correction needed. My submission for “Jackass of the Year” still stands.
