The Brandon Miller situation has caused for a lot of arguing, especially for Alabama fans. Support for the freshman forward has been flowing from Tuscaloosa over the past month. Even so, two fans decided to take it a step too far during the SEC Tournament semifinals on Saturday.

John Talty of AL.com discovered two fans who were wearing despicable shirts at Bridgestone Arena. The exchange between the reporter and fans seemed to be an unpleasant one and possibly even got heated. While there was a thought they could maybe be trolling Alabama, they were also able to confirm they supported the Crimson Tide.

Thankfully, there were just two of them. They were in attendance to watch Alabama get a win against Missouri, advancing to the championship game. You can check out the shirts below via a tweet from Talty.

Warning — the tweet below contains explicit language while the shirt contains triggering language making light of an ongoing murder trial

The SEC has now revealed the two fans, or anyone else, will not be allowed into the arena on Sunday if those shirts are being worn. If they decide to sneak them in and eventually wear them, security will ask them to leave.

“SEC spokesperson Herb Vincent told AL.com that the fans would not be allowed inside Bridgestone Arena with the shirts on Sunday and that if the fans put them on at any point inside the arena, they would be asked to leave,” Talty said in his article.

SEC ticket policy states tickets can be taken away from fans if the “user is disruptive, endangers others or uses vulgar, threatening or demeaning language.”

Alabama is scheduled to face off against Texas A&M on Sunday beginning at Noon CT. Those fans will have the opportunity to take in the game and support the Crimson Tide. However, they will not be able to wear those shirts.

If they attempt to do so, they will have to find a bar on Broadway to watch the game.
