NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (1-7) host the Los Angeles Chargers (5-3) in a Week 9 game that will not be well-attended. Some Tennessee fans who are still showing up are being greeted by Nissan Stadium security with a request upon arrival.
Turn those “We Ass” t-shirts inside out, or head home.
Titans organization worried about the wrong things
You know the line from quarterback Cam Ward after the Titans were shut out 26-0 in Houston, right?
“If we keeping a buck right now, we ass,” Ward said at the time. “We 0-4. At this point we got nothing to lose. We dropped a quarter of our fucking games and we’ve yet to do anything. So we have to lock in. Especially myself. From the offensive line, from the defensive line, from the special teams to all three phases we have to play together. We have not played together this year yet.”
The line went viral, of course.
Fans, so frustrated with the ungodly awful product that Tennessee has fielded this year, have mobilized the phrase. T-shirts adorned with “We Ass” have become a popular off-market buy. Titans fans have almost turned it into a perverse badge of honor.
Just don’t wear them at Nissan Stadium.
One annoyed patron approached us during the Lee Company Countdown to kickoff pregame show this morning with their “We Ass” apparel. He informed us that a stadium official had told him that the shirt must be turned inside out if he planned on going into the game. If the fan turned the shirt back right-side out once he entered Nissan Stadium, he would be removed from the game.

If a fan violates the Fan Code of Conduct and fails to identify themselves to stadium staff, they are subject to penalties, including being barred from the stadium and potentially facing a league-wide ban.
The ticket holder of record may be subject to disciplinary measures, including ticket suspension. Holder consents to and must comply with Management, NFL, and/or their security personnel’s request to view Holder’s ticket, or Holder will be found in violation of these terms and will be subject to removal, arrest and prosecution, forfeiture of ticket privileges, and other penalties, including up to a lifetime ban.
While the Titans might deem the public mockery of their franchise as “inappropriate,” they have no one but themselves to blame.
