No more Bandettes coverage?

Looks like that might be the case. Last season,at the end of the 2nd to last game, a security  guard I had never seen before came up to me and said someone  was bothered by my photo taking...said he'd  be watching me. It had me a little spooked to be honest. The next game, the season finale, he came up to me early in the game and said it again...and that if I took any photos in the tunnel area, he'd have to take my camera and I'd lose my seats. He then went on to claim that it was the Bandettes who were complaining....which is very odd considering I'd gotten nothing but extremely  positive feedback from each of them all season long. I think every last one of them made a point to thank me for her Bandette of The Week feature.
Well, I left the game shortly afterwards and didn't  bother ordering playoff tickets. Since then, I've asked for feedback and clarification  on the issue from the arena and from the Bandits....nothing.
A buddy has often suggested contacting one of the Bandettes to find out if someone on the squad was, in fact, trashing me behind my back after being nice to my face. I refuse to do that because it would do nothing to improve the situation regardless of the response. If I found out that someone had stabbed me in the back, the knife in the back would hurt more than the numbness I've been feeling about the issue. If no one with the Bandettes was responsible, and the security guard was lying, then it does nothing to make things better if the security guard will be harassing me again.
It's a  shame because the squad deserves better but if some scumbag on a powertrip is gonna steal my camera anyway, showing up will do no good.
Worst part about it is that everyone has something they will be remembered  for. For most it's  children or some big noteworthy  achievement...for me, it's  the Blog...working to give back...to ensure Buffalo's  pro cheerleaders have photos to share with their children, grandchildren, and everyone else. Hopefully I'll be able to do more of that someday soon.
