YouTuber banned for life from Chase Center for pretending to be Golden State player Klay Thompson

In a rather comical moment, YouTuber Dawson “BigDawsTV”, a content creator with 8.25M followers, was permanently banned from the Chase Center arena. The YouTuber dressed up as Golden State Warriors player Klay Thompson before Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Dawson made it into restricted areas of the arena, getting past security without any issues.Daws@BigDawsTvAt game 5 and @warriors just banned me for life from their arena.276391082At game 5 and @warriors just banned me for life from their arena.YouTuber BigDawsTV walked into Chase Center dressed as a Golden State playerThe content creator put on a Golden State Warriors jersey and shorts before Game 5 of the NBA Finals and walked into the Chase Center without any issues. According to the YouTuber, he walked through 5 layers of security, none of whom asked for ID, and allowed him on the court for about 10 minutes. He shot content on the basketball court for some time before being caught and escorted out of the arena.Daws@BigDawsTvBanned bc I walked pass 5 layers of security guards (who willingly let me through security without asking for ID) &amp; shot around on the court for 10 minutes.

Why should I be banned because their security is incompetent?Dawson also stated that he spent $10K on tickets for the Chase Center, but that is not being refunded to him.“Why should I be banned because their security is incompetent?”Daws@BigDawsTvHere’s the official letter of my ban.335062001Here’s the official letter of my ban. https://t.co/Ii9VTdWI0hThe YouTuber also posted proof that he was really banned via a letter he received from the Golden State Warriors Vice President of Security, Brian J. Herbert. In the letter, it stated that he broke the “Fan Code of Conduct of Chase Center, GSW, and the NBA League.”The letter also stated that the stunt could be considered criminal trespass, and while they have not pursued criminal charges against the content creator, they have that power. It also allows Dawson to put a request in to have the ban lifted by writing a letter.Daws@BigDawsTvIm being contacted by a lot of news organizations to do interviews. As of now I will not be doing any. Don’t want to make this a bigger deal than it is, the chase center has every right to ban me. I get it. No hard feelings.
