YouTuber Dawson Gurley, who has a popular channel by the name BigDawsTv, has revealed that he got banned for life after he dressed in a Golden State Warriors Gear. In a series of tweets, he shared how he got past security in Game 5 of the NBA.

Dawson Gurley, who runs the popular channel BigDawsTv, has been banned from entering the Game 5 venue at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. He spoke about the ban in a series of tweets and said:

“At game 5 and warriors just banned me for life from their arena. Banned bc I walked pass 5 layers of security guards (who willingly let me through security without asking for ID) & shot around on the court for 10 minutes. I also spent 10K on tickets which they are not refunding. Why should I be banned because their security is incompetent?”

Clearly, in the tweets, BigDawsTV claims that he has not trespassed, but the security guards let him in. So as per the YouTuber, he is prohibited due to a lapse in security. In a tweet, Dawson Gurley also shared an official letter about the ban.
