NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AP) -- New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says Madison Square Garden and the Rangers need to do more to stop anti-gay slurs from being used at hockey games.
A group of gay hockey fans told The New York Times that they're most upset by the chant at fan Larry Goodman. He calls himself ``Dancin' Larry'' and often dances during breaks in the game.
Quinn said she hopes to meet with Garden or Rangers officials soon to discuss remedies.
After letters of complaint from Quinn and The New York City Gay Hockey Association, the Rangers posted a warning on its scoreboard. It said fans engaging in offensive language and behavior would be tossed out.
A Madison Square Garden spokesman says culturally insensitive behavior is unacceptable at any event at the arena.
