Not sure how many of you have come across this viral video, but that lady should be ashamed. Yes, kids can be annoying at games. As can drunk or obnoxious fans. I chalk it up as part of the live game experience and cherish a lot of the off-the-cuff moments I've been apart of. The look of sadness in that little girl's face after being dressed down by that hag is heartbreaking.

Thankfully Tonya Harding didn't have another pipe with her or poor Chloe may have also had a busted knee.

People are starting to let their online persona seep into their actual personality. I don't get it, but I see it a lot. More and more, people want what they want, when they want it, and they expect everyone else to live by their demands. That's ok if you're shopping online, but doesn't work so well in real life...
 
Ya that's pretty terrible... That little girl didn't deserve that one bit!

Having been an obnoxious little kid fan myself well into my late 20's and early 30's I've had many instances over the years. Luckily for me - I had a dad who would step in and take care of people like that for me. Granted it shouldn't happen in the first place - but when it does you can only hope a child has a parent or someone else that witness that and quickly takes care of it. Makes the kid instantly feel protected and realize they're doing nothing wrong.

Not a child moment by any means but along these same lines. A few years ago I was pretty drunk & myself at an Evansville game. Had a pretty good dialogue throughout the night with people around me. Joking quite a bit - yelling at refs - yelling at my own team - drinking some more. We were having a good ole time - well some fans across the way didn't take too kindly to it and got into a back and forth with them. They had an Usher come get me and talk to me outside - he handled it pretty well and I was allowed to go back into the game.

I do all that sober
 
Don't worry, I am sure someone will find out who this person was who yelled at her. Then everyone can gang up on her online, threaten her, post her address and protest outside of her home and work and pressure her boss until she is fired, hack her accounts and basically make her life miserable. Then those same people can say how tolerant they are and how they wish more people were like them.

It is quickly becoming our national sport.

I can remember a simpler time when something bad happened to you and you dealt with it, and moved on in life. As opposed to videoing, posting it on Facebook or sending it to the media. I don't have enough "outrage" for all of the different events that I am supposed to be outraged by anymore. I guess I am old.

People continue to act a fool when they know there are cameras everywhere. Maybe this is just Darwin proving his theory?

Tongue in cheek comment... Or I'm not really sure what I was getting at other than I can recall having been in her shoes when I was younger... I would stand up and cheer obnoxiously loud as a little kid and it has continued well into my 30's.

I thought I was passed "arguing" with other fans until I ran into an asshole Cubs fan from Bloomington at a Cards game earlier this year. Not much worse than a Cubs fan from Bloomington. :razz:
