Some people who don't act like idiots the entire game sit right next to people who do, yet they do not think anything of it when the idiot screams for an hour straight. Why does society not look down upon this type of behavior?
My wife went to an all girls boarding school in the Northeast. Very minimal exposure to sports and particularily High School sports.

So her first exposure were people threatening her husband, calling me names, etc. To this day she is appalled at the behavior of "adults" in these venues. She also would like to know when did it become acceptable for adults to act like this in public ?
