I give up? What does??

Bgtg19 has a very valid point. While most of us chuckle at stories like this one, it ain't the way to handle the situation. All it does is lower us to the same level as the idiot causing problems in the first place.

Yeah, but it still makes me

For the amount of abuse that we take, it's refreshing sometimes to hear about an idiot being put in his place when he is clearly wrong and a moron!

Not saying that you should do this, but it still makes me LOL when I read these stories because so many fans are such complete idiots!!!

Oh, I completely agree. It's kind of like watching the show "Cops" or others like it...the main reason we watch is to see some knucklehead get pepper-sprayed or something when they behave like idiots. It's hilarious...but in this case, did it solve anything other than getting the clown to leave? Will that clown change his behavior or be the same at the next game he goes to?

I don't know...and I laugh along with the rest of us when I read these stories. I'm just not sure that it's the best way to deal with it.

I'll stop being "sanctimonious" and "preachy" now...

Word.

Very true - one of my favorite shows!

Some would argue that getting him to leave WAS solving something

If that official is working the game, I suspect so!

I agree.. we are not there to be the parents of the fans.. although sometimes they need it... although deserved it wasn't nessesary, and the only purpose it served was to boost the ego of the official.

Funny YES...

but I understand too that it probably wasn't the right thing to do in retrospect.

Seems to me it served its intended purpose: To shut the jerk up.

Just sayin'

We weren't in retrospect. We were in Oregon. "Things look different here." (at one time, that was proposed to be our state motto) Things really are different here. We actually have an "official state rock song". It's Louie, Louie (which was written in Oregon). And no, I am not making this up.
