So, in other words, peacocks are by definition male.

the kicker is a jujitsu chick and was probably less than an inch away from a murder/manslaughter charge if that head hit that steel bar.

H31N0US: At first I was like "not cool" but then I saw she got physical first, had a $8 beer poured on her, and went at them again.

Had it been a girl that kicked her in the face I would be sort of ok with it but since it was a guy, I still say not cool.

At least she didn't try to dance on any tables.

I think it was a chick(an ugly one) that kicked her in the face.

bigpeeler: Yankee fans are pigs. Loud, obnoxious, socially retarded pigs.

Says someone from Missouri.

I wish I lived close enough to pro sports, and had the income, to go enough that the excitement of the game played a distant second to what the dirty, drunken scumbags around me are wearing.

Carth: It is Yankees fans in this video but that shiat happens all over the place in all different sports.

True enough, I was just going with the fans in question.

H31N0US: I got a lot of crap in Camden Yards with a NYY hat on and somehow I didn't get kicked down 4 rows.

You mean you didn't charge across 12 seats and throw a punch?

This broad got exactly the reaction she wanted, and my guess is that she was running her mouth the entire game too.

knight_on_the_rail: Sooo you're the guy from the rangers yankees alcs game that slapped the ball out of cruz's glove... nice to finally put a name with the "face"...

I wish I could afford those seats.

She got exactly what she deserved. All Boston fans need a kick to the face.

I wouldn't say I agree with this, but they are clearly there to piss people off and not to watch the game.

babysealclubber: nopokerface: Ah, the sophisticated folk of Boston and NYC.....

Oh yes. Every time I think UK fans go too far, the Yankess/Sawx crowd reminds me we're not THAT bad.

No, the US doesn't have any serious sport rivalries at all. I think it's because with few exceptions one city has one team per major sport. Allegiances amount to no more than geography. There are no major divides over class, politics, religion or ethnicity.

In a way it's quite nice. I can tell from the video that security is far more lax. Opposing fans mix together. Alcohol is served. Stewards and police aren't there to line the divide between sides. A nice family atmosphere all around. On the other hand, there's no chanting, no banners, no tifos. I don't quite understand that.

mycathatesyou: She got exactly what she deserved. All Boston fans need a kick to the face.

//you're not helping!

Oh man, I am so conflicted.

On the one hand, those people are all a bunch of douches.

On the other hand, seeing that chick do the dead-man's fall backward and then get up like "oh shiat, maybe i should rethink my position on this issue" was a highlight of my morning.

AtticusFinchEsq: Everybody in that video should be ashamed of themselves.

How so? In a game within the game EVERYONE is fair game...

This Looks Fun: but they are clearly there to piss people off and not to watch the game.

If the jersey someone is wearing pisses you off, do the world a favor, stop going to games. Those of us who don't give a damn would appreciate it.

Anyone who's self-identity even partially revolves around what sports team occupies the same city/state/province/region as them needs to grow up.

Anyone who participates in sports rivalries to any degree needs a cock/coont punch.

Anyone who initiates physical violence because of sports for any reason needs to be put away for a long time.

You've obviously read more into my comment than I wrote.

"They are there to piss people off" is in no way the same as "I get pissed off when I see them." I do however recognize when people are trying to start fights and it's hard for me to feel bad when their efforts succeed.

I dunno. When I go to hockey games in cities I'm traveling to and wear my Bruins shirt, no one gives me a hard time. 'Course, I don't go and mouth off. I always viewed it as a way to show I am a fan of the sport. Never gave anyone a hard time for anyone wearing a foreign jersey in our barn, either. In fact, no matter the team, the older the jersey, the more I am going to want to talk to you. Especially if you're the hot brunette chick wearing the Whalers jersey during game 5 this season!

New York should have all their sports teams moved. The residents of NY don't deserve to have teams. They think they're the center of the universe. As witnessed by this, they're all assholes.

Or did you just watch the video and not RTFA?

1. Red Sox fan went to a Yankees game when Boston wasn't playing. That's her right, that's fine as long as you accept that you're going to get verbally abused. However,

2. She didn't keep her trap shut (typical woman) when she should have, and

3. She started hitting first.

Yes, she went looking for trouble and got it. Her sole purpose was to troll Yankees fans, she succeeded, then failed.

Here's a clue..... Don't be an azzhole if you are in enemy territory.

Survived numerous Ohio State v. Michigan games without problem (in Ohio's stadium wearing Michigan colors during the Woody Hayes/Bo Schembeckler days).

Someone wants to call me an "Azzhole" for being there (sitting in the Ohio State STUDENT section near the 50 yard line?) That is their right.... Smile, laugh it off, be cool. It worked for me over about a 15 year period. Dad had season tickets to U of M games during that time and a sister of mine (who hated football) went to Ohio State and scored great tickets every year.

So, in other words, peacocks are by definition male.

Keep reading.

I've read it; I stand by my interpretation and will continue to dislike this particular idiotic metaphorical extension of the clearly marked meaning. Peacocks are males. One wouldn't call a loud woman a "rooster" without intending that masculinity or an attempt thereat be inferred from the description or her actions. The only time the word "bull" is even remotely commonly used to describe a woman (and not just her words) is in the phrase "bull-dyke," which can be insulting exactly because of its evocation of masculinity to describe a person whose entire life can happily be devoid of male presence. Peacock ought to be no different, and pretending that it is shows either ignorance of the word or of the attendant imagery.

Look, there's a reason the peacock was Hera/Juno's bird (as illustrated in the Aeneid's Fama simile): she was, among other things, the goddess of heroes, and heroes were overwhelmingly male; the "eyes" in peacock feathers represented her ever-present watchfulness and occasional interventions into the heroes' lives (sort of like Argus Panoptes, whose many eyes were immortalised by Hera/Juno in the peacock's feathers-- he was male, so she put his eyes on the male peafowl). Meanwhile, she observed and looked over the world, with special attention paid to heroes. And yes, it was a little bizarre to have the goddess of, among other things, marriage represented by a male bird, but she was always considered paradoxical, just as peacocks were... until this particular metaphor gained its foolish prominence. But Argus was her servant, and his immortalisation as a peacock was just: her bird was the bird that served her, not her image in bird form. Neither interpretation (a woman masquerading as a man or a man deeply honoured among women) is the case: this woman's actions are entirely within the realm of female behaviour, given alcohol. As a metaphor, it's doubly wrong, first because of the meaning and then because of the perceived meaning.

Besides, peacocks display their plumage in order to attract mates; this woman was doing nothing of the sort. A Malaysian ant or a horned lizard or even a hoopoe would be a better comparison for this woman's antics.

Anyway, at the end of the day, just mind that likening a woman to a peacock can be as insulting as calling her a bull-dyke; if that's your intent, then--by all means-- do keep watering the Tubes from your douchecan. And maybe that was the point of the original image, to suggest that this belligerent woman was acting mannishly. That's fine-- I just wanted to know the implications of the posted photo.

Zombie Hitler: Everyone involved is an idiot, and no one comes away from this with an ounce of dignity.

Exactly.

All joking aside, ultimately it's just sports. Sure it can bring a smile to your face, but once you start getting angry about them to the point of physical violence, what's the point of following anymore?

WhyteRaven74: This Looks Fun: "They are there to piss people off

How do you know they're there to piss people off? You're trying to assign a negative motive in a situation where that's not the only possible motive.

She negates any other possible motive when she is seen yelling and then swinging. If she was there to enjoy the game, she would be ignoring the comments and enjoying the game. Whatever was said to her, she chose to strut up several steps and swing on a group of hostile drunks that outnumbered her. If that isn't looking for a fight, I've never seen someone looking for a fight.

You're picking a difficult angle to defend in this conversation; I'm not sure why.

Thankfully it wasn't a Bruins fan. She would have had a hard time going after all the black folks.

1. Find team to root for
2. Buy horribly overpriced apparel, supposedly signifying your allegiance
3. Ignore the fact that most of the players on the team aren't even from that city / state, or know / give a shiat who you are..
4. Get in physical altercation defending your choice of team (despite point 3).

Sports are actually a good thing, it's the mouth-breathing retards that watch them that make the entire process completely idiotic.

Wait, what? Why does it matter if it was a guy? Are women too dainty to be hit in your mind?
If some crazy (and likely drunk) biatch is swinging at me and my girl at the ballpark I'd kick her the face too.

Bingo. She went looking for trouble, and she found it. If she'd laughed off the comments it would have been a total non-issue. She might have gotten a free beer or two out of it. Instead, she had one dumped on her after she went into biatch mode and started throwing punches.

You must have never attended a passionate European football match. Sitting through an international match suddenly puts the World Wars in context-- fans go utterly blue-screen guano. They light flares in the stands, smoke meth and other drugs openly, and brawl as a matter of course. Even friendly matches require full deployment of riot police and physical barricades for blocks around the stadium to prevent congregation; there is no thought or hope of preventing violence. I remember my first Paris-St.Germain match: I endured burns from fireworks and from what smelled like a methpipe but could have been a crackpipe held by a meth-user, and physically had to bludgeon my way to my seat, whence I eventually emerged-- bloodied and bruised-- to have to navigate a veritable maze of jackbooted riot-rozzers on my trip home.

And that was mild compared to some of the matches I've attended in the UK.

I'm not saying this is proper, only that it's normal. Maybe not in America, but you people are, as a group (though not universally) too isolated from any real threats to understand true, passionate, ingrained hatred.

I thought it was a girl that kicked her. That was a dude in the pink scarf?

Misconduc: LOL Abuse is given at any stadium, my best friend is a Ray's fan his ol Lady a Boston fan and I am a Yankees fan. I can't wait to show up at Trop Field just to have all 12 Ray fans heckle me.

I was at the Trop last week and I didn't see one person heckling the opposing team's fans (Angels) despite a few of them loudly cheering for their team. Granted, Price was doing enough to put them in their place, but Tampa really doesn't have much of a hostile atmosphere. There were Rays fans, Mets fans, Yankees fans, Red Sox fans, Angels fans, and even a couple Nats fans mixed in there and everyone just seemed to be trying to enjoy the game. if you are getting heckled at Tropicana Field, you must be a major league asshole who deserves it, frankly.

Was stood next to a douche that was cussing constantly (LA Fan) during a Seattle (home) v galaxy mls game. As a Scottish guy i know for a certain fact that douche guy would be carried out of the stadium on a gurney in the UK. No problem with banter but cussing and insulting opposing fans in their home field isnt the smartest move. Since its Seattle everyone pretty much ignored him apart from me asking him to tone it down.

No segregation isn't necessarily a good solution.

It was actually fantastic craic. Pain doesn't hurt for long, and the intensity is like breathable ambrosia-- it always took me a dead long time and profound physical exertion to wind down enough to sleep the next night-- sleeping the night after a match was impossible. Adrenaline is also a damn fine anaesthetic. And this was without council juice or any stimulant at all-- only alcohol by the quart and gallon.

Back to the video posted, alcohol could well have saved this woman from dire harm: with enough booze in her system, her body likely stayed relaxed whilst flying through the air and so prevented grievous bodily harm on impact. Once again, alcohol saves the day.
