I'd like to show up at either stadium wearing the most provocative pro-other team and anti-home team gear imaginable. IE: YANKEES SUCK!!! would grace my chest while "SOX 4EVA!!" would be emblazoned in red and blue on back with a green Sox hat and a "SOX ARE #1!" big foam finger and then show up during an interleague game against the Padres.

And then while I'm recovering in the hospital, (hopefully), my lawyer would filing my suit.

Other than the injuries, I don't see a downside to this.

Muffin top but no tramp stamp?
Odd.
Usually the fat chicks have outrageous ink on their asses.

No duty to retreat. Facekick deserved.

It's just a game.

/There, I said it.

ThatGuyGreg: People that wear a jersey for a team that isn't playing in the stadium deserve shiat thrown at them.

Yanks_RSJ: gets what she deserves.

And this is exactly why I maintain that sports fans are sociopaths.

Heckling someone because they prefer a different set of people in a different uniform is nothing but childish. Starting fights over it should get you removed from society for a few years.

ThatGuyGreg: James!: I've worn Red Sox gear at Yankee Stadium before. The only problem was a legitimately retarded guy trying to heckle us, but his dad sat him down and shut him up.

Was it during a red sox game?

People that wear a jersey short skirt for in front of a team that isn't playing in the stadium men they're not willing to blow deserve shiat unsolicited dick thrown at in them.

Only five comments in and you've exceeded the stereotype, well done. "Real" sports fans are like cops; there are probably some good ones but the evidence is against it.

Prolly already been said (too many words to read in all the comments... and I'm drunk), but the NY fan is pretty lucky she isn't facing manslaughter charges. A couple of inches higher and Boston girl takes a direct shot from that railing right to the base of her skull. Would have smashed that thing like a pumpkin. Ugly stuff all around.

Silly sports fans. 'The major sports franchise in my general geography is better than the major sports franchise... yadda, yadda, yadda'.

lowbrowdotorg: It's just a game.

/There, I said it.

Even worse, an early season game. Alcohol's a helluva drug.

xpisblack: Anyway, my point is that you keyboard knaves who sit and pooh-pooh the intensity of a profound athletic rivalry (even one as young and shallow as Yankees-Red Sox...

??? Yankees-Red Sox first played in 1901. They've played each other over 5 times more than the Old Firm has been contested. Boston and New York have hated each other since the colonial days. Just because their hatred is based upon geography instead of which interpretation of the same Mythical Sky Wizard they were raised to blindly accept doesn't make it "shallow."

Instead of trying to pretend like American sports rivalries aren't as intense as those in Europe because less people end up dead here in the States, you should be ashamed that you ever allowed the Ultras/Goons culture to take hold in the first place.

CtrlAltDestroy: Heckling someone because they prefer a different set of people in a different uniform is nothing but childish. Starting fights over it should get you removed from society for a few years.

I know. She totally shouldn't have thrown the first punch.

And you have no idea what was said by any of the parties involved before this video was shot. But hey, you selected 5 words from my comment, so context apparently isn't that important to you.

As a displaced Yankee fan in Baltimore, I only wear my Yankee cap when the Orioles are playing the Yankees, or the Red Sox. The Orioles are simply a vehicle for expressing my Red Sox hate. Oriole fans would probably get mad at me, luckily there's only a few actual Oriole fans when they're playing the Red Sox, or the Yankees.

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.

Actually if you look closely at the video it was a girl who kicked the other girl in the head. She was wearing the "NY" jacket. The guy next to her was wearing a "Yankees" jacket, and did not unleash that sweet chin music.

Yanks_RSJ: I know. She totally shouldn't have thrown the first punch.

And you have no idea what was said by any of the parties involved before this video was shot. But hey, you selected 5 words from my comment, so context apparently isn't that important to you.

I selected 5 words because that was the summation of the point and it wasn't necessary to bloat my post with your entire immature attitude. Like this -

Yankee fans are heckling her, as should be expected.

The idea that it "should be expected" is childish and pathetic. You also said that she "[got] what she deserves" means that you think that it's perfectly reasonable to retaliate to an attempted slap (based on what she did prior) with a kick to the face sending her backwards over chairs landing on her head.

And you have no idea what was said by any of the parties involved before this video was shot.

No, I don't. But let's go on your version of reality. Here's what happens in your world.

Yankee fans are heckling her, as should be expected.

Here's what the article says,

Tipster Dave informs us that Alleged Red Sox fan was taking abuse most of the day and eventually had enough.

So according to you, and the article, the Yankee fans started it. That doesn't excuse her actions, but seeing how you're trying to avoid holding the Yankee fans responsible for their attack, I'm going to point out that they started it. There was immature behavior all around and the Yankee fans were the catalyst for everything that went wrong.

But according to you, she deserved to get kicked in the face and sent over backwards by her aggressors.

Hrm, that name and... [checks profile]... yep. You see them as your people and you don't want your people to be in the wrong. How sad.

Apparently the idea of not harassing someone over trivial nonsense and stopping someone without risking a concussion is lost on you. A reasonable person doesn't begin with overwhelming force to stop someone weaker and less capable than them. Throwing a first pathetic punch is no excuse for happened.

But thanks for illustrating my point. You are a sociopath.

xpisblack: WinoRhino: My buddy wanted a Red Sox road gray Dewey jersey for the longest time because he was his favorite player growing up and he had the same issue. His fiancee tracked one down online not too long ago. It took some looking, but there's hope for you.

The problem is that Manny Ramirez (among others including Mike Stanley) used Dewey's number more recently than Evans has done. Had the number lain fallow, finding a blank road jersey with that number would have been trivially easy. But because the number has been, off and on, used since Dewey left the team, the shirt-makers have reserved that number as "in use." It has nothing to do with stupid fans, only profiteering shirt-manufacturers and their MLB contracts.

You people (many of you, anyway) are hypocrites: you feel passionately about your own region-- or, rather, against other regions-- and yet fling disdain like so many simian faeces at those who support their own regions (or antagonise others' regions) in ways you dislike. You say all Boston or New York fans deserve eradication and cite fandom excesses as justification for your proposed enormities. That you seem not to recognise this hypocrisy says quite a lot about your own limited cognitive capacities.

WinoRhino: Story along these lines: I had a Red Sox jersey that was blank on the back. The game immediately following manager Jimmy Williams getting fired in 2001 I took a red marker and wrote "WILLIAMS" across the back with his number, 22. I went to the game that night and at least a dozen people said something along the lines of "You can just buy a Ted Williams jersey, you don't have to make your own" not noticing the number was 22 and not 9.

Jimy Williams was a stain. He was so awful, he didn't merit a second "m," much less a multiyear contract. He was one of a bare few managers fired mid-season with his team 12 games over .500-- that's how awful he was. I'd think you might forgive fans for assuming you were stupid enough to get Ted Williams's number wrong instead of so retarded that you voluntarily donned a Jimy Williams jersey, no matter how homemade. They were trying to be kind to your Mongoloid ass.

After reading your other posts in this thread, that made me chuckle. You put far too much effort into trolling, or far too much booze near your computer. Perhaps both.

CtrlAltDestroy: There was immature behavior all around and the Yankee fans were the catalyst for everything that went wrong.

Actually she was the catalyst for wearing an antagonistic t-shirt where she knew she was going to get abuse (because, guess what, shiat talking goes hand in hand with sports) when she was going to let the abuse that any rational person would expect incite her to violence.

But please, lets hear more of your psychological wisdom that you achieved by attending the syllabus handing out day of a psych 101 freshman intro course....

Don't start nuthin, won't be nuthin

What kind of Red Sox Uniform colors were those?

I happened to be in CA during the NFC Championship game this past January. I took my daughter and her family to a local wing joint/sports bar, which was filled with rabid 49er fans. Anytime things went the 49er's way, the crowd would be on their feet, giving each other high fives. When Tynes kicked that winning FG in OT, I wanted so badly to jump up and look around in vain for someone to high five, but my son-in-law convinced me that that might not be the wisest move....

Leonidas would have been proud of that kick.

Ahh drunks....

who shiates on the floors
dents my car with their doors
and buys premade smores
look no further

This isn't soccer, tone it down a bit.

Poison: I am starting to really hate sports fans humans. Assholes all. Every day we get to hear about how some jackass got all mouthy after a few $20 beers and decided that the clothing that they root for is superior to the clothing that someone else does. Get a life, loser(s).


FTFY

new york fans are assholes. Every damn one of them.

nopokerface: That was a sweet kick from the chubby little Yankee skank.

I can't believe the Boston ho got up.

no kidding! She was about 3 inches away from some serious noggin damage. I can't believe she didn't smack her head on the railing. very lucky ho she be.

Now That's What I Call a Taco!: xpisblack: Anyway, my point is that you keyboard knaves who sit and pooh-pooh the intensity of a profound athletic rivalry (even one as young and shallow as Yankees-Red Sox...

If you think the wee pishing contest between the Yankees and Red Sox even begins to approach the Old Firm derby you must be deluded. We hate them and they hate us with an intense fury more like a force of nature at its most brutal than it is a simple disagreement over sport.

Your claim that Ultras are violent confirms my impression. There's nothing particularly antisocial about banners and chanting in the stadium. The worst that you can expect would be a political message that will offend some.

FriarReb98: When the fark did this happen, because Boston hasn't been there lately? If she's a Sox fan and went to a Yankees game against someone other than the Sox, she should be banned for life from ever being associated with the Sox for being a drunk biatch who picks fights with Yankees fans IN YANKEE STADIUM.

One other thing the article mentions and I've never, ever, ever understood... Why in the world, when the Sox and Yankees don't wear names on their home jerseys (and NY doesn't on road ones either), do people insist on selling and buying "authentic" jerseys with names on them? Are people that goddamned retarded they don't notice this?

They're buying and wearing jerseys aren't they?

Now That's What I Call a Taco!: xpisblack: Anyway, my point is that you keyboard knaves who sit and pooh-pooh the intensity of a profound athletic rivalry (even one as young and shallow as Yankees-Red Sox...

Hogwash and nonsense. The Red Sox were known as the Americans until 1908 (in which year the Red Stockings-- now Braves-- changed their colours and allowed the Americans to swipe the Red and jump on the hose bandwagon), and the Yankees were the Baltimore Orioles until 1903 and were the New York Highlanders until 1913, so any reference to a Red Sox-Yankees match before 1913 is silly, and any before 1903 is utter idiocy, akin to claiming today that the Yankees and Giants are rivals because they each play in New York.

But beyond that quibbling matter, the Red-Sox-Yankees hatred wasn't really a rivalry until the Wild Card era began in 1994. Before then, one team was pretty well always demonstrably better than the other and only exceptionally rarely even kept the other out of the postseason (for example, 1949 or 1978), and even then it was almost always one-sided, with the Yankees routinely beating the Red Sox like redheaded mules. It wasn't until the Wild Card era that the hatred grew into a rivalry-- before then, it was always a one-sided contest (the Yankees came in second to the Red Sox twice between 1920 and 2003-- 1986 and 1995), and a one-sided rivalry is no kind of rivalry at all. The Red Sox resented and hated the Yankees, and the Yankees barely considered the Red Sox worthy of contempt, much less hatred; that's the kind of rivalry a bug has with a windshield.

Rivalries can only exist when each side has a fair chance of winning; the Yankees dominated the Red Sox for the majority of the 20th Century, and were irrelevant when the Red Sox were great. Not until 2004 did the two teams meet in a postseason resulting in an ultimate Red Sox victory. Before then, every observer knew the Yankees would prevail in every and any postseason or even late-season series between the two squads. That's not a rivalry; that's a series of near-curb-stompings.

So it's a rivalry that's at most old enough to vote in some few elections, and more likely just barely old enough to be learning fractions. It's not nearly as epic as fanatics on either side would have others believe. Hell, I know old Red Sox fans who hate the Indians and Cardinals far more passionately than they hate the Yankees. Of course there's hatred there, but Yankees victories seemed inevitable, and therefore couldn't cause real heartbreak.

WinoRhino: After reading your other posts in this thread, that made me chuckle. You put far too much effort into trolling, or far too much booze near your computer. Perhaps both.

Wait, are you the one person who thought Jimy "Manager's Decision" Williams was a good coach? I'm not trolling, I'm just calling you stupid for thinking Jimy uncle-felching Williams was worthy of a homemade jersey and mocking you for thinking other fans were stupid for assuming your "Williams" jersey referred to a worthy player and not a sewer-dredgingly worthless manager with second-tier-assistant potential and horrific player-handling ability. They were probably being sarcastic about your choice of Williams-- especially after he was fired, I'm pretty sure no one in Boston wanted to think about rattle-brain Jimy ever again.

Besides, Sammy White and Moe Berg were the only real #22s for the Red Sox, and never mind Eddie Jurak and the rest.

Never will I deny that my computer resides among many bottles of alcohol, but I was dead sober when I began to consider you a moron for voluntarily wearing a Jimy goddamn Williams jersey, regardless of how bustedly homemade it may have been. For shame, friend. For shame.

Wait, what were you talking about, again?

xpisblack: Anyway, my point is that you keyboard knaves who sit and pooh-pooh the intensity of a profound athletic rivalry (even one as young and shallow as Yankees-Red Sox) by trying to minimise the emotional effect of sport on fans either are stupid or have incomplete information.

Lets see...the average fan (in the US at least), is cheering for a pro team who's owner likely has no connection at all in that city, composed of players who are on that team because that's who's paying them. These players and owners don't know, or give a shiat about that average fan in the least beyond the hope that he / she paid a stupid amount of money for a ticket.

Did I miss any info there? Still worth throwing punches for?

"It's only bread," said observers of the tax-based riots in the CSA in 1863. "It's only a tax," said Brits after the Boston Tea Party. You might think the reaction stupid and excessive, but your bewilderment only shows your distance from and ignorance of it. Objectively, all passionate excess is an overreaction; subjectively, most of it makes sense.

Possibly starving, or ultimately demanding a change in governance have a much bigger impact on ones life than a team losing a game does. Equating a sports fight / riot to these events is absurd. Your actions as a fan have absolutely zero impact on the outcome of the game (or any future ones).
