The actions of fans and players has been getting increasingly out of hand over the course of a  number of years, and the news has been reporting it. We have stories now of parents brawling on the field, and even attacking their children's opposition players. We have plenty of news of the parents planning a large monetary sports career for their child, as well as the get out of the ghetto ticket crowd, and the high stakes and dollars involved have racheted up the tensions and actions. When players have dirty backrounds, and play those in front of the fans, the crowd responds accordingly.

 Pointing out that vulgarities and their use is being pushed from the left more and more is a no brainer. Now we see it here excused as "going on for a long time", nothing new. We are also aware of the riots in the streets celebrating a winning team.

In the rest of the world it is taken even more seriously, or the reactions of the fans are much more expected, we are told, by the news. Perhaps some here feel we need to catch up with that, in the USA, and it appears we are.

 From steriods to dog fighting, to doping, to prostitution, to women in locker rooms to shamed sportscasters, to the fans and their "acceptable" reactions or planned misbehaviors, to mascots fighting,  it must be "excused" we are told. From Janet's rip away bra cup, to the coarse commentary from 2 or 3 "announcers" schooled in pop culture and paid to share it during the game...

 I guess that would be fine, except that we all know, and the news reports, it is getting worse. What I call the 60's generation has infected the entire scene, and their answer is always "we have the right to", it's for ratings, if you don't like it - change the channel, you can't control what the crowd wants, loosen up you old fuddy duddy.

 Fine if "that's the way it is", but then don't tell me Imus is a criminal and needs to go, then the very same school can do much worse to a team that is their guest, and - well, it's just the way fans act... including plenty of the same students crying, wailing, and making demands concerning Imus, or not making any effort to stop the abuse.

 They can get away with it, and they obviously have. Their smug self satisfaction is no doubt enormous, and any excuse in the book will be given, as you saw balboa make the attempt. Not that it's any different than excuses given for Imus. He had been doing it for decades as well.

 The funny thing is, Imus was at the Rutgers ladies basketball game, in person, and probably heard far, far worse than what he said over the air. How are we possibly to believe that he didn't after all the "know it alls" here telling us it's a rampant problem and has been "the same" for a long drunken time.

 So, it's ok if you teach Imus exactly how to behave at a game, in person, which is essentially in plenty of cases, "not at all" - and if he repeats it on air or makes up his own 3 word slam the next day - he's toast.... but the same people that cried out against him, can endorse their own misbehavior, over and over again, at their political opposition team in fact, and that's ok, at the same school, no need for the fair news media to even comment, nor any leftist to understand any similarity.

 I don't get it, what's so hard to see about it, or understand. The left obviously rules with severe predjudice. I for one am happy that Mr. Bozell has the common sense and the guts to stand up against it, and point out the massive double-standard.

 Even our resident braindead alien liberal cracked up and "admitted" he doesn't like it (in between liking it and saying it can be funny -etc - heck he even gibbed up telling us it can be obscene - letting us know he wasn't going to lie about that part), and then much later claimed he is personally involved in talking to the vulgar fans who do such things, in an attempt to stop them. Not that I believe him for an instant in the latter case, because I certainly don't, nor that it matters anyway, since "this isn't news", and "there is nothing here".

balboa [ I'm not excusing it, just saying it's a fact. I don't like it, either. All I can do is make sure if I have kids, they don't do it.]

That was, of course, before he told us he is personally involved in confronting vulgar fans for his collegiate position and his college event team goes after 'em. " It's all he can do ", the new balboa, that is. Just remember though, he can hardly wait for the next non-issue from Mr. Bozell.

I'm not excusing it, just saying it's a fact. I don't like it, either. All I can do is make sure if I have kids, they don't do it. But I'd say adults at pro games are often worse than college students (detroit pistons anyone?). 

For a beer, I'd ONLY consider drinking every drop! But the jerks who yell obscenities & throw stuff ruin it for those of us who'd like to have a beer in peace...

Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul.

And I assume that you have documentation that each and every one of those people who show poor sportsmanship are liberals, right?

No? Oh, how...unfortunate.

No. This is ESPECIALLY true in the case of schools with big-name football/baseball/basketball programs.
