I got Kicked out

[MigratingOsprey]

pretty much

all sorts of phony justification for acting like a doucherocket

be loud, be supportive - don't be a jerk

 

[Shane]

The flaw in this logic, is that there is going to be kids within earshot EVERYWHERE.. so you're saying.. If an opposing teams fan has a kid.. don't be a douche to him, for the sake of his child.. But it's ok for people to be complete ass-hats and set crappy examples near OTHER peoples kids?

Very good point. Everytime Im in the stadium there is some kid 8 or younger in earshot. None of them should be subjected to that crap.

be loud, be supportive - don't be a jerk

Pretty simple concept.

Also, a great strategy is to fire back at idiots with wit, not agression. Backhanded compliments are the best.

Mr. Dorfman: 0.2.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

I have never gone out of my way to be a dick to anyone at a sporting event, not my thing. To be honest, I like sitting next to opposing fans because you get more insight into their team. I like to make bets with them during the game too and try to get some free beer. I do however expect to experience many who will whenever I go to a football game. It would be like going into a strip club and seeing drugs being used. If it surprises you than that's your fault.

I am not saying that it's OK I am saying that it's going to happen. And yes, I do think there is a difference between teasing a kid's Dad in front of the kid and doing the same to a stranger rooting for another team in front same kid.

That goes on the adults who brought those kids to the game as much as anyone. They knew there would be vulgarity because it's a football game and still chose to bring the kids. If they cared so much about not letting the kids be subjected to it then they would have watched the game on TV.

Interesting logic. Blame the parents for bringing their kids to a sporting event? Gotcha.

What are you talking about? Please tell me Shane when was the last time you went to a football game and didn't hear any cursing? So that would mean that only a very naive individual would not expect to hear it when they went to a game, correct??

See the fan code of conduct

I've actually been to many games and haven't heard swearing. But have conversely been to many that I have. I certainly don't believe it's something you should just expect. Been to enough games where the crowd in my area were all well behaved mature adults. Enough to make it so I know it's not just something you HAVE to deal with.

Maybe I should dress my wife up as my daughter at the Super Dome Saturday just to be safe,

I know its cowardly, but I was considering not even wearing Cards gear to the game. I dunno yet. Its just the 2 of us

Had a buddy get kicked out last season when he called a fellow Cards fans wife a CU** (she was) The husband defended her honor and the fight was on. Both got the boot and deservedly so actually.

Then he went and got his face painted in some random park by some ganster's gramma in Tampa, right?

I heard the distinction between wife & daughter is somewhat blurry in Louisiana anyway, so what the hell.

I have known so many people who have had issues with SAFE security. Their employees are poorly trained and the escalate far more situations than they diffuse. They have that ability to kick people out and in my opinion, they totally abuse that power.

I would recommend that season ticket holder call the Cardinals ever time they have or witness this abuse. When I had an incident with them I called the Cards and they referred it to the regional manager for SAFE who did call me back.

Maybe eventually the Cards will get the message and demand better training and accountability from SAFE.

There is the occasional F-bomb, and then there is constant, trailor-trash cursing. I bring some or all of my kids to most games. They range in age from 8 to 15. Our section certainly enjoys the game, the beers and the experience of being a fan! Thankfully, cursing is really kept to a minimum... I can't recall it ever being an issue.
FWIW, we NEVER sit down. And we never have issues for not sitting down...

Maybe it would be more apropos if I dressed her as my cousin
