that+ cameras throughout the stadium (and credit card usage perhaps)..
I guess, although the credit card issue is easily worked around and do they really scrutinize every fan by camera on an individual basis?
They can't easily, but now if they do get caught they're going to jail so is it really worth the risk to watch a baseball game
Kinda what Scotty said basically they can go to a game and nothing will happen to them, no one is looking at the faces of 35K a night in 15 different cities, but if they get busted doing something stupid at the park and their names are run, guess who's arrested?
Yes, I hadn't considered that they'd be arrested. I was just thinking if they were caught, they'd only be kicked out.
Shame on anyone proclaiming them as "legends" or heroes or anything of the sort. If that's the kind of experience you want to encourage at sporting events, if that's what you want to glorify, go watch some south american soccer where refs get stabbed or kicked or shot if the spectators don't like his calls - and sometimes then, the refs stab right back. Why not start celebrating fans who jump umpires or chuck water bottles or beers at players, too! Maybe then in retaliation, the next Mookie can grab a metal chair from the ballboy and use it to bash the fans who took the ball from him. Fans can throw flares or hit back with metal buckets and karate kicks. That sort of exchange never leads to injuries, surely. What a bunch of legends they'd all be! That's just them being "passionate", right?
No of course it isn't.
The judge had so mishandled things that observers questioned whether or not he was in the right field.
Look, I’m a Bostonian, and a Red Sox fan, through and through, but I’m always surprised about the criticism of Yankees fans. They’re just like us! Except they grew up in a different place. Feel free to hate my for my view.
SoxBot slowly getting better though
No. I said what Jesse did at the time was journalistic malpractice and i stand by it. Reporters do not interview streakers nor do they show it on tv for obvious reasons . No fucking reason you should have given these guys a platform because you will just encourage more of this behavior
Making them objects of derision is right and good, but that wasn't how I took you. I'm glad to learn that I misunderstood.
When you say a lot of appearances, who do you mean? The same kinds of shows that had the "hawk tuah" on for 30 minutes? Barstool podcasts? Nobody serious advocated what these guys did. Particularly the physical contact with Mookie. Fans of every team are gonna reach out and try to grab a ball or interfere, sometimes it's an accident and sometimes it's not. What these guys did, admitted by themselves, was plan ahead of time to try to interfere with the bal or players who came anywhere close to them. They admitted it. They should be banned and I'm sure everyone is glad they are.
