It was worse stuff than that...I can deal with "that player fucking sucks" and shit like that, but when the attacks get personal to the fans --- let's just say lines were crossed that shouldn't have been.

I'm a fairly non violent person, and I was ready to start throwing punches for some of the stuff that I heard/dealt with, but then my b/f said that if I did and he had to get involved to back me up, that he'd be cutting me off for a while, so I just clinched my teeth and dealt with the fuckers.

Sure there is a lot of drinking that goes on, and yes it's a physical game -- but there is a difference between a stadium and a bar...If I wanted my children (which I don't have any, though I have nephews) to have to deal with some of the comments and insults that I was having to hear, I would have taken them to a raunchy strip club.

Yes, people have a right to their own opinions about players, the game, rules, whatever, but when you're not being disrespected, there's absolutly no fucking reason to just fly off and disrespect other people.

And I don't think I'd ever purposely sell my soul to sit amongst the whine and cheese crowd in our club level...Granted, I'm not with children or anything like that, so I'm not requiring that everything be "polite" and "family friendly" -- but even former steelers players were admitting that they were asshamed to be a part of the association because of how horrible the fans were behaving, so I know it wasn't just localized to my section. The Bettises, on the other hand, were commenting on how nice and respectful the rest of the home fans were, even when we were losing.
