I condone fictitious unination on someone's head, given the fictitious scenario set forth.
Do I think anything physical should EVER happen at a sporting event? No. However, I see very little wrong with verbal swipes at visiting fans who are getting out of line. That's what home field advantage is all about. Intimidation is meant to occur. You shouldn't walk into another teams stadium decked out in the visiting teams colors, act like a d#ck, and expect to be treated great. It's common sense.
Fairly well said... I've been to sporting events across the country and have taken abuse for wearing my home teams colors but have taken and dished it without getting personal or obnoxious. But I guess I deserve it all because I'm a "Philly sports fan"

Intimidation is meant to occur in the stands? You people are warped...
I can understand ragging opponents fans, but there is no reason to be outright rude, disrespectful or violent to people just because they have a different freakin' color shirt on.
Now if that opposing team fan is acting like a jackass, then I could care less, but not if they are just there enjoying the game.

I think I was actually at that game in the bleachers but not next to any of those people yelling.

Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
that tape is a fake... that kind of stuff ONLY happens in Philly, no other fans are like that at all...
haha, that stuff annoys me because you know i'm trying to watch the game and these dopes are in my way.

Re-read what I wrote. We are in agreement.
If one sits and cheers respectfully for an opposing team, that person deserves to treated with respect. But, if they become outlandish, they are asking for outlandish behaviour back. It's karma.
I didn't watch the video, but I never said that it doesn't happen, but I can't think of one reason where it is justified (unless the visiting fan is acting like a jackass).

Maybe, that too. That's what over 20 years without a championship does to a city.
But, seriously why all the talk about one city's fans? Unless of course, these fans are more passionate than fans in other cities.
