Brutal Beating of Giants Fan

Shame...As a philly fan I know that a couple of jacka$$es do not represent a whole fanbase but I as I have mentioned before, I know a couple guys who went to LA when the Phillies played the Dodgers in the playoffs and they said they did not feel comfortable cheering for the Phils in that stadium.

Said there were quite a few "fans" there that were not to happy with them being there and were dead serious about it. They walked out of that stadium and kept their mouths shut as they left and these guys are not easily intimidated. It's odd because whenever I think of that stadium I think about Mary Hart and Larry King.

I know there are a couple of people on here that live in that area so how bad is it there?

Bryan Stow, 41, has been fighting for his life since two men wearing Dodgers clothing assaulted him after last week's season opener in Los Angeles, police said. The avid Giants fan was attacked after the game, which the Dodgers won 2-1.

Yeah. The stadium is in East LA which has been sorta cleaned up but it is the home of the Cholo's.

I don't think it's the area as much as the mentality. Remeber, most of the Dodger fans at one tiem were Raider fans. I have been to a couple of games wearing my Giants gear and never really had any trouble. But I did steer clear of anything that would trigger my SA.

Lately, I have been pondering not taking my kids when I go next.

A couple of real "tough guys" there. 2 on 1, and they ran up behind him.

Bastages!

How'd they get away? Some tens of thousands of people who don't know what a citizen's arrest is or have they gotten rid of that law in LA?

EDIT: lol, after researching i find the only state that doesn't allow a citizen's arrest is good old North Carolina.

It depends where you sit when you go as well and how obnoxious of an opposing fan you are.

I've been going to games there since I was 6 years old and last year was the first year I ever got into a confrontation with someone. I am a Dodger fan and was sitting in very nice seats but the language from behind us was pretty absurd all game long. I don't mind that stuff but I was with my very young brother and didn't think he needed to hear that so I asked them to keep the language cleaner and they gave me some poo back but they knew they were wrong and kept it clean.

If you sit in the bleachers in the outfield you better be on your best behavior. I saw a Dodger fan beat up a Mets fan and the Dodger fan had a baby in his left arm. Yes. The Mets fan got repeatedly punched in the face by a Dodger fan.

Basically if you don't act like an idiot I've never seen there be problems. Surely there are a few bad apples but the majority of my visits to Dodger stadium are friendly and I've been to over 100 games there. The one thing I have noticed lately is the language gets pretty bad for young kids, which is unfortunate, but being polite and asking them to refrain should get the job done.

can't be.....I once saw Goober pull the "citizen's arrest" on Barney for doing an illegal u-turn in the middle of Mayberry.

Phillies fans and San Diego fans are pretty terrible people.

A was at the Rays/Phillies WS game in Philly watching a friend of mine pitch and he had about 50 friends/family members there and one of them had a 10 year old kid with them.

Kid went to the bathroom alone to pee and when myself and someone else walked a group of 6 grown men were pushing him against the wall and talking poo to him as he's crying and trying to get out.

There was no fight but we had them arrested. fug Philly

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.

      Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
