You know - after reading the article I am not sure I will ever attend another game. I mean I have season tickets but gosh golly it seems like people curse a lot at these things. I sure hope the folks at yankee stadium can do something about this.

But seriously - the article basically says cursing in chants and in general is part of being a new yorker, and the only images included were of smoke being set off (a big no-no) and a shirtless player (also a no-no) ... So are we glorifying all the things we aren't allowed to technically do? Or are those simply the most captivating and moving images the reporter found and decided to use in a piece that strives to make the games exciting and make people go there. Maybe YS should rethink a handful of these rules.

Eh whatever ... Go Team!

That's a pretty funny article

Makes it sound like fans dont know anything about the team or game. Not knowing The players names, asking if the goal was the goalies fault.

“I hate Philly,” said Diaz, as he exited the bleachers. “I hate the Flyers. I hate the Eagles and now I hate the Union.”

Yep

Exactly. Didn't like that part. So I guess he asked around until he found three people like that then decided it was a representation of the fan base.
