I’ve cued up this YouTube clip to the 1:30 mark so you can see a large (assumedly drunk) lady going HAM on a skinny (assumedly drunk) lady in the stands at an Atlanta Hawks game. It’s got everything you’d want from a fan fight … admonishment from security, forced toplessness and a cameraman turning into one of the hyenas from The Lion King. HOO HOO HOOOO HOO HOO HOOOOOO

That first minute-thirty doesn’t explain a lot, either. We have no idea why these ladies were fighting. Those initial 90 seconds are very calm, so much so that the cameraman decides to film a child cheering and almost misses the fight. The eye before the storm, I guess.

Two lessons we can learn here:

1. Don’t be the type of person who gets into fights in stands at basketball games, and
2. If you ARE this kind of person, wear a thicker shirt.

“Wow!” you’re thinking. “What a crazy clip of adults brawling at a Little League game. I should find out more. I’m sure they had a great reason to fight and weren’t just rolling around on the ground being arrested in front of children because they’re crazy assholes.”

From The Ledger-Enquirer

In a report on the dispute, police said Davidson was was playing loud music near the right field fence after Northern won the game. That’s when a woman identified as Rose King and Iram King came over and she demanded that Davidson turn down the music. Chadwick said some teams bring their music to play between innings, before the game or after the game.

Police said Davidson turned down the music, but words were exchanged about the players. Iram King started to walk toward Davidson when he said, “What do you want,” or “Why are you walking over here.”

A witness said Iram King told Davidson,”I’m here to f… you up.”

Davidson’s reply was, “Well, here I am,” before police said the men tussled.

and then Bat-Dad showed up, and

I think the most disturbing thing about this video, other than the fact that this could be my family reunion, is the weird camera work. Was this taped with that Matrix camera that spins around you? Were those crane shots? Did our shot go through the fence, and why is Orson Welles storyboarding our Little League Dad fights?

Anyway, the moral of the story as always is this: don’t be these guys.

I think the guy providing color commentary for this fight says it all.

Background guy: UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! UHHHHHHHHHHHHH! UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

If you need more information, this is a Montreal-area theatre troupe reenacting important scenes from American History X during Monday night’s Canadiens/Bruins game at the Bell Centre in Montreal, using Bruins fans in place of black people. It starts off like any YouTube fight video you’ve seen — two jerks ganging up to kick-punch a guy with no shirt, a white guy who doesn’t know how to distribute his body weight throwing all-arm punches — and escalates into a chaotic mass of security guards and flailing hoodies, all in the name of pro hockey loyalty. The fight continues in the comments section of YouTube, where “drunk fans acting stupid to each other” has turned into a full-scale, passive-aggressive America Versus Canada.

Maybe the person who stood in the background making cow noises had the right idea. Stay out of it.

Miami Dolphins players and personnel are very upset with the team’s fans after they booed and shouted insults at quarterback Chad Henne as a result of Miami’s 34-27 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. With a 10-point lead in the 4th quarter, Henne threw two interceptions – the first set up a Dave Rayner field goal and the second was returned for the game-winning touchdown. And despite WR Devone Bess taking the blame for falling down on the second pick, Miami fans have focused their blame on Henne and coach Tony Sparano.

A few players felt the sorrow of the fans after the pathetic loss (Yeremiah Bell apologized to the fans for an awful season), but team mouthpiece and perennial underachiever Channing Crowder ain’t having none of it. You see, according to Crowder, fans aren’t allowed to boo their team. That kind of behavior isn’t welcomed in Miami sports…

It’s time for “This Week In Canadian Rodeo,” where an enterprising young bull named Rewind decided to stop taking crap from his superiors and actually do something with his life. And apparently the first step of his own personal renaissance involved trampling a handful of Canadians. Hey, I approve.

“The bull is finished as far as this rodeo is concerned,” said Dale Leschiutta, president and interim general manager of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.[..]

“I look at the footage on TV and it seems like it happens real fast, but when you’re right there, it just seemed like it took forever,” witness Terri Croisetiere told the Journal. “Everybody was screaming and trying to get out of the way.”

Poor Rewind. It’s bad news when a bull can’t even find work in Canada. One woman did wind up going to the hospital, while several other spectators presumably made Canadian gravy in their pants. Is it bad that the only object of my empathy here is the bull? Seriously, when’s the last time anyone ever complained about “cruelty to Canadians?” Read the rest of this entry »

The power went out during the Cowboys-Giants game yesterday, and since it was a 4 o’clock game in November and it’s pitch-black outside by 5:00, that was a problem. And yes, since most of the east coast is afraid of the dark, there was a fight that we happily deliver to you after the jump. Of course, my power usually goes out during the late games and I wind up falling asleep on the couch, but to be fair, I’m not trying to power an entire stadium.

Though the first blackout at 6pm ET caused some players to hit the ground — well, you can’t be too careful with those late hits, especially if you literally can’t see them coming — several light banks did remain lit, which only resulted in a three minute delay of game. [..]

But eight minutes later, the whole stadium went dark with all the lights going out. This delay took 10 minutes before there were enough lights available to play the game (and 10 minutes later, all lights were back on.) –TIME.

Oh, by the way, new Cowboys coach Jason Garrett won his head coaching debut and snapped the Giants’ five-game win streak. But what I really want to know is why is that shirtless guy in the screencap so pale? I thought everyone in New Jersey had really deep, un-natural tans. And where is Snooki? There’s no way that she would miss such a big division game, right? Read the rest of this entry »
