The article and video of a fan assaulting another fan at last night’s Panthers/Eagles game should not surprise me, as I can recount some very raucous behavior years ago at the old Foxboro Stadium. Fan behavior became so intolerant that the NFL subsequently ruled out scheduling any Monday Night Football at Foxboro Stadium.
Enter Robert Kraft and his pursuit of making attendance to a Patriots game a family-friendly environment. And to this day, he and his staff have remained vigilant in perpetuating a safe and enjoyable experience for game day attendees.
In spite of which, I find the attached video clip simply appalling.
However, that being said, there’s always some moron, drunk or sober, that exceeds the boundaries of legitimate fan excitement and behavior. Behavior that I might have personally tolerated in years gone by, but now, at my age, I no longer feel capable of defending myself if a volatile situation presented itself amidst a crowd.
Thus, although I’ll be visiting friends in Mexico City on 19th and been offered a ticket to the PATS/Raiders game, after viewing the flagrant assault video recorded at the Panthers/Eagles game, I’ve decided that I’d much rather sit on the couch, partake of a few cerveza, and enjoy the game hassle free.
