Dodgers Facing Multiple Fan Lawsuits Over Injuries Sustained by Stadium Security
Looks like most sports teams are looking toward the mean stream. Like the Oakland Raiders were and are still trying to be. Teams try to look meaner, tougher than the others so the fans follow. Years ago the Raiders were just about the meanest team in football. they won games but also got the most penalties. Around the time the Raiders moved to LA the first time I went to a baseball game at candles stick park. I had never seen baseball fans so mean, it reminded me of the Raider fans. Of course, we were for the other team but still, it’s a baseball game geeze! A few years later I went to a dodger/Angel game in Anaheim, same dang thing. What has gone wrong with sports nowadays? It doesn’t matter who looks the meanest or the badest one is going to win and the other loses. No one player is ever humble anymore. Go out there play the game hope to do good and be proud not brag. We don’t need all these gestures and hoopla about hitting a homer or scoring a touchdown, dancing like an idiot and doing obscene things. This is not teaching our young chilren good behavior.
