This was at a Philadelphia Eagles game. Taking on one jerk is one thing but he would have ended up dead when the crowd jumped him. It is not safe for people around those drunk animals.
Security should have been called and the loud mouth removed.
That was my first thought. Hubby wouldn’t have even thought to film it, he’d have just put his lights out for him.
“Following the Arbuckle scandal, Universal Studios was the first to require morality clauses in its actor contracts. The standard language in 1921 provided:
The actor (actress) agrees to conduct himself (herself) with due regard to public conventions and morals and agrees that he (she) will not do or commit anything tending to degrade him (her) in society or bring him (her) into public hatred, contempt, scorn or ridicule, or tending to shock, insult or offend the community or outrage public morals or decency, or tending to the prejudice of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company....”

“The small DEI company has gotten millions in federal funding.”
Calling Vivek—big mess on aisle 3.
Big mess on aisle 3.
Indicating support for the Packers when they are playing the Eagles in South Philadelphia would generally be a “dumb” idea.
I don’t know if the stadium has a separate seating area for opposing team fans.
Don Henley Must Die!
He has also been banned from future home Eagles games.
A drunk one.
What kind of a “man” does not defend his wife after a barrage of disgusting remarks against her? The husband should have kicked the s^^t out of the Philly fan, and if he failed at least his wife would respect him.
From what I’ve heard, Green Bay Packers fans are the most decent and classy of any major sports team. A couple of friends of mine traveled out there to see a game as fans of the visiting team. As they walked through the parking lots before the game with their “enemy” jackets and hats, they were treated as welcome guests by every group of tailgaters they passed.
quotes (which need to be understood in context):
[said by the guy’s former boss from what I understand]
describing the First Amendment as the “number one challenge” that makes it “tricky” to remove content.
use of “demonetization”
The aim was to emphasize increased “accountability” for platforms that didn’t crack down on misinformation from “uninformed and disconnected centers of power.”
“undermine the election conversation”
really worth reading:

He behaved as a bully and an ass, and as a manager would be a potential legal liability at any company. Most especially at a DEI company.
Company was right to can him.
A lot of keyboard warriors here. Would they really risk becoming a felon and losing rights over this?
From the story:
Basara explained that he wanted no part in a physical altercation.
“It was a tough situation,” he wrote on X. “Surrounded by hostile people including 2 of his buddy’s (one his brother). If I got physical there was no good ending there.”
The video in the story doesn’t start at the beginning of the incident. Why was Basara taking a video? How did he know two of the surrounding people were “his buddies” and one was his brother?
In my younger days, I had no problem getting into someone's face as a young karateka. As I matured, I learned "distance and deescalation." Both are defensive actions, like building a new castle wall while talking peace with your neighbors. The world has changed so much; I carry a gun outside my house after forty years of karate. I open carry; it deescalates situations before they occur. A famous karate fighter had a drug addict break into his house. He told me he did not use karate; he scratched, bit, and tackled him through a door. Once outside, the addict ran.
In my younger years I was pretty intense into Chinese boxing. The first master I studied with was all about block-strike-strike techniques. There was no discussion of the mental aspects of the art, ever… even after years of training.
So I left him, and found a master who had a balanced approach. One of his techniques was “winning by losing”. Perhaps you have heard of that. You achieve your goal in a verbal confrontation without escalation to violence.
But if your opponent puts hands on you, then it’s different. Time for those block-strike-strike techniques and more.
BCT Partners has a short shelf life, IMO.
I used to live near Oakland, remember going to games there. Stadium literally smelled like crap because of plumbing issues and opposing fans and players would occasionally get c or d-cell batteries thrown at them. So when I see folks in opposing jerseys, first thought is are they nuts? Kinda like that girl who was jogging around Memphis if all places and got murdered. I get people should be able to and have an enjoyable experience, but good lord, turn on your brain to the reality. But after what you said, it’d make sense for a Packer fan to be a bit naive.
I was about to say the same thing. I know it isn’t pretty, but one Eagles fan heckling the opposing team’s fan as a dumb c___t is par for the course.
Steeler’s fans are just as bad, home or away. They attacked a Colts fan bus once after a playoff game in Pittsburg and come to Indy with their stupid towels and get really on odious even when they lose.
