Dumping this misfortune on this one poor snook who was just doing what fans do at a ballgame is just ridiculous. It's not like the guy was responsible for all the miscues that followed. The Marlins just made the plays and the Cubs just couldn't stop them. Those things happen in sports.
This coming from someone who is not a Cubs fan (but I was pulling for them against the Marlins).
No doubt. You can't even get the nation to pull coherently for its own military but you can get millions of people wanting to kill one poor schmuck who did something many of them would've done in the same situation. A baseball fan loves his team- win or lose. He stands by them through thick and thin. But let the going get even a little bit tough for our military and you get the same people wanting to quit the endeavor and not see the task through.
One is a game, one is not. I wish people could work up the same fervor for what is serious as they do for their recreation.
