This bunch of spoiled brats and media darlings need to play a real football team, so they would learn a little humility. I suggest LSU or USC. They are big frogs in a tiny pond, and their actions show poor breeding.
Rutckas is in Noo Joisey. Whaddaya want!?
Rutgers Fans’ Abuse of Navy Players Elicits Media Yawn...
because it was the Navy.....
maybe they should have called them ~ nappy headed!!!
If any silver lining can be hoped for when the savages visit our shores it will that the very first to feel the sharp edge of their hatchets on their worthless necks will be liberals who infest our institutions of higher learning.
Of course when this happens we know the libs will be screaming/demanding the military save them and whining it took to long for them to get there.
The little punks who apparently infest Rutgers are emblematic of the total, top to bottom corruption of the state of NJ, a percolating toxic waste dump which makes Louisiana look like an Arcadian heaven on earth. Just consider some of the NJ’s more recent, corrupt political dirtballs, known to outside observers; Old pump and dump Corzlime, [in such decline that he has to buy his babes and even then they don’t stay bought] Lousenberger, the senile gungrabber, runtman, show me the money Toricelli, [why Bobbie we hardly knew ye], he being a ‘very close friend’ of Governor McGreevey, the queen of the stalls [and the YMCA showers], the New Jersey Supreme Court, a pack of Democrat shills who always do what they are told, and the absolutely positively totally brain dead Christie Whitman, aka Governor sock puppet. And for everyone of these there are twenty state and local political crooks taking bribes, getting indicted and/or sitting in jail. Not a good place. Scumbag central, in fact.
The Rutgers students have to keep the intensity up no matter if the opponent is from the University of our Sacred Mother Friggin Theresa. They can be nice after the football season is over. This is about a football game and like it or not Navy was the opponent.
I don’t like what happened off the field at Virginia Tech either, but it wasn’t football and I’m sure not gonna give those conference-hoppin-traitor-dumbasses down in Blacksburg a break.
What evidence is there that the Rutgers fans treated the Navy team any worse than the team they played the week before? Vulgar taunts by the home team’s fans to the opposing team are not news. Nothing that has been reported indicates that they were saying anything specifically anti-military, or physically attacking the players. If Rutgers fans were yelling the same thing at Maryland, no one would care.
You read see this. Navy, Rutgers’, Don Imus, and the New York Times.
I imagine that this treatment was not reserved only for the visiting Midshipmen. It is probably indicative of the treatment of any opponent. Sadly, that doesn’t make Rutgers unique.
It is wrong to treat opponents this way, whether it is how Rutgers treats Navy or how Florida treats Tennessee or how USC treats UCLA or how Ohio State treats Michigan or... you see my point.
The goal of making the home field a “tough place to play” often crosses the line from supporting the home team to abusing the visiting team. It’s a hard thing to stop, regardless of the opponent.
If Rutgers fans/students saved this treatment for the service academies, I would be a lot more concerned about it. But if they treat all visitors like this (and I imagine that now they have won a few ballgames this decade, they probably do), I think the problem is simply a lack of respect (and class) for any visiting team, not just Navy. Classless fans are everywhere, and you can’t make them act classy for a single game, then advocate the poor behavior in later games.

2. This is the proper way to disrupt the visiting team:
Key question: How do Rutgers fans treat other visiting teams? The same? Then Navy has no beef. Neither does the author.
I attended a West Virginia University Mountaineers’ football game last year with the Cincinnati Bearcats, right around Veterans’s Day.
When they introduced some young West Virginia servicemen who had just returned from Iraq, the players and coaches from both team were standing, clapping, jumping up and down, and waving towels over their heads for these real heroes.
It made me proud to be an American, a native born West Virginian, and a Mountaineer football fan!!!
Take heart! There are still people out there who understand sacrifice and heroism doesn’t start and end on the gridiron.
Bunch of p#ssies. The middies are going to be playing a much more violent game in the coming years than these limp d#cked so called men at Rutgers could ever imagine.
So Rutgers, I stand with my right arm fully extended, middle finger at attention and wish you well.
