Bring my opponents before me as I must look into the eyes of those I crush on the battlefield

Boston sports fans keep it classy.
After Tyreek Hill caught a pass from Patrick Mahomes and sprinted into the end zone Sunday night, his momentum took him to the edge of the seats at Gillette.

The defenses for both teams pretty much took the night off in that one, as exemplified on that very play.
As far as beer and middle fingers from the stands, that’s pretty much dog-bites-man to me.
“Brought to you by the people who vote for Elizabeth Warren. Keeping it classy. “

Not necessarily!
One million MA residents voted for Trump and many Rhode Islanders regularly attend Pats games.
Even Republicans can act like idiots at an NFL game.

I guess Philly doesn’t have the copyright on that behavior.
That’s low class, fans...
It’s A GAME
Geebus isn’t ANYONE teaching ‘good sportsmanship’ anymore?
Anyone attending these games should douse each other with beer for supporting anti-American thugs.
Yes, I was referring to the people who flipped him off and threw the beer. Most certainly liberals. Thanks.
And who gave us the Kennedys, sKerry and Tippy
Flipping an opposing player off is classless but not much can be done. Throwing a beer on a player should result in an immediate expulsion from the stadium and a ban for a period of time. That is crossing the line.
Shoulda hucked beer at and flipped off Harmon, Chung, the McCourty twins - whoever was out there in the secondary who let that bullsh*t happen in the first place.
You put 75,000 people together some of them are bound the be aholes. Especially when you throw booze in.
You saw defense?
not in the big cities ... and that's where the pro teams play ...
The Anti-American NATIONLESS Felon League, including the New England Turncoats can rot!
One more thing, gutless Tom Brady doesn't even have the stones or decency to go to the White House to meet with President Trump after being invited, the guy's a coward cowed by his liberal wife.
Like I said; Who cares? All these loosers in the nfl really care about is taking your money, nothing more.
Brady is a wuss, see post 15
Uh huh, keep telling yourself that, he is the GOAT
Good sportsmanship ? Is curling the last refuge ?
Good sportsmanship
More so than in many other team sports, good sportsmanship, often referred to as the “Spirit of Curling”, is an integral part of curling. In the United States there was even a theology of curling.
The Spirit of Curling also leads teams to congratulate their opponents for making a good shot, strong sweeping or spectacular form. Perhaps most importantly, the Spirit of Curling dictates that one never cheers mistakes, misses or gaffes by one’s opponent (unlike most team sports) and one should not celebrate one’s own good shots during the game beyond modest acknowledgement of the shot such as a head nod, fist bump or thumbs-up gesture. Modest congratulation, however, may be exchanged between winning team members after the match. On-the-ice celebration is usually reserved for the winners of a major tournament after winning the final game of the championship. It is completely unacceptable to attempt to throw opposing players off their game by way of negative comment, distraction or heckling.
A match traditionally begins with players shaking hands with and saying “good curling” or “have a pleasant game” to each member of the opposing team. It is also traditional in some areas for the winning team to buy the losing team a drink after the game. Even at the highest levels of play, players are expected to call their own fouls.
It is not uncommon for a team to concede a curling match after it believes it no longer has any hope of winning. Concession is an honourable act and does not carry the stigma associated with quitting, and also allows for more socializing. To concede a match, members of the losing team offer congratulatory handshakes to the winning team. Thanks, wishes of future good luck and hugs are usually exchanged between the teams. To continue playing when a team has no realistic chance of winning can be seen as a breach of etiquette.
Apparently, you.

In general, bad fan behavior has become normal.
There’s a stadium, short track oval raceway in Winston-Salem. The last time I was there a group of little kids 7 or so years old would hang over the side wall flipping their fingers at one particular driver every time he came by.
The approving parents were sitting 5’ away.
