Depends on who you have sitting behind you. There's no doubt your back row neighbors b*tched you out. I stood the damn near the whole game, and so did the crew behind me. No issues whatsoever.
happened to me yesterday. had a beligerent old man who must have been in his lates 60's 70's who told me to sit the fuck down when I stood on a 3rd down while we were on defense. I turned around and just shook my head No. He then proceeded to get in my face and point his finger at me calling me a fucking prick. This was a jets fan by the way so I dont know what his problem was. He then proceeded to ask me what I accomplished by standing and yelling. (this was on the play where Cro got his int ). So i just turned around and said we got a pick and smiled. Suffice to say he shut the hell up the rest of the game.
true story: A-way back in the day fans in the box seats at Shea used to yell at the team to sit down because otherwise they couldn't see. Swear to god.
I've been on both sides of this issue... Last year at the Dolphins game I was told "down in front" on third down. When I turned around to ask why someone felt the need to say that to me when I wasn't standing at any point in the game except for a defensive third down, I turned around and saw that the culprit was some fucking douchebag in a GIANTS hat. Of course I immediately wrote him off. However, yesterday in 318 these three fucking imbecile's tried to stand up throughout the WHOLE game. 1st down 2nd down 3rd down (which imho, is really the only time you should be standing at a football game unless it's a big drive) and 4th, this one idiot fucking just kept standing and this other douche kept making out with his girlfriend in front of the whole section. I mean c'mon man have you ever been to a football game? Sit the fuck down. You can still be loud from a sitting position. For a finale, jerkoff number 1 without the girlfriend tried lighting a cigarette from his seat. Put that shit out and go fucking downstairs like everyone else including me.
Very nice. I was going back and forth with two Pats fans in my section as well. Calling Moss a slouch, etc. I was given a nice shitburger to eat and accepted my crow when Moss made that ridiculous catch, but at the end of the game when I was serenading them with a New England favorite by the Dropkick Murphy's, right in the middle of telling them to "ship it up to boston" I was called a "fucking pussy". That doesn't seem fair to me!
That's Bullshit. The scoreboards light up "On Your Feet". So for him to try that is a bunch of BS. You did the right thing.
For those that would like to sit the entire game, I'm sure the best thing would be to watch it from your couch. This is football. Respectfully, Vincent Wilson
I will say standing up the entire time is ridiculous. There's no point to it, other than annoying everyone around said person. It's also a lot worse if it's the entire time and there are kids behind the person. I've gone to and continue to go to sporting events from all sports. There isn't one where it even makes any sense to stand up the entire time. That said at certain points I understand standing and yelling so I pretty much have no issues unless someone is just being stupid about standing (doing it the entire time or a ridiculous amount, especially if kids are sitting behind the person).
My god man, how long has your wife kept you nuts in her purse? You need a transfusion of testosterone stat, your nuts are starting to form a vagina. If that does not work I suggest a switch to a sport where most fans really don't give a fuck. I'd Suggest tix to the WNBA or perhaps a MLS franchise.
At game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in 2006, I can tell you that 99% of the arena stood for the entire third quarter, and it made perfect sense. But I agree with you for the most part, but some people have no sense whatsoever and want to just sit back like they are on the couch the whole time. I had an old man yell at my 10 year old sit down during a penalty shot in a tie hockey game. If it is a tight game and you have a defensive minded team you should be standing (and yelling)on most third downs.
My section stands for pretty much the whole game. It's all good fun during the big moments of the game..but after awhile it gets a bit annoying.
The section I was in on Sunday stood when needed. It was like dominos- the guy in front of the guy in front of the guy in front of him stood, which worked to make everyone behind him stand, and then the guy behind me etc etc. Who cares? You aren't standing the whole game, and you absolutely wish that you were standing when sitting in the freaking car, stuck in traffic, making good time (only 3 hours) getting back to Long Island.
