Fighting at BOA…. A fan just died at Foxboro

[DeAngelo Beason]

The welcoming nature of our fan base to opposing teams has always been revolting to me, but there's no excuse for physical violence.  It's a game.

I think that somehow in America, we've lost the ability to be around each other in public anymore. Add in alcohol and a competitive atmosphere, one often tinged with heavy doses of disappointment and frustration and you've got a recipe for conflict.

It just ain't worth it.

Eh....Don't think so...at least not in reality.  What we recall isn't as rosy as we think it was.

We are MUCH more civil than any time in our history.

That said, SPORT does take the place (to a certain extent) of our desperate love of combat.  Unfortunately, men need to fight/compete/prove, not all, but many, until their mid to late 20's.

Instead of beating everyone over the head and dragging women around by the hair, we just box, play football, practice martial arts, throw discus, play basketball, etc...it somewhat takes the place of that weird internal desire.

Some need to fight more than others, many of them are "die hard" fans.

So fuging dumb. I've gone to plenty of games and have generally had pleasant banter with opposing fans. Just let the dickheads get themselves tossed out.

It just takes being a decent mature person and using common sense.
