Emabarassing To Be A Dodger Fan On This Incident

As many of you know, I am a fanatical Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Have been since a little kid back in the 1970s.
Two prerequistes to being a Dodger fan.
One, you must HATE, visceral hate, the New York Yankees. It goes back to the days of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the proclivity for the dreaded Yankees to embarass the Dodgers every October in the World Series. The only Brooklyn win over the hated Yankees was in 1955.
Two, see the above and replace the team with the New York/San Francisco Giants. Again, one must have visceral hate for the Gnats.
But, when two so-called Dodger "fans" took their anger out on a Gnats fan last week at Dodger Stadium, well certain things changed. And worse of all is that the fan, Brian Stow, now has brain damage.
There is a lot to gleam off of this story and none of it good.
In recent years, the once family-friendly ball park has had to have armed Los Angeles police walking around the ballpark to keep things in line. When I went to Dodger games in the 1970s and 80s and even the 90s, one rarely saw the black uniform of the L. A. police. Because the ushers had everything under control usually.
Some are blaming this on the current Dodger owner, Frank McCourt. I do not think that it is all his fault.
An observation from my pal An Unmarried Man is spot on.

Only recently I’ve noticed with dismay that the Dodger organization and franchise seem to have inadvertently found themselves drawing the “skinhead” crowd. You know, those mini-gangster Hispanic mafioso urban guys with shaved heads, sagging jeans, white sneakers and Dodger jerseys and caps. This demographic seemed to have fulfilled the void left by the departed Los Angeles Raiders and company.

Ahh yes, the once Los Angeles Raiders. They have had a lovely rep in the sports world. The "fans" of the Raiders are, how can I write this nicely. . .goons and savages. They thrive on being some of the worst that sports has to offer. It is as if at an American football game, soccer hooligans invaded. And the rep is mostly deserved.
I survived my one and only Raider game in the Los Angeles coliseum back in 1994. That is when the Raiders were playing the mighty Cleveland Browns. The Browns mopped the floor with the Raiders. I was decked out in Browns regalia. I did not get beaten up or anything like that. Maybe that was because by then it was pretty clear that the Raiders were heading back to Oakland, their original home.
Back to An Unmarried Man's point.
The quality of Dodger "fans" is now the lowest common denominator.
I have been to at least three to four games a season. And one aspect I notice about the goon fans is that they are no longer relagated to the cheap seats. No, not at all.
They are somehow buying the good seats. And acting like buffoons for all to see.
Now I do not know if all these "fans" are juiced-up on adult beverages and or worse. But they just seem to be looking for trouble.
Another important point is that the Leftywhore media did not want to identify the two suspects as Hispanic until they absolutely had to. And of course it was kind of nessecary once the police released skecthes of the suspects. What a shock! Two Hispanics that had shaved heads. But hey, we do not want to indict the whole Hispanic community, right?
Sometimes it is nessecary. I am not suggesting that all trouble makers are Hispanic skinheads. But a lousy "fan" is a lousy "fan". And if pointing out that these goons are Hispanic, so be it.
I know that some are going to say what about the way Gnat's fans treat Dodger fans up in AT & T Park?
If there are fans beaten by others, it is bad no matter what.
One thing to shout at the players. Another to smack other people around.
I am a player shouter. As I have gotten older and realize that there are kiddies around, I have to try to be creative in insulting players on the other team. A stream of profanities is not good. But there is nothing wrong with showing displeaseure at the other team. But remember, it is a game after all.
Too bad these two goons did not realize it.
I hate to admit that I am embaressed being a Dodger fan. But I would never beat someone just because they are for the other team. It is called savagery.
