bladiebla Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/794391/857...rs_1_17_10.html I mean WTF....
bills_fan Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Good for #56 in the Chargers jersey, giving the Jet fan's gf his contact info to act as a witness. Not sure if the Jet fan was arrested or merely escorted out of the stadium. Either way, it appears to be BS from that video.
coloradobillsfan Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 i could easily see myself as that guy, so i'm curious to know how this story unfolds. it would be one thing if he was taunting the fans by shouting 'chargers suck' but from the limited footage before the arrest he seemed to be only yelling positive stuff for his team. i think it's more than telling that multiple chargers fans stuck up for him. i hate the jets, but i hate seeing any football fans who enthusiastically support their team get such a bum rap. that said, he probably should not have resisted as much as he did
DC Tom Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/794391/857...rs_1_17_10.html I mean WTF.... I love it that someone started chanting "Attica! Attica! Attica!" That's ridiculous, though.
Delete This Account Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 oh, my bad. i thought he was yelling "Nets, Nets, Nets." now that would be grounds for removal in any self-respecting sports facility. jw
shrader Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 There's an awfully convenient edit job there.
Fezmid Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 There's an awfully convenient edit job there. That's what I thought when watching it... Although most of the fans in that area seemed to agree that it was wrong...
shrader Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 That's what I thought when watching it... Although most of the fans in that area seemed to agree that it was wrong... I don't doubt there reactions, but it's tough to make any conclusion thanks to that edit. But anyway, it's a slow day so I'll give it a shot. You hear comments about someone throwing something at the Jets fan. At that point, security has to start to worry about the safety of everyone in that section. Most don't like it, but it's a hell of a lot easier to remove the one Jet fan instead of the thousands of Charger fans. I'd guess that they came down to escort him somewhere else, but he put up a fight. Pure speculation, but what the hell. It's what we do on this board.
thebug Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 We know he didn't do anything, but we already started to arrest him, so we can't stop now or we will look bad. !@#$ing idiots.
KD in CA Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 There's an awfully convenient edit job there. Yeah, that video is useless as a means to assess what happened. Whoever filmed it missed the entire lead up to the arrest. The cops weren't even in the picture at the very beginning when he's chanting "Jets" and all the sudden he's in cuffs.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Maybe Chargers security gets a bit antsy... considering they deal with the Raider lunatics once a year. But, maybe don't allow visiting fans in the stadiums anymore. If you go to youtube and check as many situations like these, it's always the opposing fan being removed and sometimes the opposing team fan isn't the one at fault.

The cops weren't even in the picture at the very beginning when he's chanting "Jets" and all the sudden he's in cuffs. In my mind, it does more to make the Jets fan look bad than anyone else. He's taunting Chargers fans and then it cuts to him resisting arrest. A couple questions come to mind: Why is this being filmed and who is filming it? Do the people saying "he didn't do anything" know the Jets fan? And of course the obvious, what happened during the edit? Now I'm not going to support anyone's actions here (especially since we have no clue what happened), but it looks like one of those "you should know better" situations. Nothing good is ever going to happen when you taunt and entire stadium full of fans like that.
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I think every Jets fans should be arrested, no questions asked. They are awful, awful people.
thebug Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I think every Jets fans should be arrested, no questions asked. They are awful, awful people. That's a very good point.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 That's a very good point. Pats* and Fins fans too, while you're at it. PTR
linksfiend Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 There's an awfully convenient edit job there. I'm with you Shrader. These aren't just three security guys in orange shirts - these are three gun-toting police officers. Something was happening to bring them over. And resisting is never a good idea.
yall Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 People are idiots. Cops are people. Do the math.

If that's the case, they shouldn't even sell them the tickets. That's what they do in Europe to prevent fights in the stands.

There's nothing stopping you from doing it, but like I said, it almost never leads to good things. When you go looking for trouble, most of the time, you find trouble.
