Right Back at You

There I was, peddling away on my exercycle while watching the Vikings-Saints’ game Sunday.  And what the camera did catch, right after the Vikings kicked a point after—some proud Saints’ fan flipping a double-bird to the FOX football audience.  Why, thanks, buddy, and right back at you.

There’s a thin, verging on invisible, line dividing acceptable behavior at a sporting event from the stuff idiots do.  The Saints’ fan, like most Yankees’ fans, was full-on idiot.  I yell at players but never swear at them those White Sox games I go to.  Call it learned behavior.  My father never swore when he took me to a game, and I certainly never swore (or threw anything) when I took Clare to games.  Kids learn what you teach them.

So, who raised this Saints’ guy?  Oh, and buddy, your team still lost, again.
