Baseball “Fans”?

Watching baseball live is no longer a family event. We were enjoying a game last night with our 5 year old. Until the end of the 5th inning when 5 Hispanic gentlemen sat down behind us and began having a loud conversation not related to the game. This is what they sounded like in print,

“Hey motherfucker, these are great seats for the price.”
“Fuck ya. I thought sitting in the fucking corner was going to suck, man. Shit, these are awesome.”
“We were sitting fucking way up there. Fucking good seats, too, but these are better motherfucker.”

You get the gist. Every other word out of their mouth was a profanity. My wife asked politely if they can refrain a bit due to the 5 year old. They start muttering, “that’s the difference between an East coast game and a West coast game.” Of course at this point they are talking out of their asses.

How sad to think that no one has any consideration any longer. You can cheer and support your team. Profanities are the norm in that respect. Just grow up and be aware that some of us are trying to raise children who understand respect and consideration. I’m not talking the “liberal” kind, either. I’m talking real values.

My attitude changed when I checked the score this morning. I don’t like hoping our team would lose, but this time I did, and they lost big time after holding a lead all game.

Take that you motherfuckers. Inconsiderate jackasses.
