Dear Folks Sitting Behind Me For Game 1

PrintI know it is unlikely that these four goons read this site or even pay attention to the details of hockey besides winning and losing, but here we go.
I have been playing hockey for 14 of 18 years on this planet, and now play D2 club at the University of Missouri, which makes coming back for Blackhawks games other than breaks really hard. I attended a few over Christmas and a couple here and there. In all of my short amount of years attending or playing the game, I have never met a group that is more inconsiderate group of humans in my entire life.
My parents spent a hell of alot of money to get tickets to game 1 since it was the only playoff series that I have been back in town for. I have never been to a championship game for any of my teams because I chose to follow three of the most cursed teams ever (Hawks, Vikings, Cubs.) I am sure like most of you, I was insanely excited for this game.
Once we got to our seats, four 30-45 year old men came and sat behind us. I didn't think much of it then until he starting screaming his lungs out an hour before warm-ups about how awesome this was. This is fine, but eventually they would begin to cross the line. My parents have this big deal with non-stop swearing that really bugs them. So once the game started, whether it be at every faceoff, saying "WIN WIN WIN FUUUUUUUUUCC** COME ON TOEWS" or at every shot on net WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING HAWKS" or several other instances, my parents eventually turned around to them and told them to please keep the swearing at a minimum.
Instead of being mature people, they "accidentally" spilled beer on my mom, sister, and me, kept swearing, and saying this was "part of hockey and how we were obviously lost." My father then went and told a service rep to calm them down. This did nothing as they kept heckling us and telling us "this wasn't Church camp and how rowdy crowds win Stanley Cups"
Normally, I don't involve myself with goons like this because it only leads to trouble and especially with this being the best game of my life, I wasn't ready to risk being thrown out. But, it got to the point where they disrespected my family that I could not hold back. I yelled at them to grow up, stop being so goddamn mean, the problem was not the swearing, but rather the disrespect for elders was really unbelievable and I do know what I am doing, I have played more minutes than you have watched two fold. They threatened to get me kicked out for "being disrespectful to elders," but instead continued to be jackasses, knocking my hat off, saying how the world will be filled with "88 kaners" (my jersey I was wearing) and how kids these days show no respect.
While nothing came to it because I refused to react because it would have certainly ended in a fight, I just tuned them out and tried to watch the game. The point all of this brings to is 1) Just because you are 20 or so years older than me, doesn't earn you instant respect and knowledge over me 2) People like this put a damper on an otherwise joy of a time I had at the game.
So, if you are reading this, you belligerent drunks, please next time, show some respect, and watch the game like true hockey fans.

No doubt
these were greenhorn Hawks fans trying to act as if they’d been there.
Sorry your experience at the game was lousy.

regardless of their hockey acumen or lack thereof...
…how anyone could treat a fellow Hawk fan let alone anyone for that matter with such little respect is beyond me.
The world is unfortunately filled with quite a few douche bags and you happened to sit behind four of them.
First time poster
I reside over at windy city gridiron, but i’m a huge Hawks fan… and i’m in utter disbelief over this.
I can understand doing this to a Packer fan or something…but not your own kind, during the finals, it should be all high-fives and beer drinking and hugging, especially with the kind of game that Game 1 was. I almost had like 5 different heart attacks, and I’m in my mid 20’s.
Be glad that no matter what, you don’t have to live with yourself everyday being a scumbag like them. they’ll suck forever, while you only had to endure that for a few hours.
Go Hawks!
There is nothing worse than hitting submit on an a great post, only to realize you spelled a word wrong
sorry
These guys are obvioulsy idiots, but your first two paragraphs? I mean, if you’re goin’ for “hard luck story”…
Overall, not a great use of the FanPost.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
Um no
That’s exactly what fanposts are for. Where else should he post this, a GDT?
Also there’s nothing wrong with setting the scene, that’s what good writers do..
Hey you wernt at game 1 with 3 of your buddies were you?
Second City Hockey
I'm with you. It seemed like a good post to me.
As a guy, ahem, 20 years older (damn it, ok, 32 years) than FT, I can say those guys were complete and total jerks. However, I’ve had similar experiences with jerks in their teens and early 20s. So jerks come in all ages, sizes, and gender. It’s really unfortunate you had to endure that and I’m very disappointed security didn’t do anything about this situation.

agree
I’ve been weary of all the fanposts lately, but this was one well-deserved rant. I hate it when Hawks fans go and ruin the game for other Hawks fans…I’d MUCH rather spend the whole game sitting next to newbie hockey fans who ask a lot of basic questions than these jokers.
Sorry you had such a bad experience!

What a bunch of D-Bags
I sat in 326 and was surrounded by great people minus two dumb bitches who wouldn’t sit down but even when I made a “mistake” by leaning forward (I didn’t even realize) the guys were super cool and just politely asked me to lean back. Hell, apparently I was the only one all season who obliged (they are STH’s), as everyone else gave them a hard time, they bought me a beer for myself and my sister. Hawks fans are some of the best in the city. Unfortunately, for those that are not hardcore, experiences like this can ruin perceptions of this team.

Not to condone their behavior:
Honestly, if my friends and I spent a ton of money to go to Game 1, and then a fucking family in front of us asked us to stop swearing so much, I’d probably be more than a little pissed off. Ordinarily, in my everyday life, I would be embarrassed and try to tone it down, but the huge expense of the tickets, the amount of alcohol we would have undoubtedly consumed, and the adrenaline of the night would conspire to make me an ass. Sorry you fell on the wrong side of that, and these guys definitely took it too far (pouring beer on your family? What a dick move!), but asking people to tone down the cursing at a play-off game is borderline rude too.

I disagree, Meeshak
I’m not a big fan of public swearing at any venue. It’s just not necessary, IMO. Probably parents are more sensitive to this than non-parents.
Maybe, but my friends’ parents certainly swore enough when we were growing up to make me think it might just be a class thing.
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
I disagree as well
I clearly talk like a sailor, but none of my friends in HS swore (hey, I grew up in Wheaton), the women in my family never swore, and the men rarely did by comparison of what I’m used to these days. But I watch my mouth around them only because it bothers them, and I want to be respectful of that — and b/c it bothers them to hear it more than it bothers me not to talk like that.
That said, every now and then I get overly excited and forget to watch my mouth (as EVERYONE in the Taphouse can attest to for the last game). But in that case, I clasp both hands over my mouth and go to hide under the table while mumbling “oops, sorry….” or something.
and then i smile adorably and all is forgiven.

just because it is a playoff game doesnt give you the right to yell f-bombs and just be loud and annoying. Dont, get me wrong, I sware all the time, and my dad does too, but these guys were over the line, screaming f**k and c**t every 15 seconds. If you think that is right, then there is something seriously wrong with your perspective of the game of hockey.

I didn’t say it is right. There isn’t a right or a wrong. It’s a language. Sorry it ruined your experience, but whatever.

That telling people to tone it down is “borderline rude.” If my parents paid 2 grand to go to a game, I think they deserve the right not to hear the worst swares in the dictionary yelled into their ear every minute.

Leave the cost out of it for a minute
Your parents chose to pay that much. I’m not saying everything they did is ok, but they also have the right to say those things. Your parents’ rights don’t trump the other guys’ because you don’t like what they were saying.

there was a time when there was some societal agreement that a bit of genteel behavior was expected in public
particularly among crowds with ladies and children.
Granted, ladies don’t act so much like ladies anymore – more like frat party antendees, and children are not expected to act all that civilized anymore. But if there are people in a mixed crowd asking someone to tone down the barberian behavior, such request oughtto be accomodated.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
There were no children involved
and this is a hockey game, not a tea party. I didn’t say everything these guys did was right or appropriate, but they have a right to their seats and viewing experience as much as Frozen Toews does.
As I’m sure you know, krome, very often, you’re stuck in front of obnoxious fans at games. You can ask nicely that they tone it down, but they don’t really have to and many choose not to.
by Katherine215 on Jun 3, 2010 10:58 AM CDT up reply actions
In a crowd of 22,000 there would have been youngsters nearby
you know I’m not unduly prudish – but when out at general public events (as opposed to a team locker room or a strip club), there is a very reasonable expectation that the cruder should yield to the more genteel in matters of behavior
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I'm not disagreeing that they probably crossed the line
I’m not a fan of certain swear words myself. But I just think you’re applying etiquette to a situation that doesn’t really warrant it. People are ignorant – it’s unfortunate that complaining to the UC staff didn’t have any effect but I still think the chatty guys have a right to say what they’d like.
Chatty?
Wow, talk about a future in marketing…
I disagree that they have a right to say what they’d like. How about “fire”?
Sorry
“The four guys swearing like assholes” was longer to type than chatty.
Saying fire could incite panic and/or riots. That’s obviously not acceptable behavior and people who do this are often arrested for disturbing the peace. I’m sure it’s happened, but it’s far more unlikely you would be arrested for swearing.
I have a right to do lots of things
I have a right to real off all sorts of racist, misogynistic or homophobic slurs, strung together in a marathon stream of douchebaggery – and no one could come to my defense for that or think that I ought to be doing that in a public setting.
I was raised by combat Marines – I’ve heard all those words. In the context of the sports locker room, I’ve dabbled in some rather artistic profanity. I understand that it is innapproprite in the general public setting.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
they're arrested for yelling "fire"
b/c it’s illegal, and an immediate threat to public safety and well-being. just to be clear.
by puppetmasterp on Jun 4, 2010 1:28 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm with krome.
There’s no doubt a hockey game is no place for folks with sensitive ears (literally or figuratively, I suppose). A few coarse words has to be expected.
But I read the post as saying that these mopes pretty much did nothing but scream fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck all night long. I mean, c’mon. Let’s substitute “shooooooooooooooooooot” for the f’bomb. You know half the people here would either tell them to STFU or would begin mocking them mercilessly.
Bottom line, your right to enjoy the game stops at the point where you ruin everyone else’s enjoyment of the game. Kinda like your right to swing your arm stops somewhere before it impacts someone’s nose.
teaching respect for the Indian, one Red Wing fan at a time.
Yes
Their right to swear ceases when it infringes on someone else’s right to enjoy the game.
I’ll take a “shoooooot” person or even a whistler before someone who has to toss F-bombs every other word.
Why didn't you just say so in a brief FanShot?
Look at all the controversy you stirred up. Damn it!
(I crack myself up.)
Wait a second...
So by that logic, if someone decides to take off their clothes at a game, which is their right, then everyone is obliged to accept that? There are acceptable levels of behavior in a society and again, IMO, excessive abusive swearing is not acceptable. I’m fairly certain you don’t approve the use of the “C” word or the “N” word but why are those words sacred and the “F” word is acceptable? I can see this argument is not going anywhere but I support Frozen Toews position on this irrespective of anyone’s cost of the tickets.
Of course not
You’re comparing apples and oranges. It’s against the law to take your clothes off in public. It’s not against the law to swear like a sailor. It’s also not against the law to yell idiotic things at a sporting event. There are “acceptable” swear words in society too. Most people turn the other cheek at shit or damn, fuck raises some eyebrows and probably the C word too, and the N word is generally not acceptable mainly due to the racial basis rather than the actual swearing aspect.
Gosh darn it
I just don’t think we’re going to see eye to eye on this one.
So where is the list of “acceptable” swear words and who decides what is included? I don’t recall a vote on that.
I don't think we are either.
I never mentioned a list. I said most people would find basic words like shit or damn acceptable. Actually, television is probably a good example of what is acceptable to society as a whole. So check with a network’s standards and practices department if you want a comprehensive list.
Now you're sounding like George:
The reason that Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were certain ladies that said “Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I don’t mind Fuck and Shit but ‘P’ and ‘C’ are out.”, which led to such
stupid sentences as “Okay you fuckers, I’m going to tinkle now.”
teaching respect for the Indian, one Red Wing fan at a time.
Me too
I’ve said what I had to say and I don’t think I can change any of your stupid fucking opinions.
that’s because you opinion is wrong.
(I crack myself up too)

then they deserve the right to say the worst swears in the dictionary every time it suits their fancy.

I disagree - the other people around also paid good money for their seats and should be able to enjoy them in a civilized atmosphere
Now, I don’t think we ought to have the Muttwah (or however the Suadi moral police is spelled), but adults do have some responsibility to behave like adults
Confusion will be my epitaph.
From what Frozen Toews said happened, I definitely think that these guys went over the line and probably should have been removed by security. There’s no excuse for purposely spilling beer on someone. That said, I don’t think there is a reasonable expectation when you go to a sporting event that you will not hear cursing.
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
I completely understand this, and so does my family
We have season tickets for Bears, Cubs, and Sox; there is swearing all the time and they never have a problem with it. When it comes to to just yelling them out for basically no reason, there is where you cross the line.
But we're also only reading one side of the story
Are you going a little over the top in your description? Who knows? Were your parents just as rude as the guys behind you when they “asked” them to settle down? In my experience, personally and as a witness, normally when someone “asks” someone to pipe down – especially at a sporting event – it is usually done in a condescending manner which always escalates the situation. Is that what happened? We don’t know. We only have your subjective opinion.
Did security find it necessary to warn or remove the “bad guys.” No, they did not. So that makes me wonder.
When it comes to to just yelling them out for basically no reason, there is where you cross the line.
So basically you have your rules for when swearing is acceptable and when it is not and they broke your rules. Must be tough that your parents have season tickets to basically every sporting event. My heart goes out to you for all your suffering.

Shutup
It has nothing to do with the situation, sorry my dad has worked everyday of his life to make his company successful so he can afford nice things. No need to take a shot at that
Shutup??
And therein lies my point.
My parents have this big deal with non-stop swearing that really bugs them.
Sounds like you guys may have been the ones out of line if you can’t accept an outside opinion or another person’s behavior because it doesn’t work within your rules.
Also you stated they “accidentally” spilled a beer. This is therefore your OPINION. Maybe it was an accident.
I yelled at them to grow up… …I do know what I am doing, I have played more minutes than you have watched two fold.
This is your assumption and definitely not something said to keep the situation from escalating. If a teenager turned around and played that card with most adults, I doubt many would take it any other way than they did.
I agree with cliff. This sounds like whiny crap.

1) When spilling beer happens more than once without an apology, I can not take it is an accident, its disgrace.
2) I really don’t care if you think I am a whiny teenager, the guys did not know the game, and if they did, they wouldn’t have acted like such idiots.
3) I brought it up once to talk about how this wasn’t my first sports game I ever attended that’s all
4) There is no such thing as self-entitlement just because you are older than someone. I am sure you were 18 like 30 years ago?

1. You didn’t state they spilled beer more than once. Multiple spills – yeah, either they were drunk or assholes (I’ve never disputed that they might be either or both).
2. It’s your opinion that they didn’t “know” the game. Pronger acts like an idiot. He knows the game quite well.
3. Fair enough, but with the mention of this and how much money your parents spent, etc, it sound a bit snooty.
4. Hehe. Yes, I guess I’m old. But you are contradicting yourself. You yourself stated that you yelled at these men in part for “disrespecting elders.” So there is obviously entitlement that comes with age. And as you noticed I didn’t say “me” I said “most adults” would respond to you the way they did.
5. Here’s my summary and then I’ll let us both get on with our lives. IMO, it sounds like both parties were at fault for escalating the situation. I wasn’t there, but even if I was, it would be my opinion. This is also your opinion, your side of the situation. The 4 guys probably have their own different take on what happened.
From my experience, having watched more minutes than you have played two fold, when someone gets out of line at an event, usually other people in the section come to the offended party’s defense. Security did nothing and it sounds like no one else intervened. That makes me believe that maybe there’s plenty of blame to go around. Just because these guys may have been meatheads doesn’t make you right and them wrong. But yes, they were wrong if they crossed the line.
Unfortunately life is full of mouthbreathers and sometimes you have to consider what will become of the situation when you choose to engage them. This was your first of what will probably be countless situations like this in your life. You can’t change other people, but you might be able to influence their behavior by how you respond.

other people got involved and security was brought over, but the reason things did not go higher is because we didnt want to get involved with something that interfered with us watching a spectacular hockey game.
Whatever, its just an opinion. My family is not a stuck up group of assholes though, we just wanted to enjoy the game. These guys interfered with that, plain and simple.
Yeah, I had to edit my reply above to ignore that comment, but seriously that’s a ton of money spent on rather frivolous things. I sure wish I had that sort of upbringing, and if so, I have no doubt that I’d expect some morons behind me to shut (the fuck) up on cue.

but they didn’t swear at his parents. They were just swearing. I think many people are considering this situation as occurring inside a box and not in its context. This was at the UC, at the SCF.

I just think it takes two to tango and I’m tired of people whining about their awful experience at a SCF game.

This story just keeps growing bigger like a fish story
Not only did they spill their beer once, they did it multiple times. Then they poured gasoline over my entire family and flicked matches at us, all the while swearing and saying how they were going to send smoke signals to Toews to let him know to get his ass in gear.
Security did nothing and even went as far as to insist that smoke signals were acceptable, this being the Blackhawks and all, as long as they didn’t scream “Fire!”
I yelled at them and told that that I was a Boy Scout and had more experience playing with fire than they had twofold. They threatened to take my Citizenship in the Community merit badge for not respecting my elders. I offered to walk them across the street after the game, but they declined and said they would rather kick my ass instead.

To your question:
Where else should he post this, a GDT?
This post coud have been inserted as a comment during any number of bitch sessions on the subject in various threads.
Editing out the sob story, it might read something like this:
“I was at game 1 with my parents. Behind us, these four guys were loud, swearing freely and spilling beer on us. Attempts to engage them just made matters worse and security was useless. What a bunch of assholes! Of course, we still had a great time, but it really bugged me.”
FanPosts occupy valuable real estate- they deserve better than this self-important whiny crap (what you refer to as “setting the scene”.)
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
perspective fail
This is EXACTLY what a fan post is for. If people like it, they will recommend it, comment on it, spark a dialogue and exchange. If it enough people like it it gets tagged a recommended fanpost, or the editors chose to front page it.
It is a community for crying out loud. If anyone here is being whiny, l kinda think it is you, trying to protect ‘valuable real estate’. Why- You want more Acai Berry Ads?
PS- I liked your editing: Perhaps we should just throw out the actual books and just stock Cliff Notes.

"cliff" notes
Intended pun? Ok, that was pretty funny regardless.
I’ve already had my ass handed to me in two separate fanposts this week for stating my opinion, so I’m only going to slightly step in it here. Is it fanpost material or not? Yes, I believe it is based on the effort that went into it. At least it’s not a 75 word fanposts which I’m not a fan of. (please don’t extrapolate this to mean that I think writing “HAWKS WIN” 1,000 times is a fanpost).
That being said, I find it ironic that we have multiple posts from people complaining about their experience BEING AT THE GAME FOR A HAWKS’ WIN DURING THE SCF! Fuck me.
If you choose to spend the money to go to a sports venue with 22,000 fanatics, chances are they not all going to be model citizens by your definition. If I couldn’t get tickets to the UC, but could to go see a game in Philly, I would go. I would expect to be surround by thousands of people who were not only rude to me, but who would spill beer on me, possibly puke on me, and definitely want to kick my ass – and I would thoroughly enjoy every minute of it (except the ass kicking) if the Hawks won.

With all the different comments,
I’d say this post is barely toilet paper worthy.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
