The NFL season is a week underway. For the second year in a row, I made it to opening day in true form. Last year, I was in San Diego to see my Bears, unfortunately, lose against the Chargers. This year, I was supporting my in-law’s favorite team, the Niners, against the Cardinals. Unfortunately, the highlight of both of these years was the tailgate before the games.

Of course, the loss is always a downer but more recently, NFL hooligans are also a pretty big downer that seem to be getting worse. Last year, this jerk was yelling racial slurs at Bears Fans. At the Niners game, another guy had me yelling “pants up in front!” while I was trying to enjoy the game.<\/div>\n

And then, during Monday Night Football<\/a>, the Ultimate Fan and his dad, watched Raider fans beating each other bloody. An intimidated usher did not even send for help and fans had to take matters in their on hands when cleaning crews merely wiped away blood at McAfee Collesium with water. It took a good samaritan fan to find a supervisor to bleach and disinfect the bloody railings.\u00a0<\/div>\n

The NFL recently took measure to curb NFL hooliganism which they finally “realized” was on the rise. In fact, in 2003, at a Bengals game, I saw a man so drunk that he fell on a elderly woman in the row in front of him. Of course, her son decked him in the face but he was too drunk to react. I can’t help but wonder if it is a little too late. Sure, there are great NFL fans and it is always a vocal and embarrassing minority that ruin it for everyone. But, come on, the NFL is getting so out of hand that you might as well tailgate outside the stadium and corral all the jerk-offs in the stadium. This is truly a new low.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
