There are two things I will never understand about sports fans: 1) why the sight of a fan in an opposing jersey will lead to physical conflict, and 2) why they would be willing to spend $8.50 for a beer only to hurl it in the direction of another fan.
Here we find some video from a Vancouver Canucks game that features both acts of idiocy.
After some incredibly weak slaps and idle threats of "YOU BETTER SIT DOWN," the Maple Leafs fan, nicknamed "Grizzly" by the fans in the surrounding seats, decides to take his $8.50 cup of Molson and douse the guy sitting two rows back. They were probably fighting over Mats Sundin.
When I wear my team's sweater into an opposing building I expect to hear some trash talk. That's part of it, and as long as it doesn't turn physical or cross any "lines" I have no problem with it. I've never found myself in a situation where I was on the brink of throwing down with another fan.
I've also never considering throwing my beer. Hell, I spent $8.50 for a Labatt's at a Penguins game on Tuesday night and spilled a couple of drops on the way back to my seat. I felt bad about it because I knew I was cheating myself. As if I wasn't already cheating myself by paying $8.50 for a watered down Labatt's.
