What I want to know FG is if you have season tickets?? After reading this entire thread, I will for sure be looking out for you on the main concourse level. I would hate to walk up to the wrong guy in a wheelchair though and ask him if he is the Flames Gimp...
yes...
I've been waiting for years for someone to ask if I'm the gimp just so I can say "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL ME?? lol

Heh. I actually already knew they were white because you didn't mention their race. I just wanted to raise that point.
I know a lot people will have a problem with me mentioning this but I feel like it's necessary to counteract all the subtle racist crap we experience on a day to day level. People often attach the race of a perpetrator to a crime when they are relaying back a story but skip the mention of race when the perpetrator is white. It might not seem like a big deal but it leads to some really messy things. Ex: Where people think that certain races are more likely to act in a some manner when there is no proof for that.
More specifically, the stereotype of bad East Asian drivers. Whenever you see a bad East Asian driver, you chalk it up to their race and it just compounds on the stereotype that you have built in your head. A nice little experiment is to account for race in every single bad driving experience that you have for the next 30 days. I guarantee you will be surprised by the results.

Anyways, sorry for the derail!
Bad drivers are from BC, of all races.

That's cause we are used to hills and corners. Most Albertans that come to BC freak out cause of these things called hills and corners. We see a straight stretch, which is pretty much all you've got out there, and we instantly think 'drive fast'

The Dome is a disgraceful hive of scum and villainy.
May have seen OP on concourse and it was a brutal crowd. That stadium is a joke and I hate having to navigate it just to see my team play. Calgary deserves way better.

ya i was just joking around anyways, not even sure if one was a red head, just white guys.
If they were a different race I would have used racial slurs - you F with me because I'm disabled I'm going to hit you back with something just as demeaning.

No, no. Just bad drivers. Prime example: I drive good all my life, move to BC...bam...back into a power pole. Now suddenly I've got hc plates on and I'm a ####ty driver

Do you have a blog, twitter or livejournal to make you feel better?
not sure if this a shot at me or a serious question, if it's the latter then no I don't, I usually get treated to a taste of discrimination at this level only about once a year, so an ongoing blog is pointless.
How does that relate at all? Edit: I know that Flames_Gimp and the guy in the video are both in wheelchairs... but that is where the similarities stop between the two stories.

Why didn't someone step in to help you, FG? I'm not a big guy and may have had my ass kicked, but that would not have stopped me. I'd have stepped in to help, and have on occasion. I'm shocked bystanders let those tools do that crap.

well it happened so fast and was in the most crowded spot - near the NE entrance where they open the big overhead door (if every one would just go out that way it would be a lot easier) and to get from the WC section to that exit is a PITA. I feel like a spawning salmon ffs
Did Gimp break out the "you gotta wipe my ass" routine on you?
If I'm treating him to a game it's the least he can do!
one of the biggest perks of being in a wheelchair is getting away with pooping your pants, it would be a shame not to take full advantage of all the perks.
