Wow only took 6 posts to make a Riders fan comparison, I expected at least page 2... but no Calgary fans are all class.
Took my Uncle to a Flames vs. Rangers game a few years ago at the Dome, hes older, a little special. He was called on by two different groups of young Calgary fans, had a beer dumped on his jersey during the game and was the recipient of a lot of beaks containing swear words through out the game. I can handle good ole fashioned ribbing, but I can't take that kind of abuse.
I have had bad experiences with Canuck fans as well, but please don't pretend like our crap doesn't stink. I have seen examples of Flame fan behavior that will stand up to any Canuck fan abuse. The truth of it is, some fans will be the way they are regardless of which team they cheer for. You will always hear the loud ones, the obnoxious ones, but just because you don't notice the quiet respectful ones it doesn't mean they aren't there. Comon guys don't stereotype.
