I think he's riled up because as usual the Rider fans has taken this and made a bigger deal about it than normal, and is using it as a way to attack another fan base rather than look at the state of their own currently terrible franchise (on the field and in the front office).
Another soapbox for Rider fans, when there is some serious holes in the story being told.
Did the kid have some beer spilled on him by some drunken idiots - Probably so.
Did drunken idiots probably taunt this kid for wearing green in Winnipeg - Probably so.
Did this kid and his family get terrorized around the whole stadium by multiple fans and groups of people - I have my doubts.
I think at the end of the day here, in my opinion someone had a bad experience and took to facebook to vent about it. Media and social medfia people picked up on and it and it got embellished a bit from there.
Riders fans have picked up on this and used it as perfect example to throw #### on Winnipeg fans because that's the only thing they have this year to say to them which is probably while Ressurection and other Bomber fans are riled.
