Being Inappropriately Obnoxious While Watching Sports

It's not different from somebody yelling into their cell phone in a restaurant. Or loudly swearing. Or talking during a movie.

Wow, guy.

however the point is, he didn't put himself in any of these positions did he?

he was sitting in a licensed establishment watching a sporting event and probably having a beverage and enjoying himself. If he did this in a theater or restaurant I agree with you. in a lounge, 100% disagree with you.

instead of complaining on a message board about what a jerk this guy is you should maybe reflect on what makes you so special that you feel everyone else should conform to how you feel they should behave.


My point stands, you were in a licensed establishment, you had the choice to go somewhere else

Teatro is licensed. The Ranche is licensed. Lachaumiere is licensed. Would it be appropriate to be the only person hooting and hollering in one of those places?

And with lounges - how many have you been to? There are different vibes depending on the place. Take the upstairs of Halo, for example. It's a lounge, but it's super chill and quiet. It would be very disruptive to be carrying on like a neanderthal in that place.

I'm not the one that feels special. I'm conforming to the vibe and atmosphere of the place. If you can't understand why it's inappropriate and unexpected behaviour, then you're the one that could do with a little introspection.

I gotta go with Sliver on this. If you are the only one in a lounge, full of people, hooting and hollering at a stupid game on tv.... you're an idiot.

If you want to do that, go find another lounge... like a sports lounge, where that type of behaviour is the norm.

That's my favorite part with NFL "fans"... I love asking them why the team they cheer for is their favorite.

"Last year I won a sport select ticket when the Lions kicked a late field goal. So I bought Sunday ticket and spent hours memorizing their roster to sound legit to my friends".

"My mom got me these sweet NY Giants socks for Christmas when I was in my 2nd year of uni.... errr I mean sophomore year of College. Fan 4 Life!"

And then you have people that went to US colleges:

"Hey guys, look, the Duke highlights are on ESPN 8: The Ocho. I can't bear to watch because I'm such a good fan. I've told you before I went to Duke right? Because I went to Duke"

No MMF, Rider fans don't count. We're talking about people, not barnyard animals.
