It's quiet convenient of you to leave out the post I was responding to, so the reader is left to guess what context it was used in...
As quoted posts don't include previous quotes, it was automatic rather than convenient. Nevertheless, here it is:

I'm still adamant that "getting your jimmies rustled" doesn't equate to being subjected to racist/sexist abuse.

I like the heckle, not that we would do that in Calgary, but in playoff series, maybe.......That being said, I don't think its really effective, most pros are immune to that kind of thing.
I think the effective heckle is more along the lines of the fans (or fan) who yelled "I got it" in Kansas City that messed up Goins and Bautista. Its got to be subtle and well targeted.

We went to a football game in Brazil, and were asked when we bought the tickets which team we were supporting. I said, "I dunno, home team, I guess" since we were just going for the spectacle/experience.
And it was a spectacle. The home fans were all in one section, yelling, singing, passing banners, etc. Then there was a giant fence, and two empty sections of seats with nobody in them except armed guards, and then another giant fence, and then the section of the stadium where the visiting teams fans were.
I would suggest Philly has nothing on that. The concierge at the hotel and the cab driver both strongly suggested we leave early, so we did. Although the thoroughness of the pat down on the way in suggests to me you'd have to be very, very motivated to get a weapon into the stadium.
I went to a soccer game in Quito Ecuador at a stadium named after the Inca King Atahualpa.
The fans of the visiting team were separated from the home fans by barb wire fences. That did not stop them from throwing garbage and rotten produce at each other. The field was far from the stands so projectiles could not reach the pitch. The refs came out of covered tunnels, far from the fans.
The game was between Nacional (Quito) and Barcelona. I was excited to think I'd being seeing the famous Barcelona side from Spain in a friendly. Turns out, Barcelona was just the name of Quito's rival team from Guayaquil.
No they don't the Canucks still do. I'll bet you when the Hawks play the Canucks, Canuck fans will chant the same thing and will go as far as throwing condoms on the ice.
