I’m all for razzing another fan who wears the opposing team’s colors when they attend a sporting event. If you’re going to wear Red Sox gear in the Bronx, you’re going to have to listen to how your mother is a hooker, and vice versa if you head to Beantown wearing Skankee stuff.
But just because somebody wears your rivals’ colors, doesn’t give you the right to give them the beating of a lifetime in the parking lot following the game like these asshole Dodger fans did last night to a couple of Giant patrons.
From the L.A. Times:
Los Angeles police were searching Friday for two Dodgers fans responsible for assaulting and critically injuring a man wearing San Francisco Giants apparel following Thursday’s game.
“The man suffered a serious head injury during the assault after the game,” said Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Sanford Rosenberg, watch commander at the Northeast Station.
Rosenberg said the victim was one of three Giants fans attacked in the parking lot around the end of the game by two unidentified men wearing Dodgers clothing.
The unprovoked attack occurred about 8:30 p.m. in Parking Lot 2 when two men in Dodgers clothing approached three victims in Giants apparel, police said.
The men then attacked the trio, kicking and punching them and shouting expletives about the Giants as they delivered the blows, Rosenberg said. The attack left one victim hospitalized in critical but stable condition, Rosenberg said.
Here’s hoping these two Dodger fans are hit by a semi-truck going just fast enough to break every bone in their bodies and drag them for two miles down a stretch of highway, but not fast enough to actually kill them. Then, when they’re laid up in the hospital for the next few months (subsequently going poor from all the medial expenses they’ve endured), they get to watch the Giants repeat as World Series champs. Oh, and they each get massive bed sores.
Yeah, I just wrote that. I actually cleaned it up a great deal, too.
My thoughts go out to the gentleman in critical condition. I hope he makes a full recovery and can take solace in the fact that 1) the Giants are defending World Series champions and 2) those men that beat him probably can’t even read.
