Video of Ravens fan attacked by Steeler fans

[757RavensFan]

I don't know what was said, but this could have got real ugly for him considering he was in enemy territory.

that dude is lucky he didnt get stomped

Where was security? Wouldn't have happened at M&T.

It was the woman TRYING to control her old, hillbilly sugar daddy who elbowed him. Women who want to fight man should be allowed to be hit!

[rafahash]

What the hell was he doing?

What the hell was he doing?

Decided to wear a 52 jersey in Pittsburgh, which really is just asking for it.

It does happen in M&T.  I've seen one vs. a irate Cowboys fan @2012.   You get some beer, you get a hot game going.   Anything can happen.

I disagree 100%. It's all about how act, carry yourself and interact with other fans. If your loud and disrespectful and confrontational, things like this happens. 

 

I went to the 2012 SNF game in the Burgh in a Ray Lewis jersey, Ravens toque and sweatpants. I didn't have one bad encounter, just spirited debate. Its not the jersey, but the guy who is wearing it.

... and if the opposing fan gets way obnoxious, the odds go way up. 

 

I was at Heinz for the heartbreaker when T.J. caught the winning TD. I was sporting my Ed Reed jersey the whole game and only got some "you suck" comments ... no beer poured on me or any type of physical violations. 

 

However, after that game was over and it was time to file out of there with a hoard of pissed fans (meaning both angry and ... the Irish sense of the word - drunk), I decided it was time to zip up the old plain blue windbreaker. No need to chance it.

It happens, but would never get that far.  They(security) keep a close eye on things and intervene pretty quickly when there are issues.

[RavensRegime]

This is why football fans rather sit at home than sit in a stadium! And security is a joke! Some innocent people couldve been seriously injured! Ridiculous

[Moderator 3]

If you watch the video, you'll see that security did show up and "rescue" him.

I've always said I'd never go to a rival game in any Ravens gear.

My brother is a Falcons fan and we went to the Redskins-Falcons game in RGIII's rookie year and the fans were overly obnoxious toward us (my brother wore a Falcons jersey and I wore Ravens attire). We just went along and never said anything. We cheered,of course, but we never got rowdy or interacted with a Redskins fan. We were totally fine, but I'd imagine it doesn't always go that smoothly.

[Moderator 3]

Slurs fans are always obnoxious, that's one of the reasons I quit going to that dump of a stadium.

I've traveled to games all over the country, always wearing my Ravens gear. I've only ever been harassed at Slurs games. Then again, I don't get drunk and act like an idiot.

[hawkprey]

Good old football fans, always realizing that it's professionals playing a game that doesn't involve you and never letting that escalate to violence.

My brother and myself went to a Browns/Ravens game in Lewis jerseys and Ravens toques (Canadian for beanie) and we just got heckled by a few people.  Nothing crazy, we just laughed and people left us alone except when we walked past them or waiting in line.  No one really got in our face and just poured it on us.

Unfortunately, there's idiots in all fan bases.

[Guest]

I don't know....to me, its the common hillbilly Stoolers fan.  They are classless folks. That's why beaten those trashbags is always satisfying.

[Raven'evermore]

 I'm not so sure the raven fan had done anything wrong, but I'm pretty sure he didn't deserve getting hit with a beer can.

 

Alcohol sometimes makes idiots out of people, or maybe bigger idiots than they usually are.  I stated before in another post how a couple of twenty somethings tried to start a fight with my dad who was close to seventy.  Real brave huh?  I would love to see management stop the selling of alcohol but that will never happen.  

[FlackAttack]

this happens in every single nfl stadium except san diego and jacksonville

[Cillmatic]

Still don't know why the NFL allows for beer to be sold at FOOTBALL GAMES. Makes zero sense.

99% of the people that get in alcohol induced fights inside football stadiums drink for hours before they even enter the stadium

Maybe the league should utilize pre-entry compulsory breathalyzers or something. Edited October 4, 2015 by Cillmatic

[Greatness]

The fact that a grown man (or Woman at that) can get that riled up over a game is laughable to me. You're fighting people over something that you can't control or get paid for is absurd to me. But people are goofy, so I'm not surprised. Just won't see me out here looking like an idiot fighting over some grown man who makes 500k - 100 million dollars and don't effect my life in any shape or fashion. lol

[stampedehero]

It could happen anywhere anytime.   Next time a rare moron Steelers fan mocks us with the street life of Bal and calls you a Ravens, tell him how great the rivalry is and how it makes our teams a must watch that the entire country knows about..

    Dodger and Giant fans react as well and baseball is a "thinking mans" game.

Too much money to be made  especially at 10 plus dollars for a 16oz of run of the mill domestic brew and TV commerical endorsements.  .

Stop selling beer during NFL games would be the final dagger to a dying trend, attending NFL games.

M&T has a great attendance percentage, but they would never survive that change.

 

True though that alcohol does not help in controlling the attitudes of otherwise normal NFL 'fanatics'.

[gtalk12]

some people know how to ruin things. I love drinking beer during games, when the Ravens came down and played the Dolphins some fans started to get like this.

 

I don't understand why getting drunk beyond the point of self control is neccessary. Some old Dolphin fan was egging a mobb of young Raven fans into a fight.

and they'll raise ticket prices to pay for that.  

[FastEddie]

Should make the next game a lot more fun on our turf
