    I've been going to the games now with the Barra for about 4 years now. And it seems every time I stand anywhere in the barra section there's a dude with a stupid Top Hat and sunglasses on blocking my view of the pitch!

    This has started to irritate me because:

    1.) Usually I don't mind Top Hats, in fact I am wearing one right now. But to wear a Top Hat the entire match is just plain tacky and silly.

    2.) He NEVER takes it OFF. It continues throughout the game. Every time a chant starts, every time we score a goal, every time a beer man comes by, the Top Hat is still at the epicenter of viewing spectrum.

    3.) It throws off the songs/chants of the Barra. If the Barra are in a song, it doesn't seem to matter and this guy will continue to flaunt his Top Hat more than a "crunk" cup in a Lil' Jon music video!

    I also think that the unwarranted persistent Top Hat wearing can actually hurt the team--we all know the refs don't generally like Top Hats.

    But let me tell you--at the next match I will be the first one to start chanting "F-ck Top Hat" if I cannot see the pitch. Anybody agree or have any comments?

    Exhibit A (WHERE IS THE F*CKING PITCH????):

    I hate that that douchbag in the top hat wears a jersey with Token on the back. I mean does he seriously think he's the only Barra member who just happens to be black.

    Yeah, and can we seriously talk about 'personalized' jerseys that identify the wearer of said jersey rather than a player on the team. I mean how freaking lame is that - someone feels the need to advertise WHO they are on the back of their shirt. Like anyone gives a shit? God, I hate people like that. Especially folks who don't even put their name on there - but go for nicknames instead.

    However, I have to disagree with the original premise of this thread. I think that the top hat actually adds to the experience and I for one advocate MORE top hats in the Barra section.

    I've seen Superman in the Barra at some games. Maybe we can show him this guy's picture and get him to kick his ass!

    Let's put a rabbit or two in the hat. Nothing like a head full of rabbit turds to teach somebody a lesson!

    That's me, on the left, wearing that hat at a Halloween party way back in the day (early 90s). My "costume" was as a computer nerd. Which is kind of ironic since that's what I am.
