Mr. Caruso, I agree. Picking fights with girls is beyond abhorrent. However, the most recent violence towards women was demonstrated at RFK on Wednesday when the RBNY female fanbase had M-80s thrown in their direction. I know that I were to be forced to choose between having fireworks or newspapers, I would choose the one that is used to pack the other. Neither is acceptable in my book. Amazed at DC's ignorance, P
Using multisyllabic words will not improve your logic, sir. A history of violence in a stadium shows more propensity for violence, not less, thus your dismissal of incidents in Giants Stadium prior to 2006 is shown self-serving. What was your grade in 9th grade geometry? Q.E.D., gocaps
This actually just makes me want to join in on the violence advocation. I have a spot on the 5th level waiting for me, so I see no harm really.
I would say throwing lit explosives at a group containing teenage girls is the lowest you could get. I would also say you are a little troll who has yet to contribute anything to this discussion. You were also the same person doubting this happened. I have a very strong feeling you do not attend these games on a regular basis. Until you have some clue as to what happened, I suggest shutting your trap.
The only thing I doubted was that it came from the SUPPORTERS groups which seemed far fetched to me. As it turned out it was far fetched, the perp wasn't a member of BB, LN or SE and the original poster looked a fool for making that accusation.
Ms. Riz, Dates. It is truly simple. Dates. Mr. Caps, Either violence persists or it doesn't. If efforts are made to stamp it out, then it should be proven as such. As you see through the actions at Giants Stadium, the ESC as well as the RBNY/MetroStars Front Office took action and has nearly eliminated the undesirables. As such, this year's and last's violence statistics are relevant. What occurred 3 or 4-years ago is not comparable with what occurred on Wednesday, unless you could demonstrate that what occurred three years ago persists to this day. It may seem self-serving, but that is only because it demonstrates that the DC United supporters clubs refuse to address the violent actions that occur. So disappointed, P
You know, heading all the way up to PA just to buy M-80s to toss at these idiots on September 23rd seems a bit foolish. So what do you guys think, 16 penny nails inside the pipe bombs? Or should I go smaller? Edit - whoops, wrong thread again.
Mr. Caruso, By your logic, the female that was supposedly confused for a waste receptacle was not attacked by a member of ESC. And as such, the whole premise is very far fetched in that you attempt to defend violence against teenage girls through similar tactics as Pontius Pilate. A Psalm can be provided, P
My father was an ordained minister, I am an ordained minister, you're an ordained minister, Ben Olsen is an ordained minister. I would never advocate violence - as a fellow child of God, I wanted to ensure your safety on your next visit since it has vexed you so. I am passionate about my sports, but never has it veered into violence, and I hope that it never will. However, my vitriol towards NY teams will not change. You really shouldn't sign off with one of the Seven Deadly Sins, 76
Mr. 76, It depends on what you feel is "deadly." But this thread has undeniably demonstrated that DC United fans will continue to act like petulent children when it is demonstrated that there is a problem on their end. When you and the rest of the fans own up to the actions of the minority is when it can start to be addressed. Until then, you are merely passive endorses. Mr. Caruso, You apparently have never seen the film. Consistently no action from DC, P
Poor thing. Did you post on YouTube an overly-dramatic pseudo-documentary in order to make yourself feel better?
It's not even a minority, it's a marginalized group. You continue to lump it all together and get it wrong. I didn't define the seven deadly sins, the church did. The thread has proven that New Yorkers, and pretend NYers from Norf Jersey, like to act like they are high and mighty or victims, which stands to reason from the religious and cultural influences. I do not tacitly approve of violence, but I am going to watch a soccer match not police you into, during, and out of the stadium. As long as you are grouping stuff together - I guess all blacks commit crimes, all priests touch boys and all Irish a drunkards. Congrats on your Christlike piety, 76
