Should bigots in sporting crowds be fined and banned?

Sad.

Where is the bigotry?

[newnative]

Yes.  

[AgMech Cowboy]

No...  It seems like a good idea, but it's just cancelling free speech. I don't like bad speech whether it be disparaging toward sex (one way or another), sexual identity, race or any other .....   Wait a minute, if you're playing rugby and the other team is made up of a bunch of w__ankers and _u__ys, is it bigotry to just call them like they are... ????????

[digbeth]

Ok, let's rephrase, should players suffer verbal abuse in the stadium? 

 

Should shop staff? It's the same as the football players at their workplace?

Depends as to how you are defining Bigot

Unfortunately, free speech is a dying freedom that we once took for granted. It's guaranteed under the U.S. constitution and I am sure under many other countries constitutions. The problem is that many people are willing to give up their free speech in the name of sensibilities and other woke generalities. I would not attend a sporting event if I had to give up my free speech rights, what fun is that?

Is this post from a degenerate who impregnated his own sister, set fire to a whites-only orphanage, gave oral relief to various barnyard animals, and robbed a blind beggar?  Hey, I'm just asking.   A flag-waving patriot like yourself will respect my right to free speech, of course.

Except for roller derby, where anything goes!

 

Calling out racial/cultural epitaphs is going to provoke confrontation, no way to condone that.

No Brit bashing here; only English bashing.

Or does entry price allow free speech?

Free speech is a human right - although we may soon be paying in blood for that agency. Your question is dubious and woke.

It's a matter of behavior. Like the Mexican chants.

 

Speaking of sporting crowds, I'll never forget when my Dad took me to "bat day" at a baseball game. Free bats for all. Meaning the huge crowd was banging the bats on the floor the entire game. Fun for me. A deep trauma for my Dad. 

Did I ever tell you about MY childhood trauma?

 

My Dad FORCED me to play baseball when I was a child.

He wanted me to be a great Little League pitcher!

He bought me about 100 baseballs, and I would be out there all day,

Throwing these balls as hard as I could, into a target.

But that was the FUN part.

 

On Saturdays, I would be forced to attend both practice and games.

I would need to throw the balls as hard as I could.

And sometimes, I would hit the batters, who were just little kids.

And they would cry.

This is what I hated most about baseball.

 

But what I REALLY  hated most was the ice cream after the games on Saturdays.

So, if you were to ask me my thoughts on Pro Sports, I would say that

Due to my experience with Little League, I hate Pro Sports.

It reminds me of both pain and milling around on a hot day,

Eating dripping ice cream.

 

All sports are disgusting to me, except crew and sailing, and women's volleyball.

I never watch American Soccer, or Football, or Rugby. American Football is the worst.

All those guys in the center, with huge shoulder pads, bending over,

Just to pass a blown-up piece of leather between their legs.

It's disgusting to me.

 

I hate my father due to all of the above.

Maybe you would have felt differently if you got quality gelato. 

I like to watch men's gymnastics and diving. Plus the World Cup. 

Your father sounds more typical than mine was. My Dad didn't follow sports at all. If someone said how about those whatevers, he would reply referencing a different sport. That shut them up.

You and I must have gotten mixed up at the hospital.

Your father must be my father.

I am totally and utterly indifferent to news of sporting events of all kinds.

I truly do dislike Pro Sports.

And, as I say, rowing and sailing are the only two I like.

But I very rarely watch competitions on TV.

And, after the Little League Thing, I hate baseball with a passion.

And, for this reason, I still don't think much about The Old Man, for sure!

What I HATE about spectator sports is that I dislike joining groups.

And, I even more dislike joining stupid groups concerned with ritualized aggression.

In rowing, there are no spectators until the end of the race.

Also, if one is the stroke, then you only gotta look at the coxswain, between the legs, mostly.

And, there is no aggression involved.

Sailing is also not a spectator sport.

And, with sailing in the lower 50s, even though you can't see the boats,

It's still exciting because you can imagine the wind and the waves and the storms.

And, sometimes you have a capsize.

And then, the sailor drowns.

It's life or death.

It's  a REAL battle.

Nobody to fly to your rescue.

The roaring 40's is never the boring 40's.

And, there is no rescue in the Screaming 60s, nor the Furious 50s, for that matter.

Mountain climbing on Everest is like Central Park compared to sailing in the Southern Ocean.

Sailing is NOT boring to me.

 

Get RID of Pro Sports, and the World would be a Better place..

Definitely.
