Beer, Sports, Testosterone, More Beer. Recipe that almost always results in disaster. If anyone reading this has been to a live sporting event in the last 1-20 years knows all it takes is one spark and all mayhem can be on the verge of running rampant.
We’ve all been in the section with one fan that has the sole goal of riling up the remainder of the audience. Let’s just call that the wick. Before you know it, there may be a fan or group of fans that have had just as much to drink as the original stirrer of the pot. The firework. Lastly, all you need is a simple difference of opinion. The fire. And all hell is on the verge of breaking loose.
Without knowing the details of what took place on Saturday night or what led to one of the bigger brawls we’ve witnessed at a professional baseball game last Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field (could’ve been an argument about the absurdity of the stadium name), we’ll be left to draw our own conclusions.
We can only hope and assume that everyone’s okay as it looks like the alcohol fueled melee was void of anyone that actually knew what they were doing. Attempting to fight in a crowded place from different rows of seating will forever be the sloppiest of art forms.
We’ll let you judge the fight for yourself on the next page.
