Although it was just one dumb fan, the backlash from this going public should be nothing short of entertaining.

From ESPN: An 8-year-old New York Jets fan was tackled by an adult Browns fan after Sunday's game, according to the ABC television station in Cleveland.

The boy went to the game in a Jets jersey with his father, who was born in New York. Much to the chagrin of the local crowd, the Jets rallied for a 26-20 overtime victory. The boy's mother, identified as Danielle by the television station because she didn't want to reveal her last name, said the fans in the stadium were great, but that things got out of control after the game.

hahahahaha

for once its not in Philly, or involving Philly fans.

True story:

I went with a few buddies to a Ranger-Flyer playoff game in Philly a bunch of years ago. We were walking out after the Rangers big win and 3 loud Flyer fans walked by and as they passed my buddy felt something on the back of his neck. After a few seconds it started to burn really badly. We went to the arena "hospital" where they treated him and told us that someone sprayed acid on his neck.

While we are there a guy walks in with his 12 year old son and the kid has a nasty cut on the side of his head. Apparently the Dad was wearing a Ranger jersey and talking shit and a Flyer fan decided it would be a great idea to hurl his empty beer bottle at the guy. His aim was bad and he hit the kid in the head.

Why would the Dad be talking shit to a bunch of flyers fans, in Philly, wearing Rangers gear, during a playoff game, with his 12 y/o kid??

Not arguing against the actions of my fellow flyers fans, but have some sense. What do you think is gonna happen when you mix alcohol, NY-Philly rivalries and unecessary shit talking? Just go, keep your mouth shut and enjoy the game.

I won't even go into the Mets vs Phillies games I went to in the 1980's... fucking Mets fans are assholes.

Since 2007 when I moved to NYC, I've been wearing phils gear out to Shea/Citi. The stadium is usually half full and is filled with Phils fans. Nothing scary about Mets fans these days.

I find it hard to believe that this guy wasn't immediately arrested. CBS has a million cops and security wandering around. You get tossed for cheering too loud. Throw anything at all, tossed. Stand the whole game and people behind you complain? tossed. Easily the most strict pro sports venue I've even watched a game at.

If this happened the guy tackling the kid should have been arrested and if it had been my kid I would have beat the hell out of the guy. If I had seen this go down I would have at least held the guy and/or gotten security. That being said, I will never, EVER take a child to a pro football game until they are in high school. I've only been to a few stadiums (Browns, Bengals, Steelers, Bears, Falcons) but ran into a handful of total D-bags at all of them. It's just not a kid friendly envioronment. I love talking football with people who are fans of the opposition and engage in GOOD NATURED smack talk but some people just can't let go of HS football and mistakenly think that you and them are a part of the game. It's just retarded. People take sports way too seriously and do and say shit that they never would in real life. People celebrating when someone gets hurt. People celabrating that Cleveland lost LeBron, hoping people would kill themselves, saying they don't deserve a good team, etc.... Don't get me wrong, we have idiots too. I have friends that are big Steelers fans and have ran into plenty of jackasses at browns games.

In the end though. the vast majority of people I've met at opposing teams stadiums have been cool as hell and they heavily outweigh the d-bags. Despite being a Browns fan I've met some of the coolest people at Heinz field and I've become good friends with many of them and routinely keep in touch.

That being said I will NEVER go to a game in Philly lol.

It's honestly not that bad anymore. Seats are so damn expensive that the people who used to make the 700level and the Vet unbearable can't afford to get into the game. Of course there are tons of dickheads still, but I remember the games at the Vet being wayyyyyyyyyyy worse than the Linc.

Now the parking lots and the tailgating, thats another story.....

pretty sure this is the guy who laid the kid out

I haven't been this disappointed to open a thread based on the title and not see a video since dolphin13's "I think little dolphin13 is on his way out" thread...

Pretty sure they found out the kid actually had a #6 Heat jersey on. Poor Cleveland...

Ohio, making the south look better and better.

A grown man tackling an 8 year old from behind, can have serious consequences. As a parent, by the time the police got there they might have been restraining 2 adults. This is just ridiculous.

Chill the fuck out Dude. It's part of any parent's job to care for their kid when they get a beat down from an adult. Don't act surprised or appalled!!

Your authoritarian nature really tilts the shit out of me.

LOL!!! Typical Cleveland fans imo.

/sarcasm.

Meh, my gf and i went to flyers game with s1nnr and leftyc and the flyers fans didnt do or say anything about my Ovechkin jersey.

Wouldn't suprise me. Sports parents are worse than the worst psycho sports fan. Played youth soccer and one of the parents beat the shit out of one of the refs. I was in 5th grade. Also coached pee wee football two years ago (never again) and some of the stuff the parents and grandparents would do and say buggled the mind.
