Cleveland fans getting harassed and abused

[The_Hater]

Trump has taught some people that if they're not on your side, it's ok to attack them verbally and physically.

Trump has taught people that? Have you seen a single Liberal nutjob video? Seriously? I'm literally mind blown that you'd make that statement, because it is devoid of any link to reality. "If they're not on your side, its ok to attack them verbally and physically" ... you literally just described the exact situation that popped off with that poor U of T professor that made headlines just a ~week ago.

I'm not kidding either. He's set the anti-bullying and tolerance movements back decades.

"Anti-bullying" is ruining this society. The ironic part being that the biggest bullies on the planet are now professional victims and freakshows who should have gotten their asses beat years ago, but are now empowered to harass and silence the non mentally-ill majority of society under the pretense of "social justice". Thanks to anti-bullying, you now live in a society wherein online comments are treated on the same scale as physical assault. Congratulations. Bullying teaches you to solve problems and handle adversity, a trait lost by your new generation of "safe space" warriors who are completely incapable of adapting to the real world or handling any form of opinion that differs from their own.

Feel better now?

Please don't tell me you're from my hometown of London ON. That would be embarrassing.

When I was raised here in Canada, I was hit with a slipper, belt or anything that can leave a mark when I was a child anytime I did something wrong. Never once did I get in trouble at school, at work or with the law because of my upbringing. I know there are laws against this however it did work for my upraising.

One story doesn't tell the whole picture. Studies have shown that physical discipline does more damage that it's does good. It,

a) Instills a level of depression into later life
b) Teaches a child that it's right to use violence against someone of lesser power than them. Bullys have a much much higher rate of being beaten at home.
c) Does little to instill empathy and morality, which is really what you're trying to get into a child's brain. Don't do something wrong because it's wrong, not because you're scared you're going to get the **** beaten out of you.

It's the same with dogs. You can teach a dog by yelling at it, hitting it etc. Or you can teach a dog with treats and praise. Treats and praise have much better results.

More bad fans

Was Martin at bat, because I can't really blame him for that.

I'm not claiming that bullying is GREAT, but it plays a role in society just like beating your kids from time to time when they deserve it.

Cucks such as yourself are the reason why Western civilization is well on its way to being bulldozed.

hahaha. As if this guy didn't come off as enough of an idiot before. I agree with a lot of what you said, but being pro-assault and just the fact that you used the word cuck non-ironically kind of rules you out as a competent adult.

Are you triggered?

Have you seen a single North American college campus in 2016? "I don't like your opinion, so I'm going to take it as a direct attack on my physical and emotional well being" ... these are the hapless morons who are spawned out of your anti-bullying safe space. Ironically, in 2016 the most rude, obnoxious, and vile people in America/Canada are exactly these people who you've "protected" from criticism and ridicule. Don't be facetious, I'm not claiming that bullying is GREAT, but it plays a role in society just like beating your kids from time to time when they deserve it.

Cucks such as yourself are the reason why Western civilization is well on its way to being bulldozed.

Lol. Seems like some people can't handle criticism of their bull. "I should be able to say whatever I want wherever I want and you can't call me an **** when I do! Waaaahhhhhhhh." Maybe go back to your red pill safe space. Western civilization is being bulldozed, huh? Sure thing champ.

"Cucks". Ahahaha. Someone get the net.

"Cuck" seems to be the go-to insult for right-wingers. I never hear anyone else say it. TBH, I never even knew what the word meant until this year.

There's no way someone constantly uses one word as an insult and isn't projecting some what.

Cry me a river outside of the beer incident and the guy telling him the "F off" (if those 2 incidents really happened) what do you expect? This is playoff baseball. People are passionate about their team. As a non drinker like it or not people show up to these games tipsy and get drunk at the game. People under the influence passing fans decked out in the other team's gear in their stadium when the home team just went down 0-3 is bound to get some stupid responses from fans.

Yesterday at the game 1 drunk Jays fan wanted to fight another Jays fan because he walked to close to him. Alcohol doesnt bring out the best in people.

When i went to Boston (3rd last game of the regular season); 6 fans behind us wanted to fight me and my brothers because we cheered Bautista's homer. They were saying "we have 3 WS since 93", "chanting USA" and "the best part of the season was Odor knocking out Bautista" to initiate a fight. I dont hate Boston fans or those 6 guys, i expected to be given a hard time when i wear my Jays gear at a rivals stadium. And that was a regular season game.

I am not condoning this behavior from Jays fans or any fans. But come into a hostile environment wearing the opponents colors - dont expect to be treated with open arms. Its not right but its reality.

C'mon, these Cleveland "fans" were so scared that they were thinking about staying for game 4 but after what happened to them they were too scared so they went home. Too scared to stay for game 4 but not scared enough to stay back and find a reporter to drag a few Jays fans in the dirt after these allege incidents.

Well.. When I went to Cleveland for the ECF, I was getting harassed on the streets by stupid Cavs fans telling me to go home and take off my jersey. Also, some dumb woman was talking crap to me in the arena when we were down by a lot. So Meh, good for them. Taste of their own medicine. This is just stupid Americans trying to paint the picture that we are as worse as them. It's not even close. Let's be real.

[smallgains]

Cleveland is a wonderful city filled with peace loving wonderful people...

[Wo1verine]

This is normal everywhere. If someone is a loud mouth or throws garbage at you, smash his face in.

I can promise you he'll never do anything foolish like that at a game again.

[Raptors_Dynasty]

Lmao when I was in Indianapolis for game 6 against the Pacers me and my friends had a few back and forths with the fans there as well, but to be fair we were dicks too lol. These Jays fans took it to a new level though smh.

Sidenote: but why the hell would they come to Toronto to watch a game? Im sure the tickets here are a lot more expensive than in Cleveland. Even with the exchange.

They were cheaper

[King of Canada]

Those are the same people that get in fights walking down the street after coming out of a bar. Not fans of anything but assaulting people.

[IMAN5]

lol I'm sorry but what did they expect? You're wearing jerseys of our opponent and "enemy" during a playoff series and you expected people to be civil? Personally I'm not gonna be a douche because I know better but am I surprised people singled them out? absolutely not. this could happen in ANY sports arena for ANY sport. when you travel to enemy territory to support your team you know the risk you're taking. I've been to many different sporting events and seen fans of other teams, It drives me nuts and I hate them for the moment because of my passion for the sport (I wouldn't do anything though because again I'm not a douche). Quit crying about the boos, any Jays fans would get the same crap in Cleveland. Sure the dude who flipped a beer at the guy was extra but again that's the risk you have to accept and take if you really want to support your team.

If any Jays fans went to Boston or New York they'd get the same disrespect, probably worse. I visited New York one time for a Knicks game and saw how **** the fanbase is there. I was trying to get out of my row to use the washroom during a timeout (I was wearing a Knicks shirt too) and some drunk douchebag bro was shouting and threatening to start a fight just because I needed to exit our row. There are crazy douchey fans everywhere, Toronto gets targeted a lot and a small handful of bad fans somehow take over our whole reputation of a fan base.

100% spot on.

[sharmaraps]

Well damn. I figured the Indians tickets were cheaper.

Thats why Jays fans travel so well, cause the tickets are always cheaper
