sweep the leg Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Why go straight to the media with this story? It always annoys me when people do that. Why not give the team a chance to make it right before you opt for the public shaming? Jimmy Pop, GCJenks, Rod Black and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just the numbers. You bet. This is not a unique incident of a Winnipeg, or the Blue Bombers. Likely every event with large groups of people and liquor is susceptible to a confrontational act. In fact assaults are possibly common enough at any event with booze. Wonder if those assaulting the kid are hockey dads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 well someone ought to be ashamed of doing that to a 9 year old. I think its just the rider rivalry. people get fired up (more so vs the riders and with liquor) and can get carried away, I know I have lol. But I've gone to games vs the ticats with my boy wearing a ticat jacket and people haven't been disrespectful, tho I'd probably crack em in the face if they were talking **** to my kid. but thats just me Blueballz and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 That's ******* disgraceful. Throwing beer at anyone is unacceptable. That's why I bring a bunch of dead batteries with me. MOBomberFan and Blueballz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 So the CBC article actually gives some more detail than CTV (or OP) bothered to provide. I thought maybe (hoped) it was more isolated with knuckleheads in the seats. Seems like it was several different people / groups of people all throughout the stadium. Even worse and surely not a good look for us fans. "Then he started saying like super mean things about me being large and he said 'why don't you go on the weight training, go train with the Riders and maybe they'll play better next time!' "And then my son yells back, 'We live here!' and I was so proud of him for screaming that," Emond said. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/manitoba/banjo-bowl-fan-beer-son-1.3758916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judd Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) People can be such jerks. What benefit is there for actions such as this? And not to deflect from this incident, but I had my car windows smashed in Regina for the football game for no particular reason. I didn't even have anything in my car. No bodily harm or anything but a total "you've got to be kidding me" moment. Edited September 13, 2016 by Judd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBird Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Did you ever get the feeling the dots did not quite connect? However, it is what it is.

WBBFanWest Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 The saddest part of this whole thing is that while those idiots were abusing a little boy, it would appear that no one stepped up (except Rider fans) to defend him and his mom. “All that is necessary for the triumph of evilis that good men do nothing.” - Edmund Burke comedygeek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon37 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I heard about this and I hope the culprit is found and is banned permanently from ever attending another game. I don't care if it is a 9 year old kid or a middle aged fan from Saskatchewan nobody deserves to be treated like that. It s disgraceful an I am ashamed it happened in our park. comedygeek, Goalie, Bigblue204 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Negatron Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Drunken Bomber fans can be assholes, no question about it. But something about this story doesn't add up. Going after a nine year old kid? Maybe one drunken moron would do it, but to have multiple people go after the kid? I just can't see it. Maybe I am giving people too much credit, I don't know. I certainly have witnessed some extreme jack hole behavior, but never against a kid.

Goalie Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 So what's the whole story. Thought it was dad and his son now it's mom and her son? Did they pour beer on him on purpose or was it accidental? It's unfortunate and I hope igf has security cameras or something and these people are caught banned and completely embarrassed. But what's the whole story? Everything I've read from ctv to cjob to cbc to sportsnet has a bit different variation to tge the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be shared across social media so they culprits are at least aware of how they affected this poor kid. People won't change until they are confronted with the guilt and knowledge that their action crushed someone. iso_55, Goalie and comedygeek 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I bet these people probably don't even remember doing it or they do and think it was funny and cool. I've been to afternoon Saturday games and taken the bus home and people are passed out on the bus at 5pm. They probably were either to drunk or to stupid to remember or care Edited September 13, 2016 by Goalie Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three separate incidents of abuse and no one stood up for them or witnessed it and security was nowhere to be found?
