Stay Classy, Los Angeles
This video was posted by a disturbed San Diego fan after seeing some not-so-classy behavior in Chavez Ravine. Not that rowdy fans are anything new, but something about the tone of LA fans should be improved.
We all expect Dodger Stadium to start clearing out in the seventh inning, except for those fans who sauntered in around the fourth and still haven't finished their Dodger Dog. As if the local reputation for bandwagon fans wasn't enough, what sort of baseballs does it take for locals to carry themselves like a bitter hockey fan?
Giants fan always chant "Beat LA" when a game goes down between two of the greatest rivals in the history of sports. They print it on shirts, hats, and souvenir cups. But Dodger Stadium echoes back "Giants Suck" in a cheer far less reverent of a rivalry that literally chased itself across the country. Try putting that on some overpriced kids t-shirts.
LAist was at the Freeway Series between the Boys in Blue and the Angels and saw Southern California fans in their full glory. During a fight one fan was knocked down eight flights of stairs. Now, we're starting to wonder if it's contagious.
Could it get any worse? Maybe, if Beckham brings the soccer hooligans.
Kudos to Jeff Gilmore for finding the video above.
