After Nys got his apology, a group of guys pounced on the kid. Well, I was hoping the fans were going to have a blanket party for Mr. World Champion Idiot.

It is also becoming the worst thing about it. A sport that you don't need to buy an overpriced ticket for, know a corporate sponsor to get the good access but instead can bring your family and enjoy the beauty and excitement of the sport for free is a rare privilege. If these eejits that we saw today continue to disrespect this, the sport will be ruined. If security needs to be extended to fend off these morons someone has to pay for it. And the easy way to do that would be for the organizers to seek additional ways to monetize the experience. I hope it never comes to that. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
