B. Answer this question honestly: Were there any Charger fans at Qualcomm Sunday who may have been drunk and/or obnoxious towards the Pats fans?
I'm guessing just as high a percentage of the SD fans were acting in this type of manner as Pats fans, but because you're a Charger fan you leave that part of the equation out. Obviously the Pats fans would make comments to you and the other Charger fans, which seems to upset you...but are you saying the Charger fans just took it and didn't respond in kind? C'mon now.
Absolutely everything that happened to me was entirely unprovoked. I was standing in line for the ladies room, saying absolutely nothing and a Pats woman fan said to me and all the other women in the line "wow, its all Chargers fans, what a bunch of C*NT BITCHES, etc etc. " Real charming. All of us in line were so shocked, as she kept going, we just laughed at her in shock and how completely classless she was. She kept going, and screaming, and then other Pats women who came in joined in with her, screaming punk bitches, along with other really crude stuff. I was honestly SHOCKED, and it takes a lot to shock me, because I work with criminals for a living. Believe me, I have seen it all, but this one was right up there in the shock factor for just pure, unprovoked rudeness. I mean, who uses the word C*nt to refer to people you don't even know and who said nothing to you? I was just crazy behaivor.
As to the Pats men fans who tried to punch a woman, I do not even believe the woman was a Chargers fan, she didn't have a jersey on or anything, apparently the Pats men said some really crude stuff to her that she didn't appreciate (she was blonde and pretty, so I am assuming they were making unwelcome comments towards her), so she let them know where they could put their comments. Apparently, they were none to happy with this, and decided to attack her. Luckily security stopped them before they had a chance to hit her.
I didn't personally encounter obnoxious drunk Chargers fans, but of course they were there. Some of the other Pats fans that were around me (I was on the visitors side, so there were a lot) were just drunk and obnoxious, but that is to be expected at a NFl game, and that's not was I was referring to prior, I was referring to these two separate incidents that happened. So yes, to answer your question, the two incidents that I observed were not provoked in any way. Happy now? Why don't you just let it rest - all I was doing was relating what happened to me, and MY experience with the Pats fans. I was careful to state that I recognize not all Pats fans are like this, but the ones I encountered were. It was just a general weird, tense vibe, not at all what I am used to when going to a Chargers game. Its hard to describe, but I just felt like the Pats fans around us would like to spit on us if they could - that was the kind of vibe I was getting, and I have never felt this at any sporting event before. Even with big rivalries, like with the Raiders, it is all kept in the spirit of competition, but this game did not have that vibe at all, I mean, I still had a good time because it was a great game, but after the incident in the bathroom, and watching a man try to punch a woman, the tone was just bizarre. The guy sitting next to us was a Pats fan who lives in San Diego, and he said he was so embarassed that these people were fans of his team, because they were a disgrace. So, it wasn't just Chargers fans who got the weird vibe from the Pats fans.
I honestly had no idea Pats fans had any kind of reputation at all until I posted my experience on this board. I still don't know if they do or don't have a reputation, but, I must say, if they do,based upon my personal observations, I can see where it comes from.
