It seems you find it impossible to condemn the POS in the video without qualifying it with something negative about another group. It makes you seem less sincere.
The point is you can't stereotype a whole fanbase with the actions of a few dumbasses. If you can't see that, I've got nothing else for you.

No. I said judging a group by the actions of a few would be stupid and hateful. Read into it what you will.
You are correct. The first time.
All fan bases have idiots, but one would have to be blind to not see the anectdotal evidence not shining very fondly on the Crimson Tide.

The Bama fan acted like a jackass. If you come to NOLA and do that shite and get VIDEOTAPED, then it makes International news,you will get sought out and prosecuted. The city draws alot of tourist/convention dollars and this type of incident costs them. They can't just sweep it under the rug. I've been to T-Town for games and aside from some usual taunting I've always had a good time and been treated with respect. Every fanbase has idiots

My understanding is that scumbag Updyke is treated like royalty by other bama fans at the game. At least one poster on here has claimed that his tickets were paid for and sent to him by one or several bama boosters. How do you explain that.
It sure seems like Updyke is idolized by a lot of gumps.

I never have. If you took up some crusade against whoever you feel is doing this, good for you. The only posts I've seen from you is half-hearted condemnation of the alleged criminal, sprinkled with pointless hypotheticals and ridiculous analogies.

Maybe I should judge all citizens from LA by the crap I saw in NOLA 3 days after Katrina?
So even in this bad example, you think that it's a viable to equate the behavior of what is clearly the lowest socio economic class days after their homes were destroyed in nation's worst national disaster with upper middle class kids sexually assaulting, enabling and taunting a fan following a football game and the retired "grown arse man" who systematically plotted to destroy a national heritage site, again because of a football game?
Just the notion that you seem to imply the two can even be theoretically intertwined shows depth of this sickness.

Get the police who were right outside, unless you're a real badass who wants to wade into a bunch of drunks and start telling them what to do.
Arlo, I have spent many a nights on Bourbon street and in the quarter, in crowds where you can't see a cop in sight. I've also spent time around football games with drunken fools, and the one thing I've come to the conclusion with the police is they are to no fault of their own "clean up crews" who show up after the fact and are rarely if ever there to stop something in the act. It's similar to depending on the police to be there in a home invasion to stop someone from doing you harm rather than being armed and prepared. That's just the world we live in, and I as a grown man have got a responsibility to be a grown man.
God is my witness here. If I would have witnessed what was going on there, no matter what colors they were wearing, I would most surely have broken it up, even if it entailed beating the fricktard to stop him from sexually assaulting a drunk person.
Now truthfully, I realize that most of society today are cowards, refusing to get involved. However, that's not an excuse in my estimation, but rather a condition that really just turns my stomach.
Seriously, I'm not trying to come off as Billy Bad arse, or some heroic bullshite. Hell, I'm not that tough, but I do believe if we as a society were known to not tolerate shite like that and would more than likely step in and take care of the situation, that t-bagger would more than likely never have done that because he knew there was a cause and effect coming his way if he did. He didn't fear that though. That's why I am in favor of people standing up against that and taking charge. Society in general would be much better served than depending upon someone with a badge to be at the right place at the right time which we KNOW damn well they rarely if ever are around when you need them.

Truth is, we are talking about a game with teenagers running around on grass playing keep away with a funny shaped ball made of pig skin, and a bunch of people rooting for their favorite teenagers to come out victorious. THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL.
Perspective
Thank you Mike da Tigah

It's called the wedge principle. No matter what stupid act someone commits to get themselves on the bottom of the shite list, it won't be long before before some fool comes in and wedges himself in at the bottom.
Speaking of anecdotal evidence, when LSU fans broke UT's team bus windows with beer bottles, that didn't reflect very favorably on LSU either.

And there was an outrage on this very site when that happened. Nobody pulled up incidents of wrongdoings of Tenn fans to try and make up for it in a half-hearted attempt.

Agreed, as have I EZE. On two occassions I stepped in to break up bullying by some local village idiots who were trying to intimidate some old people leaving the stadium.
Ugh. I had to do this after a MSU game a few years ago. Almost got into a fist fight with another LSU fan who was doing it. It was such a disgrace. Luckily, many other LSU fans intervened and pulled the stupid LSU fan away.
When I worked (at LSU) I took pleasure in ousting idiot fans from the stadium that either insulted other fans or insulted the players on the team. There are always others like me, which is comforting. Every time I stood up to an idiot in purple and gold, there were always others in the same colors ready and willing to stop the madness.
Not once did I see this in NOLA. NOT ONCE. If you wore red, you were part of the team and were supported. Yes, I consider standing in silence as doing nothing as well.
Just amazing, which is why I've said dozens of times here, this "teabagging" incident does not surprise me at all.

What about when the few becomes the many? Or in this case, all of them (with the exception of the guy's girlfriend)?

So I'll be an anecdotal drunk and rowdy meanie, and you can be an anecdotal sexual deviant.

Were other LSU fans lining up to get their picture taken with these guys? Just curious.
