re: How do we feel about this? Fan yells something about Marte's mother who passed in 2017.

It would be great if your mother died in a miserable way and then when you were at work a couple years later someone specifically made fun of it

Dox the frick out of the fan. Let the chips fall where they may.

Again. Do we know he specifically mentioned his mom dying? Or was it some drunk Chicago guy saying “hey Marte I texted your mom!” Or some variation of the same dumb shite that is said in virtually every ballpark in America multiple times a game much less over a season.

My buddy played for UCF. When they had a series against LSU, fans in the outfield knew his mom, dad, and current girlfriend’s name at the time. They heckled him relentlessly. He actually thought it was amazing that college baseball fans cared that much as most away series were in front of empty bleachers. He gave it back to them and said it was the most fun he ever had on a random series.

If this dude is bringing up dead moms crucify his arse, if he’s just a dumbass with unoriginal yo mama heckling in front of his retarded Chicago buddies seems a bit extreme to ruin his life. That’s not even personal, it’s just like saying “you’re fat” or “you’re ugly.”

Anyone who does something like that just reveals themselves to be a horrible, mean-spirited person. Over a game. Ridiculous.

I've sat in the bleachers for a Cubs game, it was pretty brutal on the outfielders

But it never crosses the line.

I've sat in the bleachers once at Wrigley and was down low, like 3rd row. I was very impressed with how the bleacher fans police themselves and how the ushers do the same. They take pride in being fun, but keeping it in check.

One drunk guy started yelling f-bombs and an usher came over and very politely told him to stop. Very non-confrontational and effective. I was impressed with the culture.

Of course this is way off base, but I would think a grown adult should be able to deal with a death of a parent after 8 years. I was extremely close to my mom and she passed away 3 years ago. If some idiot yelled something at me about my mom, I wouldn’t cry.

I know Saints fans saw and heard what the Bears had to say about Katrina in 2007, along with the Colts fans in the Super Bo

Fans are going to talk shite especially on their home turf. I went to Auburn in 2008 and got Katrina jokes multiple times. I blew it off. I always had a rule of not fighting on the road.

That being said you don’t talk about a man’s mother. Dude should have gone Joey Belle on the guy.

Yeah athletes going into the stands and fighting fans is a great solution.

You don’t talk about another man’s momma unless you’re prepared to get punched in the teeth

People have gotten too used to saying and doing whatever they want with no fear of consequences.

I read that the fan was banned from White Sox home games. I also read that he was extremely remorseful and nearly in tears in his apology AFTER the incident.

My Mom's been dead for five years, but Owlfan still makes comments about fricking her.
Of course, he's a massive piece of shite.
