They see nothing wrong with ranting and raving about Alex Rodriguez but have no trouble supporting Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and David Ortiz.

They complain about the Yankees spending too much and yet regularly have one of the highest payrolls in baseball.

Boston Bruins fans took to twitter to hurl racial slurs at an opposing player after he won a game in overtime in 2014.

I mean I guess they are better than fans in Philly who cheered a career ending injury to Michael Irvin, throw batteries at opposing players, had to have a courthouse be installed in a stadium to process all of the criminal complaints and had a fan intentionally vomit on an 11 year old kid.

He went well beyond incidentally interfering with a play. By trying to wrestle the ball away, he was actually trying to change the play. (OK, maybe replay is used and umps say he caught it, then the fan took it.)

But, this goes way beyond a "Bartmann". Bartmann just had a brain cramp and forgot to get out of the way. This guy got in the way on purpose and then some.

I saw it on Sportscenter and they showed the guy standing up and doffing his cap to the other fans like he was proud of himself. They must have cut off the highlight before the security folks hauled him off.

I think he is the typical d-word who gets caught up trying to get a ball---that could have been a 5 year old and he still would have tried to wrestle it away. I don't think he knew who he was trying to get the ball from and when he realized----he had that oh shit look.

Still a Moran.
