Love and Hate at the Game

We went to the Vikings vs. Cowboys game on Sunday. It was, of course, awesome! However, there were some things that annoyed me.

• The people who bring babies to the game and need to change their diapers every 25 minutes. If they need frequent diaper changes, they don’t belong there.




• The same people who brought babies and put ear plugs in their ears. If they are too young to have their ears damaged by the noise in the dome, they don’t belong there.




• People who call themselves true Vikings’ fans, and pay big bucks for play off tickets, but, for some reason, they can’t afford to buy a current jersey. If you were a true fan, you wouldn’t be wearing a Fran Tarkenton jersey. You’d at least fork over the $15 at Target for a current player jersey. Or wear a Vikings’ sweatshirt or something. True fan–pffft!




• People who can’t stay in their seats for more than 5 minutes. They’re up to get a drink. They’re up to get something to eat. They’re up to get another drink. They’re up to go to the bathroom. They’re up to get another drink. They’re up to get something else to eat. They’re up to get another drink. They’re up to go to the bathroom. You get the point. Sit the eff down and watch the game. And stop getting in my way. Why the eff did you buy expensive tickets to a game that you were only see 10 minutes of? And those 10 minutes, you were so drunk, you will never remember the game. What a waste. Plus, you were annoying me.




• Speaking of drunk assholes, the drunk asshole who fell all the way down the stairs and then blamed the innocent guys behind us for tripping him. Um, no, asshole, you were so drunk you couldn’t even stay on your feet. As confirmed by your roommate who drunkenly told the people in front of us all about what a drunk idiot you were.




• People who bring their children to the game. They don’t even have any interest. Leave them at home. Bring them a souvenir. It will cost you a lot less and save seats for true fans who really wanted to be there but couldn’t get tickets because you brought your little brats. I’m talking about those who brought teens and tweens, too. They don’t appreciate it enough. Leave them at home.
• Dallas fans. They don’t belong here. ‘Nuff said.
