New Hampshire (1942) The first introduction of "fighting words" which is what was going on in the video. Only you would be so ignorant. How angry are you? I guess very angry. Like I said trying to make yourself seem right when you watched a 2min video wouldn't go well for you. Lol I’m angry? I said the words verbal and physical have different meanings and you are stomping your feet telling me I’m wrong. And I’m angry?

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) If one doesn't like the abuse be directed your way, then you get away. If one can't, don't sucker punch them... That's when a homicide happens. Nobody deserves to die over just words. At the very worst, square up on the abuser and counter with more words... THEN if it turns into "fighting words"... At least both are prepared and chance of it turning into a homicide have been sort of lessoned. Verbal abuse never deserves a sucker punch. When did the younger generation stop being taught: "Sticks and stones break your bones, but names will never hurt them."

Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 We live 3 hours from Boston, so while it’s much more expensive, it’s also much more convenient to attend Bills and Sabres games in Foxboro/Boston. I always remind my wife and children to be “good visiting fans.” Cheer, but don’t be obnoxious. Never yell anything at the opposing fans. If people “chirp” at us for being fans of the opposing team, just ignore them. Never verbally retaliate. It’s dumb and not worth it. Again, very basic things you can do to prevent some young, drunken idiot from Staten Island from punching your teeth out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there are certain rare exceptions that involve self defense. But I also don’t have much sympathy for the Bolts fan talking ***** incessantly after a win at MSG. Don’t do that. You’re just asking to get knocked out by one of those idiots. As the kids say…talk *****, get hit 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t think anyone on here has shown true sympathy for the Lightning fan…..he was not behaving well……but that doesn’t provide an excuse for the Rangers guy. And despite protestations of some….one….it doesn’t make the exchange equal. A few years back some SF Giants fans stabbed a Dodgers fan to death. I’m guessing everyone was drunk. If they were should that even everything out? I also remember one where a guy wearing a Dolphins shirt got knocked down in an Oakland bathroom and a bunch of Raider fans peed on him. I’m not sure if anyone was drunk or if the peeing was just on principal but I hope they threw the book at the guy wearing that shirt in Oakland and took away all his laundry detergent. 5 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: We live 3 hours from Boston, so while it’s much more expensive, it’s also much more convenient to attend Bills and Sabres games in Foxboro/Boston.

BillsFan4 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Trash talking and physical assault are not the same. And Trash talking does not mean you are trying to get someone to be physical. It just means you are trash talking after a win. If you see trash talk as a reason to hit someone then you have issues and need to grow up or get counseling for your anger. Adults are able to realize that words are just words and not a reason to assault someone. Especially when we are talking about a stupid sporting event. It’s supposed to be fun. Nothing anyone can say about the Bills or Sabres losing a game would ever make me want to assault them. nothing that lightning fan said made him deserve to be sucker punched.

Was victim dude smaat to be talking chit after a game like that NO.....I think one is worse than the other in as much as hothead is now arrested. I hope the loudmouth learned a lesson too though . Kep yer trap shut and celebrate away from likely rabble and hot tempers....DUH.......unless you just want that moment of prickesness because it is who YOU are. Live and Learn pal. Make better choices! Im just saying Ive been in some of those same situations after a huge win you keep your head down and keep it moving out away from their fans. Its just smarter. Being knocked out cold no es bueno I cant imagine that guy doesnt wish he kept his mouth shut at this point. And the guy who considered it a good idea to react violently will pay a price now too **limp clap*** 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take sports that seriously that you feel the need to assault someone for simply bragging about their team’s win, you have a serious problem with anger. I hope the guy in the red shirt was caught and has charges pressed against him. While I in no way condone assaulting someone for talking *****, I bet the guy that got knocked out will probably be a bit more careful with his words going forward . Dude that threw the punch should either do a bit of time of sign a waiver to get a random sucker punch at any given time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams have stars. Biggest difference I see is goaltending. At least Kuemper will be back for Colorado. That’ll help, but Kuemper is no Vasilevskiy. Should be a really good series! Itll be interesting to see if Colorado is able to score on Vasi when he goes into shutdown mode. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
