When lots of people look at you with hatred in their eyes, it can get scary. What did I learn from this? I will not boo Philly fans at Citifield anymore. It's not right, or fair to the fan of the other team. I would just do it in jest without any animosity. But still it can be intimidating and it becomes a lopsided numbers game.

Hooliganism has been eliminated in the Premier League. I'm a huge European football fan and I keep up. I watch matches every week and prefer that to American sports, but that's another story for another day. When I go to a game on foreign soil, I don't make a scene and nobody even knows who I'm rooting for. If I were in Philly, I'd simply watch and have a warm inner satisfaction if my team won. I wouldn't feel the need to rub it in their face. I was at a Charger game against the Colts. The lady next to me couldn't determine who I was rooting for so she asked. I told her I was a Patriot fan. She said she hated the Patriots. I told her I understood but on that day I was rooting for the Chargers. She was high fiveing me the whole game. That was the game where Manning was intercepted 6 times. Having grown up in the urban areas of the big city, I come from very humble beginnings, you learn not to antagonize in foreign territory. Foreign territory to us was the next neighborhood. I can't tell you how many fights it took for me to learn that lesson. Har! Har!
