Could this happen in any other city? A grown-ass drunk man deliberately vomiting on a little girl. Despicable. Kind of hilarious, but despicable.
I want to believe that everything I think about Phillies fans is fallout from confirmation bias and the like, plus I know these are isolated incidents, but man, it doesn’t seem like even Yankee fans sell sex for World Series tickets or intentionally barf on children.
UPDATE, 11:13 a.m. I realize that terms like “despicable” sound rather sanctimonious, something I generally like to avoid. But let the record show I’m typing it while shaking my head more in disbelief than in actual fury.
They are trash, but I still rooted for the Phils in the series last year. I guess I prefer die-hard degenerates over arrogant front-runners.
If you lived in the middle of Pennsylvania, you wouldn’t have felt that way.
I dunno, Ted. I think that “despicable” pretty much sums up the act of intentionally vomiting on a family that is trying to enjoy a day at the ballpark. It’s accurate, not sanctimonious.
Also true.
I totally agree with Catsmeat here. You should feel free to use the word “despicable” to describe this clown. (His mug shot is priceless, though. Pretty much exactly what you expect him to look like after reading that story.)
It just dawned on me — this was right out of an episode from two and a half men. Charlie’s fiancee ditched him for good after he puked into a baby carriage while hungover.
My fiancee told me earlier this season that her girlfriend wanted to go to a Mets/Phillies game in Philly. I just laughed.
