and I don't mean to come off too politically incorrect, but there is such thing as being too family friendly. It's gotten to the point where friendly heckling is frowned upon. I've seen a dude get kicked out for heckling the Mets. I've seen ushers be straight dikkheads to people. Some of the coolest shyt I saw at the park or court would be some of the most vulgar shyt that popped off. Every night after a Yankee game a fight would break out. A "show your t*ts" chant got said. "fukk" being said during basketball games by anyone. Ushers being chummy with you. New Yorkers nowadays have as much as soul as a boring pornstar. All to protect Timmy and Tommy from seeing the real side of life, how shyt really is.

You're actually better off going to one of those team related bars and watching the game there. I watched the NFC title game at a Niners bar and that experience tops anything I coulda gotten at a game.

That Nets new fanbase is so corny.

I posted this as well, but at a game years back, they were playing BIG, M.O.P., Smif N Wesson during breaks, and some hipster douche bag chick wearing a pigtailed quilted hat walked past me in the aisle in some nasally midwestern accent saying "I thought they were going to play more Jigaaaaaa!!!"

:scusthov:

Just a cornball crowd.

This is pretty spot on. The security at these games are over the top....cheering and being loud close to the premium seats is a one way pass out of the stadium/arena.

I'd say its the least strict at the football games. Knicks/Yanks forget it. They'll toss you for cursing.

Wtf?

You're a complete idiot.

DC is one of the fastest growing white cities in the country. Lol at a petition stopping gentrification.

Where's your parents?

They're pushing all the Poor Folks and Minorities all the way to Baltimore.

My Coworker was telling me that they've pushed out 75% minorities out of Arlington and it was nothing like how it was 10 years ago.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
You also have to look at how this team was put together. KG and Pierce don't have a history there and everyone else is hired guns. It would be one thing if they built the team through the draft and had a core of home grown talent but they don't. Brook Lopez is the only star player they drafted and he's always hurt. And they also don't have a superstar player. The Nets were so desperate to sell tickets and compete with the Knicks that they mortgaged their future for short term gains.
