Behavior in public sports books?
While at the MGM Grand on friday, I was waiting for the buffet to open for dinner, so I decided to go see what games were on in the sports book. To my pleasant suprize, Colorado (where I went to school) was taking on visiting rivals Nebraska. Unfortunately, they were taking a beating and late in the third period objects were being thrown from the student section onto the field. A lady wearing red, sitting RIGHT next to me with her husband was going on and on about how "Colorado fans are the worst," and "their just pissed cuz they have a sucky team." I withheld my remarks of "Maybe youre just jealous because youre white-trash [censored] from a [censored] hole like Nebraska where theres nothing to do but molest cattle and hate people from Colorado." So then I got to wondering:
Should she curb these types of comments when shes in a public sports book where obviously fans for both teams are sitting together? Or, should I just expect hearing nonsense like this since I'm in a public sports book where there are fans from the other team? |

Colorado sucks. And their football players are busy raping coeds when not at practice. References are available for both assertions. (Well, assertion #1 is just damn obvious.)

The comment was fine IMO. The fans actions were dispicable and they were the suck at the time.
By the way Warren Buffet lives in Nebraska and Omaha is not that bad. You can live for cheap there. I am jealous of their gas prices. |

Theres nothing wrong with what the lady said, I would have to say she is correct. Theres a reason people from other schools in the Big XII don't travel to Boulder. It is because they know that something bad will happen in the course of day. Tires will be slashed (happened to me), you will be cursed at (by 12 year olds with there parents watching and smiling) and so on.
Colorado's fans will also be a detriment (thats bad for you CU fans) to their team when it comes to bowl selection. Besides their normally bad behavior they do not travel well. The three pot-addled fans that do head off to the bowl game usually get lost and end up curing an attack of the munchies at the nearest IHOP. |

Absolutely! Everyone else checked their common sense and decency at the door. Why should you be the only one to act like an adult?
This is what sports is for! It gives each and every one of us an excuse to behave disgracefully. Whether it's at the Little League game, in the seats at a major league stadium, or in the sportsbooks of Vegas: turn on your emotions, and turn off your logic! |

...will do.
But I am actually asking a valid question regarding etiquette in public sports books. Are remarks like these a breach of etiquette? |
