Philadelphia fans have reached a new low

[ceebeegee]

Phillies fan intentionally vomits on 11 year old girl after his friend is kicked out for spitting on her family.

Just...wow. As the Philly.com article says, "'It reminds you of the type of behavior you used to hear about at the 700 level in Veterans Stadium,' Vanore said." These are the same kind of people who threw D batteries at one baseball player who'd turned down the Phillies. And when Michael Irvin took a header on their crappy turf and sustained spinal cord injuries that ended his career...they cheered.

What a bunch of thugs. As bad as some professional athletes are (some), some (some) of the fans are worse.

I like the accompanying mugshot. You can tell that this is a guy whose highest intellectual, civic, and artistic achievement in his life will be vomiting on a cop at a baseball game.

I suspect the one or two people defending him in the comments won't even reach those heights.

Anyway, just another reason to look forward to the apocalypse.

The picture *really does* complete the story--the visuals fill in all the missing blanks. Vacant expression, massive black eye, comically unathletic--yep, it's all there.
