I suspect the egg thrower will be able to find an equally rewarding position that is on par with working at an Airport Restaurant.

It's kind of bizarre that they let the restaurant workers onto the tarmac.

I think you're proving that you know very little about the city. If you're a corny tourist who never leaves Bourbon Street, then I can see your point. But the entire city offers so much more than that. There's more history and character on one city block of New Orleans than there is in entire neighborhoods of Atlanta.

Vegas is a poor man's Vegas. It's not nearly as high class as some seem to think it is. Going there is surprisingly cheap, and the entire city reeks of tawdry, working class entertainment.
Wut?

Anyone getting their panties in a wad over this really needs to take a deep breath.

If anything, this is simply awesome. The airport employees should get a raise.

America has turned into a bunch of pansies who will cry about anything. Pick something more relevant to focus on.

Crying over it is silly. Praising or condoning the act is just as foolish.

Now tell me that you would just shrug it off if someone chucked eggs at your car.

I'd get a hose and wash off the egg.

And you wouldn't say or do anything to the person that did it? Lies.

Yeah right.

"Sorry team, you're going to have to wait for me to stop the bus, get out of the bus and find a hose, even though that's potentially a TSA violation, and spray off this bus. Sit tight."

Sorry, but that isn't how things work in the real world.

Sports fans, grow up. You look like idiots. Nobody respects that but other idiots.

Sorry, but it just puzzles me that this incident even made it on the radar when it comes to sports fans fanaticism much less garnered all this outrage. Growing up in South Georgia in the 80's it wasn't uncommon for buses coming from games at Valdosta High Schools Death Valley stadium to be pelted with rocks and bottles never mind eggs and they had police escorts! As a matter of fact most SEC buses travel with State Trooper escorts into enemy territory for just this reason. You do realize that many fans at New York City football and baseball games in the past have been known to throw DD batteries among other things at opposing fans and players. You can be prepared to be constantly taunted and harassed by them if you sit among them with the other teams gear on. I recall a game a couple decades ago where Cleveland Browns fans in the dog pound pelted an unconscious player with snow balls. Anyone else remember that? Do you realize what type of activity takes place from football hooligans in Europe almost every week? (Different type of football but I'm just saying.)

All of this just to say people freaking out this much about a few eggs on a bus? Really? On the big body of sports fan craziness this is barely a pimple.

Yep, if you value your life you don't travel up I59 after the Bama/Tennessee game. The overpasses rain conderblocks. I think they station troppers on them from Tuscaloosa to the state line these days.
