Baseball couldn't get any worse... probably the most boring sport in the entire world, it's no wonder people feel the need to get wasted and then start crap with others.

I'm guessing you don't care for professional sports in general. Out of the 4 major sports I feel baseball fans are probably the most tame at games.

Not all fanbases are the same either. The Giants just have a fair amount of douchey and thuggish fans. Just look at how they riot when they win the WS.

I enjoy pretty much every pro sport besides baseball because it is such a boring sport. I think Giant fans are actually well behaved compared to other fans. Could you imagine if the A's won a WS? They freaking riot about something that happened in Florida for crying out loud lol.

Well to each their own but MLB is definitely up there with NFL as far as popularity. Maybe you just have a short attention span.

Most Giants fans are fine, douchey but tame. Going back to the Candlestick days there has always been a thug element.

And I highly doubt many of the protesters you see in Oakland give a crap about sports let alone the A's.

No kidding. We're not really venturing to surmise the Blac Bloc from out of town pretending to be Occupiers ever had the slightest interest in the endeavors of the MLB team in Oakland, are we? Oh, good. Let's 'Move On'

Baseball is very fun to watch if you have a mathematical mind. But your posts in this thread are spot on otherwise. I was at the oakland hilton last night. Lots of raiders fans repping dodger blue. Those gang bangers from down in la have a real knack for bring the ugly out of people when they come into the bay. Brain stowe was minding his own business, but this kid was engaging in drunk banter, which always leads to fights. You have to be a little fan boy to want to fight someone over a team which probably does not care to know you.

I notice less of this nonsense during NBA games, probably because even nosebleeds seem to go over $50 these days.
Not offensive from my seat, and good point actually.

Nfl tickets are the most expensive venue. Gangbangers spend hundreds of dollars, just rep their set and bang/front on other people. A lot of machismo mixed in with tons of drinking is like lighting a powder keg
