Flames Fans 6/2/2004 10:44:39 AM
I'm not part of this pack.
The Calgary Flames keep it going, working hard on the ice to help all of us get the most out of the playoffs. They are doing their jobs and doing them well. Fans, however, have gone over the edge. Can't handle the pressure I guess.
Now it's not fair to say all fans are losing it, only that the small few that are make it difficult for everyone else. They are getting abusive and rowdy and to say it's only fun and games is ridiculously immature.
Shops along 17 avenue nicknamed "The Red Mile" have to board up their windows and doors because of the damage being done by fans. The police force has increased it's numbers at most events around town as drinking has increased and the amount of violent incidence has increased. Drinking and driving has become another serious issue. Oh what fun. People really can be so stupid.
I'm going to add something to all the ladies that feel compelled to lift their shirts and bare their breasts when in a crowd. Fuck off! Please, I'm serious, just f*** right off with that shit. Seem a little strong on the vocabulary? Good, then I am successful in communicating that this behaviour really pisses me off. You ruin it for everyone and make being in public a real drag.
I'm no stick in the mud and I realize that there are a lot of guys out there that think I'm being an ass for making such a stand. To all those guys-you can f*** off too because I'm not here to cater to you. Everyone else seems to do that just fine.
I am glad to see that cops are out and about fining these women for this exposure. It is, after all, against the law to expose yourself in public. And yes, women everywhere can get on the women's lib bandwagon and say it's freedom of expression and men show their chests in public and blaa blaa blaa but let's face it, women have sexualized their breast so much that it is almost equivelent to a guy showing his dick in public. Not that I would mind that so much but we need some ground rules so we don't get abusive with our bodies.
So ladies, keep your girls in your shirts and if you really feel a need to show 'em off, be a stripper and keep it in the club where there is no chance that I will ever see them. And guys if you think I'm being a jerk for this then whip off your pants and dance around for me, at least that would be fair. Let us all dance naked in the streets all in the name of hockey. Go Flames Go!
