So this headline was on cnnsi.com, I want you to try and guess which sport it's from:
Police look for fan who bit man's ear off at game
If you guessed that it was at a Manchester United football/soccer game, then congratulations! You win an honorary doctorate in nutball psychology from Hollywood Upstairs Medical Clinic.
Seriously, though, in what other sport do things like this happen, not among the athletes, who can sometimes get carried away in the emotions of the game, but among fans? For all their supposed "craziness", Raider Nation has never divorced anyone from their auditory apparatus.

Tyson v. Holyfield.
ReplyDeleteThat's my point though: Tyson and Holyfield were athletes in competition with each other, and while it's not excusable that Mike Tyson bit Evander's ear off, it's more understandable that they did it. Who hasn't gotten into it with someone while participating in a sporting event? These people are spectators, not competitors.
