Before yesterday's game 4 of the NLDS between the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers, there was a peaceful protest outside of Busch Stadium in St. Louis for Mike Brown, the unarmed young man shot to death by a piss poor police officer in Ferguson, MO. A group of Cardinals fans tried to shout down the peaceful protesters with the usual conservative drivel of a) get a job, b) go back to Africa, and c) we hate black people (actually "Let's go Darren Wilson"--same thing).
I wasn't surprised by the fact that Cardinals' fans were involved in such chickenshittery--I've attended baseball games all over America and Cardinals' fans are by far and away the biggest assholes. I also wouldn't have been surprised had this occurred outside a of a Rams game. Or a St. Louis University basketball game. Or a Blues game.
But a baseball game? Baseball is to sports as Bob Dylan once was to rock 'n' roll--brains wrapped in a melody. Baseball is a thinking person's game.
Who knew that idiots attended baseball games, too?
Peace,
