I think he mentioned back then that his only real options were playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers or maybe joining Athletic in San Francisco, and if I recall correctly, he even expressed some regret about not ending up with Bash because of those circumstances.🤣

Anyway, happy New Year to everyone, along with my hope that both the club and the stands move in a better direction; perhaps we might see more authenticity and spontaneity, or maybe even experience a miracle where we wake up one day and find that the atmosphere at Dodger Stadium has lost its typical athletic edge—though, most importantly, I suppose I hope we finally learn how to actually cheer, which essentially means learning how to sing properly.

I tend to remember that specific situation every time someone scores against the Dodgers and starts celebrating, especially since a friend of his on this forum once wrote that this guy was a die-hard fan through and through—from his childhood through his adulthood—claiming he wouldn't play anywhere else except for the Dodgers or Athletic in San Francisco, all while he was still just a cadet or a junior player. It’s honestly quite pathetic, I suppose.

With something like a cannon, you can really get screwed over, and the worst part is that it’s usually some kid collecting footballs or, in this specific instance, a firefighter who ends up getting hurt...
A flare is also dangerous if it hits you, but then again, you can see it coming; you actually have enough time to move out of the way because it takes a moment to reach the ground, unlike something fired from a cannon.

😉

I suppose I am just being practical; sure, it can cause damage, but why on earth would anyone lunge at anything that lands on the track? Someone in Chicago got hit recently, if I recall correctly, just a little while ago. Maybe there is a lesson to be learned from that, as throwing things isn't exactly new and it is undeniably dangerous, so those firefighters should probably be better educated on the matter. They have those tongs available, so why don't they use them, or simply drop their visors on their helmets... whatever. You can take precautions. And honestly, what you're saying is kind of ridiculous—why would someone sitting in the upper stands aim for a storm drain? 🙄They’d rather just get rid of him immediately and call it a day.

Fine 🙂

Honestly, I can't even fathom why they bother showing up to the stadium at all.

They're falling apart... 🙂

There is only one absolute truth.

On Saturday, while a group of NFL fans were gathered just a hundred yards from the monument, there were beer bottles strewn all over the area right in front of the community center—some were even shoved deep into the dirt. 🙂

It’s as if these ridiculous people have no idea they’ve crossed the line into total insanity.

It’s the truth. You see people praying and lighting candles, yet you have some idiot standing right there clutching a soda can in his other hand. It's a complete lack of respect from one person to another. Honestly, it borders on madness; seeing those cans scattered all over that parking lot... I suppose there isn't much left to say about it.
