members of the visiting crew right up against our stands because let's face it, moms and little kids aren't out there lighting flares. End of story.

If you were actually at Wrigley Field, you probably saw exactly who was sitting in those seats and who ended up getting hit or hurt. Just check any clip on YouTube—you'll hear nothing but women's voices, and just look at the photos of the elderly folks there... That flare was lit on the floor in the home section before the first two even flew over from your side of the stadium.

Look, I’m not a hardcore fanatic, so I haven't spent tons of time in San Francisco (last time was maybe 2006, if I recall right)—and honestly, I’ve never been the one getting pelted with rocks from the stands—but man, we were constantly getting targeted by fans traveling all the way from Savannah to San Francisco...

I'm not making any excuses for people throwing projectiles, though. No way.

total nonsense said:I told them—Mark Thompson2—right after the game, those fans are acting like such babies, crying for three days straight just because a couple of flares landed near the away section. They’re out here acting like we’re terrorists who blew up a hospital or something.

Look, there’s a whole fence and about 30 feet of space separating the visiting ultras from the local supporters over on the southwest side of the stadium. As far as I know, the Black Knights have never even tossed a flare toward the west stands...

Man, what a bunch of geniuses. I really gotta hand it to those reporters, especially that one article claiming the players didn't get any rest until they hit Chicago... total 1950s-era propaganda right there.
