Re: I am saddened…
I am sorry, but the Ravens are responsible. Yes, I know, the people that abuse others are responsible for their own behavior but the Ravens know, KNOW, that this goes on. They should stop it. They should be keeping kids in order and behaving and if a kid pushes another he should be immediately removed. The smaller kids should go first and the bigger kids later. Forget age, go size and let the smaller kids go first.
This has gone on long enough that the Ravens should have some kind of way to keep it from happening.

Re: I am saddened…
I agree with you and i disagree, with the Preseason high jinx. I don't know, what do you expect. Its a friday night and the first teamers only played 1 quarter so i guess people were kinda pissed and alcohol doesn't help. ( mind you, i rarely drink and last time i went to the BANK, Bengals last season, there were alot of drunk people but i didn't see anything that would make me ashamed )
Anyways, as for the Stevenson, autograph thing. Well, i guess you can blame that on the Front Office. You wouldn't see this problem if the Ravens F.O. didn't set up these stupid rules.
These little kids (4,5,6,7 etc ) don't even know what a Autograph is and honestly i don't think it would mean as much to them as it would for a 16yr old or a grown man. I know that sounds kind of mean but lets keep it real. The Grown men are the ones that give the NFL teams money, not 5 yr olds who don't know what or who a Football player is.
On that note, it does make me sick for the people trying to get Autographs just to sell them on EBAY and such. Its sickening, they aren't true Fans to me. I would treasure the autographs i would get.

Re: I am saddened…
LOL @ "the Ravens are responsible." YOU are one of the people accountable. This is because you think the team can keep all fans/kids in order, but seem to disregard their own/parents culpability. So when there are 60,000+ fans in the stands, and a fight breaks out, do you believe the Ravens are responsible too? Your thinking is so unrealistic... Bc

Re: I am saddened…
Been to dozens of games and had PSL's in the upper and lower sections and have never seen an issue except for the usual dude who's too drunk to stand get escorted out. I've seen stuff go down outside in the lots, but never in the stands. I am sure it happens though.
So I am with the camp that says this was the exception, not the rule, in terms of fan behavior. The exhibition games bring out the folks who do not normally go out to games, thanks to greater and cheaper availability of the tickets.

Re: I am saddened…
I almost went to Dave an Busters the night their was a double homicide there, so I agree, people can be idiots anywhere, but I avoid that place at night and find the stadium a far safer place with not only cops, but decent Raven's fans that will patrol their own tailgates from moronic behavior.

His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: I am saddened…
I have been to every Ravens game since 2004 and never seen anything like this in the stadium. Ravens fans behave well even when drunk. Yes I have seen some swearing back and forth between fans of the other team and our fans but thats the extent of it.
As for the autographs, thats always been an issue where the older people always get the autographs because they push the little kids out of the way. This always happened at McDanial and thats why the wrist bands came into play but it still did not stop people from lying about their age (really being 18) and saying 16 and the real 16 year olds pushing little kids away.
