Re: A Moment Of Silence (A Lesson In Class)
 

[quote=SmootSmack;388437]Well I'm not surprised by the actions of Ravens fans, I could clearly hear "The Redskins Suck", because they hate the Redskins. But some things should transcend sports. Respect for human life should be one of them.

I heard a lot of respectful moments of silence yesterday. But I didn't hear it at FedEx where I should have heard it...or better said, not heard. No matter what people were hollring, point is (imo) they should have said nothing.

And Lewis definitely looked pissed[/quote]

It sounded pretty quiet to me inside of the stadium, but in the concourse is where you could still hear talking. I was in between the two during the moment of silence. I highly doubt that people were running their mouths on purpose. I think that many of them were unaware it was going on because they hadn't taken their seats yet.

FYI, my trap was shut and my head was bowed.

I was shocked at how quiet it was in Dallas on Thursday night.

I think that most people have this backwards. We have seen thousands and thousands of fans, players, coaches and who ever else pay their respects to Sean Taylor. Its a hand full of people at most of the stadiums that have not shown the respect. I feel it shows that most people do look past the game and did show respect but here people are making a big deal of the few who did not. We are better off just to ignore these people and move on with life.

Agreed.

Unfortunately there is always going to be a handful of a-holes and d-bags out there in any situation.

We shouldn't waste our time on them. Don't let a few morons drag us down.

I have trouble ignoring things that I think are signs of an overall lowering of standards in our culture. It doesn't matter if you're at a game, a graduation, a fucking movie, it seems that whenever EVERYONE KNOWS that you're supposed to be quiet, some clown has to take the opportunity to make a spectacle of themselves. If no one complains about it and shames people into doing the right thing, then it become ok after awhile.
