The "true fans" argument? You're better than that, Biscuit. Any "untrue fan" could just as easily make the argument that YOU'RE not a "true fan" because you DON'T express your discontent at the performance of the team. I say both of you are wrong. Fans are fans. Some of them freak out and throw shit at their TV when the team sucks. Some of them just sit there quietly and stew in their seething anger. Some cheer even when the team sucks. Some boo even when the team is decent. Some realize it's just a game and don't get too worked up over it. They're all fans, and it's silly to pretend one is OMG SO MUCH MORE FANLISTIC than the other.

It has to be challenging to go out to dinner with family members and friends and have some stupid see a well known person and cause trouble. If the roles were reversed, guaranteed this trouble maker would already have an attorney and be suing. Too bad the SB Tribune didn't have the courage to publish the sucker puncher's name. I have a very close relative that non-violently in a good Samaritan way tried to break up a fight. He was punched in the eye by one of the fighters. A week or two later he discovered that he had a torn retina. Major eye surgery was required to repair the damage. Had the eye problem not been found when it was, he would have lost the sight in one of his eyes. Sucker punchers are scum. Add one more more level of difficulty for ND football players.
