Either immune or you think its acceptable. For goodness sakes they curse in regular speech in conversation, is there even a havaa amina that their mouths would be anything less than a sewer with alcohol in the system and their emotions involved in the excitement of the game…?

I have seen women drink and curse at games as well and this was in a section of expensive seats at a knick game at the Garden. Her mouth was a sewer.

Yes we should be proud that we are different. It is unheard of that in a crowd of 40,000 there wouldnt be any fights….

Its a beautiful thing that 40,000 could get together and feel a sense of achdus.

The whole event was def a Kiddush Hashem , no doubt !
The fact that Klall Yisroel gathered together in order to improve the internet crisis impressed most Yidden and Goyim alike.

However, on the other hand, there is an expression in English; ‘Let sleeping dogs lie’.

No doubt, ther must have been many naive youngsters with problems who are searching for an escape. The more talk about internet temptations, the more challenged they are.
CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT.
I hope against hope that no one left the stadium that evening with the desire to explore the inevitable!

I wish the artice would stop embellishing. They found their own seats?

WIY, you are correct. I am not nearly as heilig and pure as you and am therefore immune to vulgarity, profanity, and obscene behavior.

Why the need to bash goyim or anyone else? Is there such an inferiority complex amongst the frum Yidden that we need to take jabs at people different than us? Does that make the Citi Field Kiddush Hashem any bigger or better?

I used to attend ball games. Im not sure where you put your standards but it appears not very high. Every game I ever attended had numerous people who drank way too much screaming vulgarities and profanities, and using obscene obscene hand gestures. Thats what happens when someones head is buried in shmutz. He becomes immune to anything but the most extreme vulgar behavior.

It is important to point out, that we as the AM HANIVCHAR should not try to compete with the GOYIM. We are completely different in every aspect. Having said so, any comment related to this piece of news is needless, and even more than that it is pointless. RABOYSAY, let’s keep it this way always, we happen to forgot sometime who we are and what we represent.
I would like to point out a different view. It bothered me the sitting arrengments, meaning that why the ASKONIM did not think of mixing the crowd. What would it be so terrible that a Lakewood TALMID would seat with a Wiznitzer CHOSID, or a Chazon Ishnik with a Satmar CHOSID. I am sure you get the point. There is a lot to talk about this issue, but here is not the place.
The main point is that it was a big KIDUSH HASHEM.

Consider yourself very fortunate if you really can’t imagine the kind of “drunken, immoral and obscene behavior” the ushers and security staff of a major league ballpark have seen over the years. Don’t kid yourself that it doesn’t happen.

Correction: there were 698 buses, not busses! I don’t know how many people kissed each other at the asifa, but I doubt that the number was exactly 698.
