Girls Just Wanna Have Fun?

It is not that a woman is fighting in this video that is troublesome, it is the fact that the other fans around the incident start to cheer and shout profanity back at the woman. The football game is no longer the attraction as everyone around this incident has shifted their focus and their cheering towards the fight between fans. I find it very ironic that both the woman and the man involved in the argument are both Detroit Lions fans. How do two “fans” of the same team engage in an argument while their team is playing against the Minnesota Vikings, who are division rivals with the Lions? It also hard to understand how the woman’s friend is trying to pull her away from the argument, but later ends up yelling in the man’s face just like her friend was. Notice how long it takes security to arrive even though through most of the video the two gentlemen are constantly calling for security. At one point they even make eye contact with security on the field and you can see the security officers look up at them and then casually walk away. Finally, it is shocking to see how the woman reacts when she is approached by security. She continues to banter with the other fans while simultaneously pleading with the officers. She does not seem to understand or really care that she is being escorted by security and embarrassing herself. In fact, when the officers try to let her retrieve her purse, she takes the opportunity to punch the fan. Now you would think since there was police there assisting she would realize that she is now going to jail for assault and would start acting more sorrowful and regretful, instead she decides to shout profanity at Vikings fans on her way out of the stadium. It is hard to understand what would cause this woman to engage in a verbal conflict with a fellow fan, that other fans would cheer and encourage the fight, how long it takes security to arrive allowing the incident to escalate, and how a person can show no remorse or shame while being placed under arrest and escorted out of the stadium. NFL fans clearly have a different personality and attitude when attending games if this is the sort of behavior that is tolerated and cheered for.
