This video shows how the entertainment fans receive from violence in the stands far outweighs the entertainment value they receive from the football game that they paid money to attend. The video’s original intent was to be a recording of the game. The director of this video is clearly focused on the game alone at the beginning of this clip, but then a fight breaks out. You see the camera surfing for where the profanities are coming from at the beginning, and then you here the excitement from the director when he finds the fight. The person in the green jersey is a Green Bay Packers fan attending a game at the New York Giants. I do not know what started this heated argument, but you notice a change in his demeanor very quickly when he stands and confronts the other fan he is arguing with because he begins to posture himself in a very aggressive manner. You can see his hand gestures as he waves for the other fan to come towards him. He begins to lift up his jersey and you see his anger escalade by his facial expressions. What happens next really needs to be analyzed because the Green Bay Packers fan seems to just switch into a completely different person. Right after he lifts his jersey notice his facial expression, it is one of someone who just became completely possessed by anger and violence. He then fully extends his arm and with an open palm he shoves a female by her face and almost causes her to fall down several rows of stands. A man eventually holds the Packers fan down, and seems to try and talk to him and calm him down. The Packers fan must be possessed with uncontrollable rage because he escapes and is consequently knocked down rows of seats. This is a very brutal and despicable incident but what makes it even worst is the lack of chivalry and decency in the people surrounding the incident. I would think that after witnessing a woman being assaulted more fans would try to hold the dangerous and violent Packers fan down until security arrived…..but this is the NFL, and these are its fans.
