I love sports; but it should be about enjoying a time out from "the real world", and it should serve as a pleasant diversion.

When British "Hooligans" were beating and stabbing people at European Football matches a few years ago, it concerned me - despite the fact I knew none of the victims there either.

it's nothing to do with who it was or not caring. the fact that he's a vet doesn't make a difference.

Jesus people. If I get screwed by a mechanic does someone cry "Vet gets bamboozled by garage!"? If a store won't honor a return policy does anyone scream "Vet get's fucked over by Best Buy!!"? nope. The vet angle made a headline but doesn't matter in the slightest.

This all makes me laugh.

I don't believe I mentioned anything about him being a vet..

My comment was not directed at you, by the way.

Who the fuck gives a shit about the vet part? The guy got jumped by Philly fans who paid a hobo to spray him with cleaning supplies. AT the Winter Classic.

Sadly in retail the "vet" angle is used a lot. Not usually by people under 60, though.

I do have the utmost respect for all current and former armed forces members, but that doesn't mean my bosses would allow special privileges.
