[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 554820, member: 13882"] Suz, I'm glad you feel comfortable enough with us to vent. Often, when we are at professional baseball or football games with my brother in law, he will yell crazy, insulting things out to certain players which I think are embarrassingly offensive. Remarkably, some think he's funny. Never once did I ever think about brother in law's target's parents. I would doubt they would be in the cheap seats with us, but sure, it's cringeworthy, and he shouldn't even be yelling those things out in front of anybody. brother in law actually kicks the abuse up a notch if anyone voices an objection, which makes me regret going to games with him, esp. if he drinks at the game. Sadly, some people believe that simply because they bought a ticket to a game that gives them the right to say whatever they want. Just because we're free to do most things, doesn't necessarily mean we should do them! I'm sorry this causes you pain, and I'm sorry for the loonies, too. Some folks have developed a thick skin when it comes to public embarassment. I have never been able to do so...I would be crying, running for the ladies room at the stadium, if I were in your shoes, and I heard nasty, vicious comments about my difficult child. I don't think I'd be able to attend the games, either, if that happens to you frequently. Ugh. Sometimes I just lose my faith in humanity! [/QUOTE]
