Fan is short for Fanatic!

All I have to say is WOW:

Football Rivalry Sparks Bloody Skirmish - AOL Sports (http://sports.aol.com/story/ar/_a/football-rivalry-sparks-bloody-skirmish/20070911222809990001)

Yep, I can vouch for the ugliness of this rivalry although I don't think I have ever seen anything go quite this far.

This rivalry is as strong as the Skins v Boyz rivalry back in the 70's! They hate one another and fights do break out from time to time in the local pubs because of it.

It sounds to me that the other guy just want to grab some balls.

Ironic:


Thomas, who once lived in Houston and became a Texas fan during the heyday of star running back Earl Campbell, is still recovering from his injuries but has returned to work as a meat cutter at a Sam's Club warehouse store.

I think I simultaneously laughed and cried after I read this:


"He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body," said Thomas' attorney, Carl Hughes. "He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse."

Ohhh the humanity! Why did he have to add that he was wearing white shorts... gruesome.

What would weird me out is the fact that the guy grabbed my BALLS.

Like, you'd think he'd have punched the guy in the face, hell, maybe stabbed him if he were crazy enough.

But no, he had to grab this guy's sack and pull his nuts out.

You think his friends kind of like, freaked out.

At first they were all liquored up, and egging him on. You know "Go get that dirty Texas fan, we're ready to rumble!" kind of mentality.

Than the dude just rips the guys balls off.

Think about the awkward couple of minutes that ensued.

Like, "Steve... I mean, we were thinking a little beat down, maybe break a beer bottle over his head or something like that. But, uh, you ripped his balls off. Like, out of his body. That's not cool dude. How did you even think of doing that, like the original idea... how did you think to do that? Did you plan that out? Is this some sort of special move you've been saving up? Not cool at all, oh, and uh, you need to find a ride home."

I've actually seen similar injuries...nothing is more disgusting

how did this happen?

was the victim wearing really short george michael white shorts?
Was his sack hanging out the side?
Did the perv reach under and grab his sack and rip it off?

Quite a few years ago I was at RFK watching the Panthers and Skins and this big dude wearing a Troy Aikman jersey was being obnoxious and highly intoxicated blocking people from even watching the game (which we won though it was a Dec. game and playoffs weren't a possibility). Midway through the third I'm in the bathroom and the loudmouth is screaming and bloody next to a urinal with the ripped Aikman jersey in the urinal. Dude deserved a beatdown coming to a game your team isn't even playing in and being an ass.
Still has his balls though.
