Portis's Mother Throws Blows at Game

[firstdown]

After having a beer dumped on her by an Egles fan, Clinton Portis mother, Rhonnel launched into her attacker and got in a couple of blows before peace was restored. Clinton said that'll teach you to go messing with her. I just thought this was great how she stood her ground and was wondering if anyone here had any problems.

One classless person interacting with another. Having to put up with idiots that scream, yell, and throw stuff because they think it somehow helps the team, or makes them feel like part of the team is the reason why going to games is becoming less and less fun for me.

That just goes to show how classless Eagle fans are. I f-ing hate them. Good for Portis' mom to step up and show them not to mess with her.

Are you saying she was classless for responding?

Yeah - I'm not sure her response qualifies as "classless", especially since it's an older lady we're talking about.

I'm saying she was classless for punching the other person. She should have called an usher or a security guard and had the beer-thrower removed from the stadium.

Maybe we can pick her up for the D-line?

That wouldn't have happened unless the usher had seen it, and if they had seen it there would be no reason to call them.

I think the fact that Clinton scored a TD moments later was the best revenge.

Your right about how she should have responded, but I don't think calling her classless for defending her self is totaly fair.

Maybe she should have apologized for being in the way of the flying beer and offered to purchase the thrower another. Hell, she's probably got money, she can afford new clothes anyway.

It probably wasn't the fault of the beer-thrower anyway. I'd imagine he was abused as a child and suffers from some learning disabilities or emotional problems. I think it was horribly insensitive of Clinton Portis' mom to show up wearing Redskins colors and upset this troubled beer-thrower.

What the hell is wrong with you people??! Whatever happened to defending oneself or one's family??? Bunch of damned pussys.

Like the other sensible posters said, KUDOS to Mrs. Portis for standing up for herself.

[illdefined]

doesn't surprise me, that's a tough family man.

classless?? try useless. that's what 'security staff' in Philadelphia have always been.
mad props to a skin fan fighting back in that hell-hole.

Brotherly love my ass, just ask super fan Chief Zee who only misses Philly games:

CHIEF ZEE
Perhaps the worst mascot beating in sports history, Chief Zee was an unofficial Washington Redskins mascot who earned the wrath of Philadelphia Eagles fans by showing up at a Veterans Stadium game in 1983. Eagles "fans" smashed his eye, broke his leg and stripped him to his underwear. "They treated me like chopped meat," he said later.

There's a right way and a wrong way to handle beer throwing 12th man idiots and she chose the wrong way.

When you are in Philly, the city that beat up santa, there's the "Only Way".
