To me, there is always more to these stories then we hear. Its pretty simple if you ask me, if you go to an opposing teams' stadium, for any sport, you can wear your teams' gear, but just tone it down.
I've worn Bears stuff at a home Packers game, and got a TON of ****, including from what GBBob and I estimate to be a 12 year old kid, I wasn't rebutting or acting a fool, I took it and will always unless it gets to be a little nuts.
The only time I was really afraid was when I was at Candlestick to see a Bears game. Some of the mexican gangsters had too much to drink and by the 4th quarter things were getting a little nuts. I was with my two real big friends that are dangerous lookin and this skinny mouthy kid. We started getting shoved around and we knew better and just walked away.
People now days just take too things far IMO, and you know what, if it gets to be real ridiculous, there are plenty of local fans that would stick up for non threatening out of town people. We were in Cincy to see a Cubs / Reds game and some jerkoff threw a beer at my friends girlfriend, the ushers came right to us and said we were gone, yet upwards of 10 Cincy fans pointed out it wasn't us and pointed towards the jerkoffs.
