Again, if a guy is being racist, it doesn't matter if every single person in the stands agrees with him. If he is being loud enough for a player to hear it, he must be loud enough for security to hear it, right? Especially in the bleachers. IIRC there is security in either every aisle, or every other aisle. How are they missing this?
I'm not doubting there are racist Cub fans. I am doubting that they are stupid enough to broadcast their racism in front of 40,000 people, and clever enough to avoid security while doing it.
To put it another way, I am more than happy (and very likely) to be calling Theriot a stupid fucking cocksucker in the confines of my home. But I wouldn't dream of screaming that at him while I sit in the stands.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Did you not see the dumbfuck that threw beer on Victorino? And that guy didn't even get caught initially, so there goes the theory that security/other fans would take care of the problem. Fans do stupid things and get away with them. I've been in the bleachers while people have said some really nasty things to the opposing players. Not racist, but sexual which can be as bad or worse IMO.
