Speaker 1 (00:01):
This weekend the Ryder Cup finished up, and part of
the story at the Ryder Cup, besides the fact that
Europe won.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Again, was the.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Behavior of the New York fans, especially towards Rory McElroy,
but in general two team Europe, and the fact that
Erica McElroy, his wife had a beer thrown at her
and that responded.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
That made a response come from one.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Chipper Jones, the former Atlanta Braves player in Major League
Baseball Hall of Famer, and to kind of kind of
take a little bit what he said in his tweet,
kind of paraphrase it here a little bit. He said,
I played in the Major League Baseball for how many
years he played? And I had I think it was
(00:50):
over seventy games a regular season in playoffs in New
York either at the Mets stadiums or at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, he said, like he played twelve to fifteen times
a year at whether it was it like you mentioned shay.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Or or City Field or Cityfield or or either of
the Yankee stadiums, either of.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
The New York stadiums, for twenty years, not including the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
And he said, at no time when my wife and
kids allowed to go to the games. I wonder why
he said he said it's not necessarily right or acceptable
that New York fans behave the way they do, but
they are, and you know they are before you're going
to go, So why put your family in harm's way?
I mean, he's not wrong, Okay, I don't disagree with
(01:37):
that for the reasons why he said what he said.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
But the most important thing for a performer.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
You can talk about the wins and losses, you can
talk about the money that you get from doing it,
but to be able to share the thrill of victory
and to be able to commiserate together in the agony
of defeat with people that you love and that love
you back, is a really, really good thing.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It is amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I always talk about Tiger Woods, and I think Tiger
Woods' demise and and his it is Tiger and and
his and his path down the wrong path with the
infidelity and everything happened about the same time his dad died.
Because he never had anybody that he really wanted to
(02:28):
share his wins and losses with, and mostly his wins
and he's still won between you know, seven and of
certainly eight, but he never really to me, the I
don't know, it just seemed like he didn't necessarily care
if if if eleanor and Ortigan was there or not
Eland he didn't it didn't seem to to be able
(02:51):
to have that same sense of being able to share
the wins and losses with her like he did with
his dad, because his entire life it was only his dad.
And I really believe that when you do something in
a sports world, in a championship world, you want your
family there. You see basketball family members sitting in the stands.
You see baseball family members sitting in the stands. You know,
(03:14):
you know Giselle was there when Tom Brady was winning
championships in the NFL. You see you see Taylor there
for the Kansas City Super Bowl wins and losses, And
it really matters. I think the players to be able
to share that experience and not just go home and say,
you know, are sit in the hotel room and watch
it on TV. To actually be in the park and
(03:37):
from the box seats that the players get, the way
they can kind of reach out and touch the action.
I think it's a shame that we can't have a
sporting event or fans regardless of how obnoxious they want
to get. Leave the players' families alone. I don't care
whether you're in New York or LA or anywhere else.
That is unacceptable. And if you do something to disrupt,
(03:57):
to disrupt the game, and even if you want to heckle,
you want to heckle Roy, heckel Roy, he's fair game,
he's playing, but heckel to Erica, she's not fair game.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
She's just there to support her husband.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And to me, if you're gonna do that, that's a
mediate ejection from the sporting event and a lifetime ban
of ever coming back. I don't think. I don't I
understand what Chipper is saying, but I don't care. That's
to me, he would have and I know they won
one World Series in ninety five, but I would imagine
(04:29):
that he would experience that way differently if his family
was there to experience it with him. And I think
that really matters to a lot of athletes.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I don't disagree, But again, like Chipper Jones said in
his tweet, it's not right, and it doesn't even necessarily
have to be just New York fans, any fans anything.
It's not right, but it happens that's the unfortunate thing.
We should, as sports fans know when to draw the
(05:00):
line and who's off limits and who's on limits. But unfortunately, Andy,
not everybody is going to have the common sense our
favorite word, and the wherewithal, especially when uh liquid courage
is involved.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
That's the and and that needs to be expressed. No
matter how obnoxious of a fan you are. We need
to print on the back of the tickets more rules.
You know, there's always a disclaimer on the back of
the ticket, like you know, if you get hit by
a foul ball, we don't take responsibility for it, or
if or if you jump off, if you run onto
the field, you're gonna be, you know, spend the night
(05:35):
in jail for trespassing. But I think we shall also
put on the back of the tickets, you know, to
a certain extent. Heck, all the fans all you want,
but the families and there and family members and especially
their wives and kids are one hundred percent off limits.
And if we find that you're doing things and certainly
throwing beer at them, you're not You're never going to
a to a golf event ever. Again, We're gonna take
(05:58):
a picture of you and we're gonna have facial recognition.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Software and you're done. You're not getting in there.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And I think that's kind of a I think the
players want their families there to experience that with them,
and it's really important and they should be able to
do that, all right. The injury list in gambling, let's
talk about that next.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's four fifty six on the tickets.
