From the excitement of elite athletes to the disgrace of unruly fans, this reflection calls out bad behavior at sporting events. Using the Ryder Cup at Bethpage as a cautionary tale, it reminds us to appreciate the skill, dedication, and performance of the players—not to embarrass ourselves, our families, or our country by acting like an inebriated fool. Sportsmanship, respect, and watching the game with your eyes wide open matter more than loud cheers or cheap antics.

The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it will have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The writer cup on Long Island. And you might be
an a hole. If remember the old there was a
exci with a redneck comedy tour there. You might be
a redneck if well, you might be. You might no, no, no,
you might not might be. You definitely are an a hole.
(00:37):
If gee, I don't know, you go to sporting events
and you spend the entire time drunk out of your mind, yelling,
yelling at athletes that can do things that you couldn't
dream of doing. I never ever ever understood this again,
(00:57):
I am love sports, been an athlete my entire life.
I remember, first of in New York City and taking
a train and going to Yankee games and Yankees be
playing a Red Sox and watching unruly a hole Yankee
fans and yeah, you're gonna get them in Boston too.
(01:17):
It doesn't make any difference, screaming, screaming at the players
and going crazy and all this crowd. I'm like, can't
you just shut the hell up and watch the game
and cheer on your players. You might want to appreciate
what these athletes can do. It's one of the things
(01:38):
I try to explain to my kids and young people.
If you ever have the opportunity the luxury of watching
the best, the best at what they do, do what
they do, watch it. Take it in, Okay, don't be inebriated.
Watch what they do. Okay, there's lessons in that. I've
(02:00):
never had the opportunity to see Messy play soccer, but
I'm going to why not why to watch everything that
they do? Learn from them. I don't care what it
may be. You're going to pick things up from people
like that to watch, to watch these a holes. Okay,
And I'm embarrassed because I lived on Long Island for
a period of time. I don't know. Again, they probably
(02:22):
weren't just all from Long Island, but from all over
the place. Going to a golf event Ryder Cup beth
Page is say, it's a public golf course on Long Island.
I've been there for events. I don't play golf, my
nephews played there. It's a very very difficult course. We
proceed to get our ass kicked by the Europeans. Okay,
(02:46):
it happens. It happens. Our fans, in case you're not aware,
acted like complete and utter animals now that matter. In fact,
they go to a golf event and cut off off sleeves,
dress like and I mean in the movie what was
it Happy Gilmore there with Adam Sandler if you haven't
(03:07):
seen it, it was like Happy Gilmore times one hundred. Oh yeah, yeah.
Guess what you're not might be an ahole, but you
definitely are an a hole if you throw drinks at
the wives of the European that we are, the players
and the Europeans, are you out of your mind? Again?
(03:28):
An absolute embarrassment for our country. I mean again, what's
wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
People?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
For crime? Who the hell do you think you are?
Then again, they're trying to politicize, you know, the social media.
It's just a maga world we live in. Whatever whatever
a hole is going to do, when an a hole
is going to do. Aliston, I've been involved with sports,
coach sports for a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
We've had to coaching.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I've had issues with parents where you know, they yelled
at you know, during you know, tournaments for youth, your tournaments,
yelling at kids on the field, one strike rule, don't
ever do it again. Don't ever do it again. You
go to get especially youth. You see parents your mind
(04:23):
cheer the kids on. As a matter of fact, you
don't just cheer your kids on or the team that
your kid is playing on, but you cheer the kids
on from the other team as well when they make
a good play.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
As a coach, you know, I'm coaching my team and
I want to win as competitive as hell. But another
kid makes a great play, great play, kid, great job?
Are you a kid? Me again? These are these are
people again that again, I don't even think they had
glory days. Yeah I have Bruce Springsteen. You know glory days.
(04:58):
You know had their days back when they are and
I don't even think they had them. Okay, you know
what type of loser you are. And again, take a
good hard look. I know being harsh today, Harvey, judgmental. Listen, Okay,
I'm not being judgmental. It is what it is. Take
a good hard look in the mirror. We'll ever support
my team. I'm a fan. No no, no, no, no,
(05:21):
Let me ask you a question. Uh, you know, throw
a couple of players out.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Derek Jeter.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Derek two, probably pretty big fan of the Yankees, played
his entire career there for the New York Yankees. Do
you think when Jeter goes to a Yankee game, do
you think he starts uh screaming at the opposing team
and calling names. No, because he knows and you don't
(05:55):
shut the hell up and appreciate what you're watching, Okay,
And if you can't do that, stay home and your
little man cave, loser man cave in your basement there,
drink your cheap beer to your inebriated, and scream at
the TV. Don't embarrass yourself, don't embarrass your family, don't
(06:17):
embarrass your kids, and don't embarrass the country for crying
out loud by being an a hole. Watch Dog on
