Horse Racing.....the sport of Nobles?

[Innkeeper]

Haven't been to a major sporting event since 1970 when I took my late father to Yankee Stadium to see a NFL game between the Giants and Redskins. My father almost became late sooner. We had "good" seats, and just about all the folks around us were routing for the same team. Didn't matter. Everytime the Giants did anything good (like scoring a first down) the guy behind us would beat my father over the head with a newspaper. I told him to cut it out. I told his friends to make him stop. I changed seats with my father. He changed seats with his friend. So I stood up all six foot two of me and informed him that if he did it one more time, I would remove his face. Fortunately an usher happened by at the same time, and had security remove the chap. As I said, that was the last time I went to a major sporting event; thirty three years ago. I guess it has gotten worse.
