HammerTime Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Cardinals Fans Get Ugly In Clash With Ferguson Protesters Viedo is in the link - Here is a summary below. The video is very long. We start off with a bang. At about the 22-second mark, an old white Cardinals fan begins telling the protesters—all of whom appear to be black—that they need to get jobs. He looks right in the camera, proudly, and says, "That's right! If they'd be working, we wouldn't have this problem!" At about the 1:30 mark, the crowd of Cardinals fans begin drowning out the protesters' chants with a "Let's go Cardinals!" chant. Well, they could be saying worse things... At the 2:40 mark, they start saying much worse things. The "Let's go Cardinals!" chant has turned into a "Let's go Darren!" chant. Cool. At 8:10 one of the Cardinals fans calls one of the protesters a "crack head" and tells him he needs to go see a dentist. At 8:50 the "Let's go Cardinals" chant starts up again. At 9:05 one of the Cardinals fans starts telling one of the protesters that if he ever "saw him in the street" he would "look at the ground." They argue for a bit about who would and would not whip whose butt. At about 10:25 a small blonde lady starts yelling at the protesters: "We're the ones who gave all y'all the freedoms that you have!" At about 12:14 an older female Cardinals fan begins telling the man holding the camera, who claims he is a former Marine, that she doesn't believe he is a veteran. The conversation does not go well for her. At 14:54, the Cardinals fans start in on a very loud "USA! USA! USA!" chant. At 16:07, another Cardinals fan begins yelling at the protesters, telling them that they need to get jobs. At 16:43, a female Cardinals fan begins chanting "Africa! Africa! Africa!" at the protesters. At 17:10 a Cardinals fans tells the protesters that they need to remove their hats and pull up their pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 0 desire to travel to St. Louis area any time soon. It is a joke. From what I've read the majority of protestors are not even from Ferguson or the area and are there simply to incite and get on television. I am not watching the video or talking of this specific incident. Maybe it was a peaceful protest. The national guard needs to be prepared once the grand jury comes back with their decision.

Bengal Maniac Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 This is racist in all ways, but I don't believe it is representative of the fan base at large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Anyone who said anything racist is an idiot. Want that to be clear. It is funny though that the article insinuated that someone who has the nerve to wear a shirt supporting Officer Wilson is bad...um...are people that show support for someone they might believe did nothing wrong bad?

MentschTrachtGottLacht Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 This is racist in all ways, but I don't believe it is representative of the fan base at large. Cardinals' fans are, with exceptions to be sure, largely deplorable. Spend sone time reading the timeline of @bestfansstlouis on Twitter. They are disgusting.

nWo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Being one who was born in St. Louis I can tell you that the problem in Ferguson is not anything new. I can remember being a little boy by riding with my older brothers I was always told we had to be careful when we go through Ferguson. Now grouping all Cardinal fans in with a few idiots is not fair. I've been a Cardinal fan since 1967. I can state unequivocally that every fan base of every team has idiots as members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally got off at an exit there once. The main down town strip there looked like Baghdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
