Who sided with the old man? Be honest if you did. Share why.

I have never caught a foul, so, does someone younger deserve to more than me?

Chances are as a worn out adult, my chances are far less.

Sounds like Devo's Team Old Guy

If I was sitting next to that kid, which I wouldn’t because those seats are ridiculously priced, and caught a puck I’d definitely give it to the kid. The old guy had too many $12 beers.

Wasn't even a puck catch. It was in the net and the young man put in the work to get it out. Old man was pissed off he was in his section and complaining about several things including an obstructed view. He snatched the puck up after doing nothingn but griping and the crowd around him heckled him and were chanting for the old man to let him have the puck.

So the players wife and an usher took the initiative to deliver a puck to the kid. Then the old man got even more surly and you see the end result.

Got picked up nationally.

Had a foul ball come my way once. My friend asked me why didn't I catch it? I replied, "and drop this $6 (at the time) beer?"

If you really want a puck they sell the warm up pucks every game.

Thanks for making it a race thing, Devo. I thought it was just because he was a bitchy asshole.

Assholes of every race exist, but white assholes are easiest to make fun of.

Just ask Karen.

to try and goad someone into assaulting him.
That's rather obvious when you watch videos of the incident.

... And the olde blokes's plan there DID NOT work.
So no lawsuit... Just videos of the fellow acting like
a shithouse rat with loutish behaviour.
