WTF??? I hate stoopid people! AND I'm fairly stupid!
This is the fight I was talking about the other day. http://www.texanstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93906
For the record, the guy filming and narrating the event does not know all the lyrics to Get Back.

Don't know if this has been posted yet.
Was this one of our posters putting the beat down on the Reggie Bush fan?

Did the guy at :39 seconds throw a cardboard box? Also the little kid in the bottom left corner at :45 seconds was throwing punches too, kidney shots!
Couple of observations from the video.
1. If you notice it was just verbal until a guy in a Raiders Jersey shows up and then it gets physical. Coincidence I think not. (It looked like an Oakland Jersey at least)
2. The guy in the Andre jersey needs to go get a different jersey, because he disrespected AJ with that performance, AJ knows how to whip some azz, it has been well documented by CBS. He needs like a pink Mittens Jersey fighting like that.
3. Seems like that one girl was the real problem, they were holding her back early on, maybe Reggie Bush dumped her for Kim or something, cause she was all pissed off at the Reggie fan.
4. The guy in the Cush jersey is legit, he represented #56 well, as he came over and the sh*t came to a halt.
5. A Reggie Bush USC jersey? Really, why? Did I miss something, did we play the Dolphins in Preseason..........

Sorry
I missed it. I very seldom visit that forum. I feel like a trespasser being that I don't tailgate. Guess it's because I can't attend games.
Log on..clik Texans Talk .. clik NFL news .. clik NSZ and spend the rest of the day arguing and most often making a fool of myself. Sure is fun though.
Doesn't take much to amuse senile old people.
Anyone who wants to can quote me when the occasion is appropriate.

I read that they had all disappeared by the time security got their act together. The guy who made the video was supposedly the only one interviewed.
You can't blame security for this though! They simply cannot be everywhere, all the time. This was immaturity at it's best, displayed by people who should have known better. Embarrassing, to say the least!

Kinda sad this video went viral it was even on Good Morning America.

It looked like an Eagles game (just different jerseys).
I've never been to a home game but when I talk to people at away games they do talk about how nice people in Houston are to them at games.
It's rather embarrassing-now that it's all over the internet and T.V., this is how people will think of Texans fans. Great we'll be the new Eagles...

I was just a couple sections away from this. Saw the whole thing go down. It was interesting. And yes, Security didn't show up until like 5 minutes later. They should have been on top of that.
OzzO
.. and then?
So who were the 3 or so red shirt / kahkis behind the group? Target employees? I guess that was outside the realm of ushers duties.. "woah, can't get involved, but let me show you where your section and seat are"

From where I was sitting, I didn't see any security at all. Honestly, half of the gridiron endzone was standing up watching it. Idk if those ushers had security duties or not, but the fact is, no authority figures got involved.

Don't have any idea who the red shirt people are, or what they do. Security in my section wear yellow. When they have called for assistance, someone in green shows up. Maybe it's different in each level. IDK!

I was in the section next to that one looking upwards, and I could see three guys standing in the walkway behind the top row of seats, in what looked like security uniforms.
It seemed to me like they didn't really want to get in the middle of a melee.

If it was me, I wouldn't want to either. But it is their job. That is just my opinion.
I witness the entire incident. The ushers and security were completely helpless. The cops should have been there much quicker. It could have got out of hand and spread very quickly.
As for the thugs that caused all this trouble, I would recommend a life-time ban from Reliant Stadium.

Easy solution that will never happen: quit serving booze at these events.

But then people would have to drive home sober. Can't have that.

They come in sloppy from the parking lots. Dunno' how much that would help.

I have thought this every time I see a fight. If the seat owner is involved in the fight, kick them out for the season.
If the seat owner sold the tickets give them one and only one warning. If it happens again, revoke their tickets.

This is shaky ground to me Yank. A lot of fans sell tickets through the Texans ticket exchange. It's not fair to blame them for a strangers actions. NOW, if it's family/friends, then YES, give them a warning, but, that's debatable also. Fans should be held accountable for their OWN actions, not the PSL owner. JMO!
When Aaron messed up a couple years ago, even though it was not a fight, I punished him myself. He didn't return to another game that year. He was also told that was the only screwup he was allowed EVER! He ever gets that drunk at another game he will be watching from home, and he knows I mean it. I'm not taking a chance of losing my PSLs!!
Well, at least it would start to get out of their system and they wouldn't be continuously adding fuel to the fire.
I haven't seen the video, so can someone tell me what made this fight special? Newsworthy?
I've been to reliant a bunch of times for different events and I've seen a handful of fights or almost fights...
I think it would just be so much simpler to institute a national sports "May Not Attend List"
You go to one game and get picked up for something like fighting, you're banned for a year. Happens again, you're banned for life.
NFL, NBA, MLS, whatever. Security picks you up, swipes your ID, you get put into the system and thats that

Actually, it is in your PSL/season ticket holder agreement. You are responsible for how people in your seat act.
In fact, I think selling your tickets for profit also violates the agreement, yet the NFL has TicketExchange. Go figure.

That's my only issue with your post above. If you're going to tell people they have to be responsible for a stranger's conduct, then stop peddling ticket scalping services.

Hey, I don't make the rules or enforce them, just relaying them
(Ticketexchange is a huge contradiction since I am pretty sure the PSL agreement says you cannot sell your ticket for profit, 'cause how many face value tickets do you see on there?)

This is the dumbest quote I think I've ever read lol...no offense lol but what is the nfl gonna do? Put face recognition software cameras at ever entrance? No. Are they gonna post the people's mugshots at every entrance? No. There is no way to ban someone. My dad works security for the texans and he himself told me its impossible. On another note I'll be tagging along with him Sunday morning doing the bomb sweep with the bomb dogs. Should be pretty cool.

Well, considering people have been banned from pro sports stadiums, who sounds dumb now, no offense....

Lol one taken Ryan...you are correct they CAN ban you...but they really can't stop you from getting in...71,000 people in reliant...they have no way of checking every person to see if they've been banned is my point lol...for example let's say I get banned...I buy a ticket from you and I'm gonna get in

That is not a solution. People get boozed up before games any way. Also a lot of these fights stem from fans harrassing other fans of other teams in their stadiums or those opposite fans getting really disrespectful and obnoxious trying to gain attention to themselves. Not fair to the fans who have a beer or two and behave and enjoy the game, because of a few random fights that take place here and there. You're packing 70,000 people in a stadium together in small little seats. There are always going to be incidents at ball games, rodeos, and concerts with that many people packed in at a high intensity entertainment event. Getting trained security who can take care of these situations is the answer. I think most stadiums do a pretty good job for the most part other than in the parking lots. The parking lots seem to be where a lot more fights take place.
Society always punishes the majority for the actions of a minority of individuals.
And you are simply incorrect that it's not a solution. No alcohol for three+ hours when emotions are running high due to the nature of fans at sporting events?
BTW, I'm not necessarily advocating this course of action, but saying it's not a solution is simply incorrect.
My own take is to let adults make their own decisions in life and hold them accountable with the full force of the law when they get stupid with it.
In a sort of related story:
If HPD really wanted to "get tough on drunks", they would have some sobriety tests at the exits of the games.

You could also say the same for setting up bars. I bet it's a hell of a lot higher than 14%.
I don't know why I felt the need to point that out but I would be vehemently against any kind of sobriety checkpoint. Remember, I also do not drink alcohol like you.
Many police departments routinely establish sobriety points near bars, especially those "no tolerance weekends".
While I agree with you in principle, unfortunately we are losing almost 50,000 American citizens every year in alcohol induced accidents. Some folks cannot help being incorrigible detriments to society. Pathetic, really.

After working the nightclub scene almost daily for over 12 years in several cities, I would have to disagree with a real police presence being there in that manner. I believe I've seen more sobriety checkpoints in movies as opposed to in person.
That's a horrific number to hear. I'm glad I did not contribute to a statistic like that, as ashamed as I am about it, I have driven drunk myself back when I was younger.
