    I'd like to know what led up to that, cause in the video the guy in the gray shirt didn't do shit.

    Two plus minutes in each others' faces and no security attention until half of the men in the section came swarming in. Every person around them was watching them, so obviously it was more entertaining than the match.

    I fucking love NY so much.

    Don't see what the guy in the gray shirt did wrong @ all.

    It really seems unlikely that randomly after all that time the old guy went over and tried to choke him.. To me, the most likely scenario is that the old guy was trying to walk by to get security and the young guy mistook it for an attack.. IDK though

    Old guy's an idiot, woman's a fool, and the guy in the gray is a douche. That's about all there is here.

    The law says that no amount of verbal abuse justifies physical action. So the young guy could shoot his mouth off forever. The woman and the old guy who both hit him broke the law, and the young guy didn't.

    Looked pretty plain to me: Lady slapped him first, he took it on the chin, then old guy took a swing and got thrown down the aisle. You can even see a guy come in to his defense pointing at the old dude and lady as if to explain to security that the young guy from Jersey Shore didn't take the first swing ... that said the guy in the grey shirt is probably a major douche bag.

    Actually that's not true. There is something called "fighting words" that people cannot use. One also cannot incite others, and other boundries. There are also probably rules at the sporting event one has to adhere to when they purchase a ticket... No, he should have been thrown out.

    That guy is probably named Joey. He's about as New Yorker as they come.

    The gray shirt guy must have pissed a lot of people off, though, because most of the crowd wanted him out.

    Looked like the lady deserved a return slap there. She hit him hard. In his place, I'd have decked the bitch.

    Got out-debated so resorted to violence. Then after hubby gets tossed trying to defend her honor she apparently leaves him to die slowly in an off-camera aisle.

    it's amazing to me that people can choose sides in this when we don't know what caused the argument to start in the first place.

    I hate the fact that there was only outrage at the younger guy because he won the fight. If the old guy didn't want to get tossed, he shouldn't have started swinging.
