I went to the fight, and an Arena Football game broke out.: It's not the Malice in Auburn Hills, but it's still pretty ridiculous.
My one question is this. Is this a big story because of the fight or because it was a woman knocked onto the field?

I can't get the video to work, but it looks to me like the woman just fell over the dasher boards on her own. People fighting over an Arena League football ... what is this world coming to?

"The way to stop something like this is by setting the precedent of prosecution," Of course, the other way to stop it is by not being a jackass.

The first few pictures show her trying to grab 1 of the guys hands (stupid on her part). When she falls it's funny she appears to be trying to hold some man back that looks like her husband, then she falls, and the guy looks at her, then continues arguing with the other guy instead of jumping down to help her. Hope it wasn't her husband or he's going to be on the couch :-)

This led the news of the weird down here. A pair of younger guys are fighting with quite a few middle-aged fans. You see one of the pair holding up his hands for most of the pics. He was most concerned with not spilling his beer. The main fight isn't visible in those pics. The other younger fan and a middle-aged man in a red shirt. The woman gets knocked over the wall by the guy in the red shirt. He knocks into her when he is decked by the louder young fan. As some rush to the woman -- the cop finally gets the two younger guys out of the area. But not before one of the fans -- who had been three rows back screaming the whole time -- jumps forward to throw one last rabbit punch at the physical younger fan. I should have given them all names. And everyone knows Florida doesn't suck. We blow. But thanks for trying!

Hope it wasn't her husband or he's going to be on the couch bdaddy obviously either is not married or not married long enough to know that it was indeed long suffering married behavior (on the guys part). He will eventually get the couch, once he has his golf clubs surgically removed from his ass.

The best part of the video is the guy in the black t-shirt falling over, then getting pulled out but not spilling his beer. Then getting pissed when someone tries to take the beer out of his hand. Well, maybe the chick falling on the field is the best part, but the beer guy is a close second.
