Not a football question but the questioning was more along the lines of sports fans.
My wife and her friendgirls make an overnight road trip once or twice a year to the Superdome. She is a self-professed Broncos fan and does not care for the Saints. It is just her friends and her getting together, hitting Bourbon Street and catching a game.
She called me during a Steelers/Saints game more than several years back. My wife has a nasty habit of jokingly picking at people (I claim zero responsibility for it
). She preceded to tell me she had left where her friends were seated to sit among a group of Pittsburgh fans. I think they were curious why she was wearing Broncos gear and called her over to an empty seat. Anyway, she says New Orleans started a late rally and the Steelers fans were getting agitated, so she started jabbing at them. She laughed about how pissed off some of them were with her and giggled walking back to her friends. They laughed too when she told them what happened.
I told her I was thankful. She asked why. I said it was probably a good thing the Saints were playing the other Pennsylvania team. She was confused and I pointed out that she might have done the same thing among some Eagles fans. She laughed and said nothing would have happened and that "People are people."
I waited until she got back home and explained exactly why some Eagles fans should not always be considered as just 'people'.
Sounds like my wife.
