Now that I live relatively close to Philly, I see first hand how truly obnoxious Philly fans can be - the news is constantly filled with just bad, middle-child behavior (not just sports-related) - and each year it just gets worse.
I'm not an advocate for excessive force, and I am certainly not an advocate of force against minors - but I do think being tasered is hella better than being shot. I also think it sends a loud message that this behavior will not be rewarded with just a mere slap on the wrist and a big "ha-ha".
Sitting in a tank for the remainder of a game isn't necessarily going to dissuade someone from doing it again - they've already "achieved their goal". At the same time, I am not saying to tase the shit out of the whole stadium.
Maybe the fines aren't large enough, or maybe jail time needs to be imposed (if it isn't already, idk) - but I do think that they need to do something before sports events are viewed behind a gigantic iron gate, yanno?
(.... or worse, someone gets hurt again .... keeping Monica in mind.....)
