When Keepin It Real goes wrong: Detroit Lions Edition

Last Sunday the Vikings played the Lions at Ford Field. The Lions lost (disappointing, but no surprise) and Adrian Peterson was stifled for most of the day, putting me in a fantasy football hole that I would need 207 yards by Frank Gore to climb out of (disappointing and shocking.)

However, even if the action on the field was boring, my fellow Michiganders decided to keep it lively with an exciting in-stands melee. Observe:



The description of what started the ruckus, from the guy who filmed it: "The two girls in front of us were drunk before the game started. They grabbed one of our signs and trashed it (real classy) because we're Vikings fans, and then spent most of the first half mocking us instead of watching the game because the Lions were ahead.

They left their seats and we thought they were gone for good but somehow they managed to buy even more beer and get back to their seats. They were spilling beer on themselves, the seats, and some of the other fans. After they spilled quite a bit of beer on the guys in the row below them, they turned around and told them to SIT DOWN. One girl didn't like that so she poured the rest of her beer on his head. Then I knew it was time to start the camera."


Well done, sir. Isn't technology grand?
