Maybe it makes me a pacifist, but I never saw "I'm wearing a jersey representing my favorite team, and you're wearing the jersey of their rival team" as a good reason to fight.
Exchange a little trash talk, sure. But it's not like it's worth 7 extra points for the Chargers if I win a fight against a Broncos fan. If that's how it worked, I'd beat my brother, a Steelers fan, into a coma before kickoff on Sunday.
That didn't stop these people, though. The guy wearing the Elway jersey ... his face had a pretty rough afternoon. I like the Chargers fan who appear concerned about the guy better than the ones who attacked him.
Gracias, Busted Coverage.

You're a [profane] retard. It has nothing to do with Charger fan you [profane] retard. When was it typical? Where else did you see this? Did it happen every game? You are a dumb [profane]. You can talk about the two guys that did it but they are not the entire Charger fans you [profane] hole.

Their fans won't have as far to drive to make asses out of themselves.

Maybe fans like you shouldn't talk trash with players on the field. You as a fan that trash talk with River is also classless. In fact you are more classless then River sine you instigate the trash talk. Don't tell me someone else is classless when you start the trash talk and they responded.

I was at that game and after the first Bronco touchdown, an idiot "DRUNK" Bronco fan put his team hat right in my face actually touching my face and telling me to F-Off Chargers fan. I hadn't said a thing accept I was wearing my jersey. I was with my 11 year old nephew, but that didn't stop this beligerant fan from cussing the entire first quarter until security warned him he would be thrown out! His hat was hurled by me, about twelve rows down after putting it in my nephews face and yelling "This is a real team" Broncos fans have zero reasons to spout off about any other fans!

You are stupid to classify someone classless just because you started your trash talk and they responded. When fans like you make an A-of yourself, you think you are just having fun. When atheletes responded to your stupid trash talk, they are classless? I don't understand how that work? Just because they make millions and you make pennies doesn't mean they don't have any right to respond to your stupid comments or defend themself.
