Dumbass New Yorkers are calling security for the young guy to be thrown out. Other than probably being obnoxious he did nothing wrong. He kept his composure after the fat bitch slapped him, and he defended himself when the dumbass old guy attacked him.

Check out the guy sitting next to him...when him and the old man scuffle, he just gets up, walks a few rows up and sits down nonchalantly.

Should've given the old man, what is referred to in wrestling terms as the ol "butt drag"

This guy is going to be saved and have reason to press charges against both the woman and the old man for assault. They don't have any ground to stand on between these two videos.

That had to be a discussion about the meaning of "market value".

The same people who attend golf tournaments.

I've been wondering who this guy reminds me of all day and I just figured it out: The actor who plays Rocky's son in 'Rocky Balboa'

Would like to see what happened at the very beginning to bring about the yelling.

But from what I can see (which clearly isn't the whole story)...that bitch and the old guy had that coming.

Yeah, from the way other people were yelling, the kid must have been an ass, since it seemed like everyone wanted him gone. From reading a Yahoo sport blog, I got this
The New York Times reports that the altercation started pretty much as you'd expect: with the younger guy being loud, crude and obnoxious. No mention of alcohol was made in the Times piece, but it's not a huge leap to make. We've all seen those sorts of fans at games before.
As the story goes, the younger man was cursing and the woman told him to stop. Witnesses said he said something along the lines of "why don't you hit me if you don't like it" and, to his amazement, the woman did. (That's not in the clip above, but is shown in the clip at the bottom of this post). This video starts immediately after the initial hit, which is shown in the AP photo at the top of this post.
I did laugh my ass off at the old dude's attempt to take things into his own hands....and promptly getting owned.

Wow, this has to be the first time that the chatter agrees on something. Old guy got what he deserved and the bitch is lucky she didn't get it as well.

LOL... I loved the way the punk ass kid justified being a dickhead because he has money on the match. LOL... Kid deserved to have his ass kicked... too bad it didn't happen. Buying a ticket does not permit you to be an ass in public.... sorry, but it just doesn't.

I'm sure the young guy is a complete douchebag and deserves to get his ass kicked, but legally he's not at fault there.

Plus he gets some credit for not reacting when the woman hit him. There's a big difference between talking shit and starting a physical altercation.

Legally speaking.. I am sure somewhere in the fine print on the back of the ticket it says... No douchebags allowed that are a pain in the ass to nice polite tennis fans... LOL

Wow - I thought tennis matches were fairly quiet. How come it took security so long to get involved? Being one that hates foul language being used in a public place, I can sympathize with the girl & her father, but their behavior was way worse. On the video, I thought the old guy was tugging on his daughter's top to settle her down & get her out of the situation. LOL!

Looks like the three are banned for awhile and none of the parties are pressing charges.

But the kid understood the rules. In the video he specifically stated that he did not talk during points. The other two need to be charged for assault.

Actually, buying a ticket gives you the right to be fan. You are allowed to be vocal.

If they had a problem with it and couldn't resolve it by asking him to stop, they should have sought out secuirity.

If security asked him to stop then he would. If not, then he could leave.

THere is absolutely no reason to have your "ass" beat for being vocal at a sporting event.

You're like a freaking communist. No free speech! Yeah thats the world I wanna live in.
