People behaving badly are people behaving badly, regardless of whether or not they are Yankee fans. I am also sure that all of the people who started trouble were Yankee fans.DOT should have made provisions like the MTA to have more service. They failed miserably. And if SIRT didn't have additional service, that part of the MTA failed also. In crowded conditions, unforturnately people get anxious, tempers get hot and this sort of thing tends to happen. I've seen it at Penn Station when there are massive train delays and you didn't have people coming from a parade. Doesn't excuse the behavior however. In crowded conditions, it only takes a couple of idiots and trouble starts rolling. Many people had an enjoyable experience at the parade, however, there are always some drunken idiots (I saw three guys walking to an LIRR station at 6:30AM drinking beer) or hoodlums who spoil it for some people. Usually its kids (any complaints I heard from people this year were about teenagers behaving badly). As for not knowing the history of a team, this is no different than 86 when Met Fever took over and everybody was a Met fan and most couldn't even tell you who Buddy Harrelson was or when the Mets came into existence. |
