Went to a hockey game tonight. We generally go to 20-25 games a year and I always wear a Preds jersey and a tOSU hat. There are some guys we've sat close to for a few years who occasionally hassle me about my hat. But we're talking to each other a lot so its all good natured. We know each other (remember, I'm in the middle of S-E-C country).
Tonight there was some jackass a few seats over who hollered over at me, "Did somebody pay you to wear that hat?" Understand, this was someone not in the group of people we normally interact with and someone I've never seen before. I initially ignored him. He then hollered the same question.
Jackass: Did somebody pay you to wear that hat?
Me: No, I'm proud of my alma mater.
Jackass: Go Blue
Me: You mean go cheaters?
Jackass: O-H-N-O
Me: C-H-E-A-T-E-R-S
Me: You need to read the history of your great Fielding Yost and find out why you were thrown out of the conference. You've always cheated.
Jackass: (Crickets)
Why would you harass a total stranger in a public setting for just wearing a hat? (I know. Rhetorical question.)
