Quote:And since when is standing during a game selfish? The person trying to make others conform to how he or she wants them to view the game would be the selfish. How do you know that someone isn't standing because it is more comfortable? You don't. That is all I am trying to say. When situations such as these are breached, then when and where does the authoritative peremptory end?
Yet that is exactly what those who choose to stand the entire game do. See how that works? It goes both ways. The difference in all of this is that the overwhelming majority of fans who attend these games choose to SIT for most of it. What you're not getting is what you are saying is the rights of the few should outweigh the rights of the many. That's why everything is going to hell these days. Every small group out there thinks their rights should be validated, even when it means infringing on the rights of the majority.

Now sit down, I can't see!!
Bears use Charin now...get with the times!
Can we all just agree that Alfie sucks.
Quote:The whole topic is about people standing the WHOLE game. Not during critical points ( or warranted, as you put it) in the game. You make it sound like it's all or nothing.
If you read what I replied to and not just reading snippets of the conversation then you would know that I NEVER brought up what is or isn't warranted. You will clearly see that I was replying to someone else using the word and defining situations that she felt were and were not "warranted." Just go back and re-read more closely please. To address talking in the movie theatre, I will again direct you to the point I already brought up consisting of said situation. I'll address it further in order to answer your question though. It is common knowledge that talking isn't an activity condoned at the movies, which is WHY I used just that particular place in juxtaposition to a football game, that you unfortunately overlooked or just flat out ignored.

I think that may be the one thing that could bring this board together...
Quote:Can we all just agree that Alfie sucks.
I think most on here would agree with that. The ones that don't...don't know him! :Thumbsup:
Quote:Bears use Charin now...get with the times!
Never heard of Charin. Sounds painful.
Quote:Standing up the whole game, for whatever reason, is making the people behind you conform to your wishes, not their own. How do you know that the person sitting behind you isn't sitting because it's more comfortable for them? You don't...
Pretty sure doing something without regards to others is the definition of selfish.
That's exactly why I would NEVER tell or ask someone to stand up or watch the game in downward doggy or any other such way.
Jags picked a bad season to start enforcing this seating thing considering the whole mantra is "Stand United".

I'll pass and continue to ignore. You've got to be trolling at this point.

And you chose to argue for the rights of those who chose to stand despite your MB name being "haveaseat" Irony abounds.

Hahaha. I actually laughed out loud when I read this. I chose that name cause I always say it for some stupid reason when a running back or whoever gets knocked over or stiff arms someone to the ground.

Yeah...I agree with you here!

You choose to sit, someone else stands. My condoning people's right to choose how to watch a football game does not in any sensible way equate to either selfishness nor trying to get others to conform. I'm saying the opposite. I am done with this topic now. Only you and two of your friends are arguing about this and refuse to see the logic and rationale in anything I am saying. I also didn't come here for immature name calling simply for being on board for the right to choose how to watch a football game.This is the post that broke the camel's back, as I cannot debate an issue with someone who doesn't understand how my point is COMPLETELY OPPOSITE to conforming. All I know is when I go to a game and if I feel like standing because of my spine surgery, or FOR ANY OTHER REASON, I most certainly WILL DO SO for however long as I feel like as well. Hopefully, you'll be sitting behind me. If so, I'll be sure to say hello and move as much out of your way as I possibly can after you politely ask me to. Perhaps then, you will see how your use of the word "selfish" over this topic, isn't valid to what I am saying.

Thank you. Ignorance is truly bliss. If you cannot debate a topic like a mature, informed adult, you should "pass and continue your ignorance." There isn't any credence to anything any of you have said to begin with, which has become a progressive thorn in my replies side.
Quote:Apparently it is fair, they didn't send out letters telling people to "just stand up", did they?
If you actually believe the front office is the authority on what is and isn't fair, then I think you may have other more pressing things to debate.
OK, is it safe to assume that this "Alfie" guy is biased, yet still runs a Jaguars related website? Is he anti-Jaguars?

I'm sorry you are easily confused, but no where did I suggest that they were the authority on all things fair, just in regards to this situation.
