    The career of an athlete on the other team of that idiot’s favorite team?

    I can 100% see a crazed fan hitting a player of an opposing team. Security is necessary, and fans barging onto fields should be handled as quickly as possible.

      So you think athletes’ careers are worth more than the average person’s life. That’s pretty fucked up.

      It’s a baseball game. A random fan going after an extremely fit athlete, who has an entire team (and the other team) with fucking bats if they were really necessary is not in any danger. Literally none.

      Not to mention 99% of people running into the field is doing it for the thrill of running into the field in front of an audience.
