Re: Fandom Things - College Football

[(Anonymous)]

As I was reading, I was so confused by this "only for those same students to turn around and sabotage their own team", wondering how they could have any effect. Then reached "two penalties for bad fan behavior", and after a moment of intense wtf, remembered it was college sport. :P So TIL that I subconsciously have a strong sense of how rules should work in pro football, what counts as acceptable punishment and what doesn't. Huh.

Not sure if I should congratulate you on your pro football knowledge or offer my condolences!

Apparently, a similar situation actually happened at Bills vs. Dolphins a few years ago - the stadium was snowed in and the fans 'celebrated' by chucking snowballs at the opposing team. Referees threatened to penalize the home team if the pelting continued, but it turned out there was no rule that would justify that - and of course, some fans of the away team immediately started throwing snowballs at their own team in hopes it would give them an advantage. Football really is a ridiculous sport.
