Senseless!

Some of you may have heard about the SF Giants fan who was beaten after attending a Giants vs. Dodgers game in LA last week (a game that the Dodgers won). He was wearing clothing that supported the Giants While on the way to his vehicle after the game, he was hit in the head from behind by a fan of the Dodgers and beaten into unconsciousness. I have been to Giants vs. Dodgers games in LA and have been nervous to wear my Giants gear because dodgers fans are rowdy, loud, and sometimes scary. I think that because Chris is usually wearing his Dodger gear, people leave me alone. As fans, we should not have to fear for our lives because we support one team over another.

IT'S JUST A GAME!


I don't understand how someone could come up behind another person and injure them, for any reason!


Another reason I find it important to give help to this family (the victim has two young children), is because the Bryan is a paramedic for AMR (the same company that Chris works for). While Bryan works up in Northern California and we don't know him, it is still the same emergency services "family". We are going to give support and if possible, I ask that you give what you can as well - whether that be financial support for the family, spreading the word of this incident to help catch the suspects, or thoughts and prayers for the family.


Bryan is in a coma with major brain trauma at a hospital in LA. Please keep him and his young family in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery and that the police catch the people who did this senseless act.


Baseball should be fun, not dangerous.
