MassHoles.

Boston fans are, year in and year out, the most classless douchebags in the entire country.

Class all the way....

Boston is such a shithole. Hopefully police can identify some of these douchebags on the video.

I used to work at GBLS...that really sucks...its a solid place with good people...I am a celtics fan but this is over the top even for Boston

Go Boston! That's the only way to celebrate!

like when my brother got married, and I was so happy I punched him in the face.

Go Boston douchebags. That's why I refuse to read anything Bill Simmons writes nowdays. It's just all homerisms about Boston teams.

1. it's the cops' fault. don't get in the way of fans who want to drink. those pigs always make things worse. there's a special place in hell for the police. every last one of them should die.

2. why is gbls spending 300K on their fuckin lobby? i'm never giving money to them ever again. crooked bastards.

"A national leader in poverty law, GBLS also undertakes representation and legal advocacy to address the root causes of poverty."

By spending $300,000 on a lobby to make the poor feel out of place? I hope they are just claiming it was that much to squeeze every dime out of the insurance.

11:15, shut up you idiot

I've never been to Boston, but all I've ever heard about the people is its a city with short-man syndrome. It sounds like hell to decent, chill people that like to go out without having to fight douchebags. My friend moved to Boston and got into a fight his first night there because he went to a "locals bar"

not to beat a dead horse, but man boston fans are d-bags

Boston fans suck - actually, any "fan" who acts like a lunatic because his team wins is a complete and utter loser for whom I would have no regret if he collapsed and died on the spot.

They have insurance, right? So what's the big deal?

Also, I agree with the previous commenters who question why a non-profit organization providing services to the poor is spending 300 large on its lobby, unless it hired poor people to do the labor.

boston fans are the worst part of a truly awful city.

but somehow philly fans are the worstest because they, like, once booed santa claus or something forty-five years ago.

What's the BIg Deal?

Are you a complete moron?

Boston sports fans. The same group that gave us that classless douche Bill Simmons.

Enough said.

11:24, how many rich laborers do you know?

Am I the only one who doesn't think that $300k is extraordinarily expensive for a lobby renovation in downtown Boston, including furniture? Sure, it sounds like a lot in absolute dollars, but I'm not exactly shocked that costs could get up there given the location.

11:31, don't try to use this as an opportunity to portray Philly fans is a less scummy light. You're still the bottom of the food chain because - just like Boston fans - you suffer from a massive and justified inferiority complex and - unlike Boston fans - your teams never win. Town full of Rocky wannabees who DID boo Santa Claus.

not from Boston, Philly or NYC - thank God

This thread is not lacking in hyperbole.

should be "IN a less scummy light"

11:45

Go fuck yourself, Boston.

11:31,

Perhaps you'd like to explain why it's a big deal rather than lob insults.

Is this or is this not covered by insurance?

$300k does not sound excessive.

Question - What kind of lunacy would be justifiable for Cubs fans if they won the WS?
Just throwing it out there. Discuss.

If only the police had used their "non-lethal weapons," like they did on that girl at fenway, this may have never happened.

11:48

So if its covered by insurance, then no one did anything wrong? The Boston fans are guiltless?

So if I decide that I despise my neighbor but know that he has fire insurance on his house, I am doing nothing reprehensible if I burn his house down while he's away on vacation?

11:32,

You're applying a false binary where none is suggested or appropriate.

My favorite is the comment that starts, "I've never been to Boston...."

Lived in boston for a few years after growing up on the west coast. I spent five years trying not to get in a fight every time I went to a bar. Whoever said it's a city of people with short-man complexes was right on.

11:52,

I'm not encouraging the behavior. I'm saying that the authorities will take whatever steps are possible to locate and deal with those responsible, but in the meantime the purpose of insurance is to mitigate the real-world negative impact of such damage to the covered party.

This is a perfect example of why I don't like sports or sports fans -- stupid, drunk, heterosexual men.

11:48, if you really think that some damage or harm being covered by insurance makes it not a big deal, then you have no understanding of how insurance -- or the world -- works.

(I'm not 11:31, but I support all the insults he directed at you).

"It sounds like hell to decent, chill people that like to go out without having to fight douchebags."

Funny, I always thought people who self-identified as "chill" were douchebags. Then again, I'm from Boston.

11:56,

If you allowed yourself to enjoy sports, that would start to change the demographic.

While $300K may be a lot for lobby renovations at a poverty law clinic, that kind of spending demonstrates respect for their clients' dignity. Their clients may be poor, but they shouldn't treated (and made to feel) that they're charity cases the minute they walk into the clinic. Moreover, my guess is that the renovated facilities also instilled some sort of psychological benefit for clients, i.e., confidence that the clinic has the resources and willingness to be zealous advocates on their behalf.

Too bad the boorish Celtics fans took it away from them. Hope the cops catch 'em.

11:59: Have you ever actually represented an indigent client? I can assure you that the state of the lobby is of no concern to the people you're dealing with.

Every time Boston wins a sports championship, people get trampled to death, shot to death by paint balls, cars are over turned and set on fire, and buildings are vandalized. So what. Thats what Bostonians do.

Wicked flagrant, Sully!!

i hate boston sports fans.

poor, no class, morons.

i once saw a red sox fan taunting a young girl at a yankees game bc she was wearing a yankees jersey. class all the way.

I have lived in several cities, but my time in Boston has been the worst. The sports fans here are atrocious, they do have "short man's syndrome," despite all of their recent championships in baseball, football and basketball. They make Philly fans look like lambs, and that is hard to do.

Next time you hear an obnoxious Red Sox fan, make sure you politely ask them this: "So, when did you guys become Yankees fans?"

It's not your fault.

11:56,

Then as I said, perhaps an explanation is in order. I asked what the big deal is, and I'm still waiting for someone to tell me, rather than simply assert that I don't know anything.

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass, and the idiots responsible need to be held accountable -- but there is a process in place to deal with things like this, right? So take care of the situation now, and see what can be learned from it in the future. What am I missing?

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

(Celtics fans break down in tears and hug the GBLS)

It's not your fault.

The same thing happens at soccer (sorry, "football") matches in England, but I'm sure many of you would chalk that up to zealous support for Manchester United.

12:05: Hilarious.

No one would chalk it up to zealous support -- just like in the States, the Brits chalk it up to idiocy. And the most idiotic Man U. supporters tend to be American.

Boston has as much personality as wet cardboard.

go see the love guru!

worst movie ever!

12:04, stfu. Do you not understand the concept of insurance? Do you not realize that everyone in some way pays when an insurance claim has to be paid out? Just STFU.

anyone who thinks 'zealous support' for a sports team that just won a major championship involves being drunk idiots throwing signs through windows shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

The Love Guru is to movies what Boston is to cities

Having lived in NYC, Philly and Boston; Philly fans are by far the worst. Yankee fans come in a close second followed by Boston fans. In the two years I've lived in Philly, I've heard things said to other fans just walking on the street that I did not know were humanly possible. There's something about Philly and S.Jersey that makes people start fights for no reason at all. Philly sucks.

OMG legal aid in Boston spent $300,000 on a lobby renovation! OMG that is so much! OMG poor people don't care what the lobby looks like! OMG the insurance will pay for it anyway! OMG when insurance companies pay out claims, we all benefit! OMG why is everyone so fucking offended all the time?

Yeah, Sully, wicked pissah ... stomp on his retahded fat head!

12:04, Yes insurance brings peace of mind to the insured. But one of the factors in the calculation of the premiums is incidents like this one so yes, in the long run, we all end up paying for this kind of retarded behavior.

And the presence of absence of insurance shouldn't matter in the public condemnation of Boston fans - they deserve it.

Sorry guys, I gotta see about a girl

It's about time Boston fans act as if they have won before and its not a big deal.
Speaking of which, guys in my HS got drunk and smashed legal service offices all the time after championships and it was no big deal.

12:11,

Thank you for the well-reasoned, intellectual nature of your post.

In response: hasn't the GBLS been paying insurance premiums already? Isn't this the point of insurance, and how it operates? You seem to think that everyone should continue to pay premiums but never file a claim. Sounds like a great deal for the insurance companies!

Again, I'm not saying this is wonderful -- I'm saying I don't see why it deserves much more attention than, "wow, these people are asshats. Anyway, back to that story about the severed human feet washing up in British Columbia..."

12:02, yes I have. I still do. Indeed, the state of the lobby is the least of their concerns, but, like I said, we want to treat them with dignity, as we do for our corporate clients.

Anyone who thinks $300k for commercial remodel is expensive has clearly never renvoated anything. An ample, clean waiting area with a space for clients' children is a really ideal situation for a legal services organization.

And Boston fans really suck.

12:04 -- I hear you. But NY fans' insults never really get too personal or confrontational, even if they sound very aggressive. Boston and Philly fans seem far more likely to start a fight.

And facts are facts -- since 1996, New York has seen 4 World Series wins, a Subway Series, 2 (or 3?) World Series losses, a Super Bowl win and a Super Bowl loss, and even some very good runs by the Knicks in the playoffs (seems so hard to believe that the Knicks were contenders in recent memory). Let's also add some of the most dramatic playoff game finishes in our lifetimes (the Boone HR against Boston; the walk-off HRs against Arizona in the WS), which sent NYC into euphoria. But with all those events, there's been virtually no violence, rioting or looting in NY.

Boston, on the other hand, has had problems at the end of every championship (win or lose), and sometimes during earlier playoff rounds too.

12:35 -- insurance premiums increase as a result of additional claims. Clearly, they should file the claim. But every act of stupidity like this committed by the Boston fans drives up insurance premiums for everyone, including GBLS.

If there was no negative consequence, then there would be little incentive for anyone to be careful. "Oh well, I can be as reckless as I want to be; insurance will cover it."

Never mind also that there will probably be some dispute between the bldg's insurer, the company's insurer, and possibly the city's insurer over coverage. That legal battle costs money, and that's really what drives up premiums.

Give it up.

- 11:56

Note to Marc Edelman: forget about the chance that kids might get trampled on the way to home run balls. Here's a better campaign: shut down all Boston sports teams.

OMG 12:16! I am offended at you oversimplification of the situation, as well as your overuse of OMG and !s. We're officially in a fight. I just hope you're not "working" in the cubicle next to mine.

12:46/11:56,

As I have repeatedly stated, I am not arguing that there will not, or should not, be a negative consequence. I'm simply saying I don't understand why some people seem to be getting bent out of shape. This is a huge annoyance for those involved, but I don't see how it's much more than a headache with some lingering effects. We're not talking Jeffery Dahmer here.

We used to smash in GBLS's windows all the time in high school and it was no big deal.

Big deal -- some drunk guy broke a window. Why is that a green light to denigrate the entire city of Boston? I've lived in Boston and New York, and both fans can be annoying and a little frightening at times.
12:39's comment ("NY fans' insults never really get too personal or confrontational") is completely untrue -- go to a game at Yankee Stadium wearing a Red Sox hat in the upper deck and see what happens.

There are tons of jackass fans across the country (and the world) and many of these jackass fans riot after championship victories or losses. Philly, Chicago, Houston, LA, London, and Berlin would have all reacted the same way. Why all the trashing of Boston? I agree that it's bad behavior, but it's certainly not unique to any one city.

1:10 -- I've been to many a Yankees game, in the upper deck and in the bleachers, and seen people with Red Sox and other teams' hats. Definitely plenty of taunting, and only once did I see someone's hat get taken and tossed. (And even then, I think he got it back eventually, although maybe a little moist with beer). The ribbing was good natured, and provided the target was willing to laugh a little and not get confrontational about some taunting, it all remained in good fun.

1:13 -- but why doesn't it happen in NY?

Big deal guy -- you make no sense. No one's comparing it to "Jeffrey Dahmer." I think we're putting it somewhere in the middle, between "Dahmer" and "no big deal." You're saying it's "no big deal," which is too far down the spectrum.

Destruction of property and offices is a big deal. It just is. You have destroyed property, and you have companies that can't operate fully until their front windows are replaced, their inventory is restocked, etc. In your world, this wouldn't have even made it into the newspaper.

Most gainfully employed people had to do something called work and so could not go to the parade (not that I would have wanted to). It was full of umployed, students, and disability scam artists....all of them drunk. It was white trash central in downtown Boston yesterday.

I can't see all the fuss about people that get paid millions to put a ball in a hoop. Sports...who cares.

If you ever disrespect my wife again chief, I'll end you.

12:39,

Yankee Stadium is in the Bronx. Rioting and looting would only improve the condition of the area.

after the giants won the superbowl, we all went into the street to celebrate (and we, like everyone else around, were drunk), but no one smashed windows or rioted.

boston sucks. bunch of no class massholes

I went to an Eagles/Tampa Bay playoff game several years ago (2002?). Drove up from DC and could not wait to get out of town after I witnessed the following:

Group of Bucs fans stuck in traffic trying to get out of the parking lot. They appeared sober and pretty aware of the fact that they should simply keep their heads down and get to safety before celebrating the big win. Not careful enough, I guess. Three Rocky wannabees spotted them and started rocking their car. Other Rockies joined in and pretty soon it appears that the car may be rolled. It's rolled and as the occupants scramble to get out, one of the Rockies throws something into the car that starts a fire. Due to post-game traffic, the fire department doesn't arrive for nearly 15 minutes. The Rockies have dispersed and the car is done. Philly fans are worse than anything in NY, Boston or Oakland, CA.

1:32--Oakland? Why would you stick that one in as having bad fans? Raiders fans just like to dress up and smoke weed in the stands, not start riots.

Terrible quoting. The correct quote is:

"If you ever disrespect my wife like that again, I will END you. You got that, chief?"

1:23: Maybe NY is special, full of enlightened sports fans who go to Jets games and scream at women to flash them. But that's no reason to single out Boston fans as the worst on the earth when they're just like fans across the nation and the world.

- 1:13

Boston to TTT!

I think we should all take a moment to remember that those people smashing windows were also Red Sox fans.

And I bet half of them barely followd the CEltics until they got good again.

1:38: And stab Chargers fans in San Diego?

Raider fans definitely deserve the bad rep they have.

Not real smart to wreck GBLS. Shouldn't bite the hand that will be defending you.

1:53--that was just one fan, could have happened anywhere. I take it you've never actually been to a Raider game.

FWIW -- the bars in that area are mostly one block over on Canal Street. GBLS is on Friend Street.

Which actually makes it worse, in a way.

1:13/1:51 -- if the best you can come up with is that some fans in New Jersey encourage some Jersey girls who willingly lift their shirts, then you really shouldn't have said anything at all. Nowhere near the same level as ransacking offices.

2:23: The larger point was the argument that "fans everywhere but NY riot, therefore Boston sucks" is not especially logically sound. If you want to praise NY, fine. If you want to trash Boston, fine. Just try to make arguments that make sense.

- 1:13

“Dozens of young New York Giants fans jumped on the hoods, trunks and tops of cars and buses along the parade route through lower Manhattan Tuesday, partly marring an otherwise joyous event designed to celebrate the football team's Super Bowl victory…Authorities said they arrested at least 30 people and charged them with criminal mischief.”

Source: Newsday 2/6/08

Yeah, NY is pure class...

1:18, I' ve been to a few Yankees/Sox games in the Toilet, and there have been numerous fights in the upper deck each time. Actually, there are a shocking number of fights. Some could even be called brawls. I spent most of those games watching a line of cops run around those narrow isles.

Give it up, 2:48. That's extremely minor for a gathering that big in a major city.

is anybody really that suprised that a bunch of bostonians acted like jerks, just one more time!!!
they are classless and the lowest of the low etc.....!!!!!

is anybody really that suprised that a bunch of bostonians acted like jerks, just one more time!!!
they are classless and the lowest of the low etc.....!!!!!

There's so much rage on this thread. Most of you sound like the type of people who would throw signs through a window, based on your level of hostility towards Boston, sports fans, the Irish, and short people. It's a shame those guys broke the window, but it's no excuse for class-based, ethnic, and regional putdowns.

1:53: That's biting. That would be almost as bad as if the Celtics PA announcer had to rush through announcing Doc Rivers' name because of the inevitable hearty boo from the crowd, right?

And let's not forget the season opener at Yankee Stadium in 2005 when Yankees fans booed Mariano Rivera (coming off a rare postseason failure) and gave a standing ovation to Jason Giambi (coming off the disclosure that he was a juicer). Nice priorities, Yankees fans.

2:06 - A season ticket holder convinced me to stay home and watch. He's told me some pretty insane anecdotes, and they've been corroborated by other Raider fans. So no, I haven't.

I worked at GBLS while I was in law school. I'm sorry to hear that this happened.

I think it's a mistake to say it's a shame that a free legal clinic got vandalized. The real shame is that it happened at all, regardless of to whom. It's not like a senseless mob was specifically targeting legal aid.

And all this stuff about Boston being worse than other places is a bunch of baloney. I've lived a lot of different places, and there are knuckleheads everywhere that would've done this exact thing.

2:55 nobody really has anything against all those people, but rather just toward the well deserving bostonians

2:56 not that giambi was in any way right, however, at least he has some balls to own up. this is more than what big (wonder how he got like that) papi could show. and maybe shilling as well who (even with his age) all of a sudden has a broken body!

2:50 -- you're easily shocked then. I've been to many, and I've seen fights, but they're not that common. And usually, it's cops running to take 1 jerk away, but not necessarily breaking up a fight. An important question, though, is whose fault was it? Do you have any idea how those "fights" you saw from across the stadium started? Clearly, there is a lot of taunting. But in every instance where I've seen the taunting escalate to more tension, it's because the target's response was beligerent and inflammatory.

Not saying the target has to just take it, but if your response is good-natured, you're fine. If you choose to provoke, you're asking for a fight. This is the case at sporting events the world over.

I don't get it. Why did they smash up the Gay, Bisexual & Lesbian Society of Greater Boston? Every Boston sports fan is a member by definition.

3:03, you're an idiot. Look at a picture of Big Papi in shorts and a t-shirt sometime. Look at a picture of Giambi back in the day. And did he "own up"? He gave a vague apology without saying what he was apologizing for. What an admirable guy.

You have no evidence on Papi. And I have no idea what your point is about Schilling. Are you saying that because he's broken down as a 41 year old that's evidence he's a juicer? Really?

that is exactly my point on shilling. he was ok even with advancement of age until he had to stop roiding.
papi is (was) of course on the juice, look at his numbers this year

3:03(2): I'm not easily shocked. But I'm talking 10+ fights in my area alone, some (though only rarely) involving 8-10 people. Of course there are others where you hear the roar of the crowd from across the stadium and spot the fight that way - those are fun. Maybe the few games I've gone to have been particularly violent, but I kind of doubt it.

And are you blaming fights on the "target"? How can you say that the "target's" response is "beligerent and inflammatory" without looking at the INSTIGATOR? Obviously it takes two to tango, but if you are saying that the "target" is more to blame than the instigator, you're crazy. And my point is that 1:10 is right. If I understand you, you're basically agreeing.

3:17: He's coming off offseason knee surgery, you idiot. His numbers haven't dropped off in the post-testing ERA. Track Papi's numbers against Giambis. Notice anything? Papis are great, Giambi's suck immediately after they start testing for real. Look at last year. Papi's OPS was the best of his career. How was Giambi? Terrible.

Also, remember when Giambi lost all that weight? Do you remember a similar loss from Papi? No, you don't. You know why?

Well, I threw a street sign through their front window. How do you like them apples?

Isn't "fan" short for fanatic? Seems about right.

Ibid, your honah!

I nominate 3:17 for worst logic of the year.

Boston sucks. I would take Boston over any city in Texas though.

One guy did the smashing maybe, but i think most of the crowd cheered

Give it up 2:52, there were 22 arrests after the Celtics game. "That's extremely minor for a gathering that big in a major city."

5:46 -- assuming your number is correct, it doesn't tell us much. Boston also saw significant property damage. (See video and article above). Big difference between breaking stuff, and jumping around on cars (which happens just about everywhere). Also, this year's Boston incidents are relatively minor compared to other years. (See UMass fires and car-flipping, etc., from prior years).

Also, Boston is hardly a "major city." A "sizable town" is more like it.

This is probably not a Boston-only situation. Fans in other cities act like assholes when their teams win also. However, the attitude I see here regarding spending $300k on a building renovation is a little disappointing. I thought this was a website for lawyers, and in law school I was taught to reason and think. Consider this, the job was more than likely a union job, meaning they had to pay living wages to the men and women who did the work. These jobs pay anywhere from $30 to $40 an hour and the unions mandate how many workers are needed. They do good work, but it takes a serious investment to get the job done.

Bringing the building up to code and buying the glass and fixtures would also require a rather large capital outlay. Think about what goes into the job before you decide they have spent too much on it.

Also, think out the comments about how GBLS spent too much on a lobby for poor people. Those comments are beneath the dignity of the legal profession. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

white boys that fall in love with big black men that play sports are semi-gay. one time in college i was at a bar the school quarterback got drunk and started trying to fight people. little white boys from everywhere came out of the woodwork to hold him back he didn't hit anyone because "he had a future" . . . pathetic

Drunken fans generally are a problem. But GBLS, an organization I respect, seems to have overreacted. i mean, they rent the space so the windows would be the responsibility of the landlord. I can't see how much lobby damage could have been accomplished -- aside from the mess of glass.

bring me two of every animal

No one is saying GBLS shouldn't pay living wages to the workers who constructed the lobby. The issue is whether the selection of the materials and furnishings was a bit "rich." And I find the comments about creating a nice environment for poor people to be off the mark, as well. The question isn't how clients feel in the environment, but whether the organization's funds would have been better spent on activities that would directly benefit those clients.

all these people complainin about how much GBLS spent is stupid. Do you know how much it costs to renovate a commercial building? It's a lot. Little hole in the wall coffee shops cost like $150-200k to build and furnish. Construction workers get paid alot. Everybody gets their pound of flesh. $300,000 is a bargain for renovating a professional-type office.

Lawyers are so disconnected from reality its ridiculous. They just need to convince themselves that the $160k they make makes them better than others.

I live in Boston. I've lived here for three years. I have to agree with all the commenters re: short man syndrome, Massholes, drunken fans, etc. Please God get me out of this city.

Instead of being snarky, you could donate to GBLS. I'm sure they'd could use the legal community support. I know I wouldn't want to show up at my 2L internship and find the office boarded up. That would just suck.

806 was teh lulz...thx

C'mon, they're just 'passionate' about their sports teams.

Sure Boston and Philly fans will tear the joint up if they win [or if you happen to be wearing a jersey from another team], but at least they don't leave in the 7th inning just because their team is 2 runs behind [baseball comparisons used since I don't watch basketball]

actually, we dont know what philly fans would do if they won because philly never wins anything.

On behalf of Boston, we appreciate everyone's comments linking a few idiots' drunken actions to an entire city. We understand everyone's jealousy considering that Boston (a) is on the same biglaw pay scale as New "Yawk," (2) is cheaper to live in, (3) has more and better looking college women and is a less expensive, less pretentious and more fun social scene and (4) is dominating every major sport right now (come on Bruins, you're slacking). Add that to the fact that the city is much cleaner, less crime-ridden and on a whole better quality of life than in NYC, and we don't blame you one bit. Yes, we know the legal market is much more difficult to break into up here than NYC due to the wealth of top law schools, but you could always give it a try. Otherwise, please try to enjoy your $3000 studio apartment that reeks of city sewers and garbage and come up and visit at some point.

Also, I apologize to everyone who has been victimized by Boston roughnecks at city bars (apparently a big problem judging by this thread). It's not your fault that you have a big mouth, escalate fights, and then can't back it up (which we all know is a huge NYC trait). It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

4:36 -- thanks for your weak post, shorty. BTW, Boston has a significantly higher crime rate than NYC in every main category (and most of those rates are significantly higher in Boston). Enjoy! And thanks for playing.

Someone should kill those monkeys

Once again Boston fans prove they are the bigeest douchebags known to man.

You like apples?

I got her number.

How do you like them apples?
