Introducing One Of The Worst Groups Of People On The Internet: Those Who Shame You For Your Seat Location At A Sporting Event

Yesterday, Billy Football and I took a trip to the Meadowlands for some Dolphins-Jets action on a Sunday afternoon. We figured it would be cool to put out some content with our teams facing off in "The Battle of the Green Couch," and had a good time (despite the Jets whomping the Dolphins).

Twitter is good for a lot of things, don't get me wrong. But whenever someone posts a picture or video from their seats while at a live sporting event, you will ALWAYS get people on the internet criticizing their view. 

Very clever! But you see, it's not just if you're sitting in the upper deck that you'll hear from the Twitter army. If it's the exact opposite and you happen to be in the first row on the 50-yard line, we would be "big ballers" and "high rollers."

A similar situation happened last December, when I went to the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden. A few of my buddies and I went to the Syracuse-Villanova game and the replies were full of nosebleed shamers. Sad!

Were they the greatest seats in the world? No. Did I care? Also no. Just fortunate to be in the building at these sporting events. I did a rant of this on a previous episode of Pardon My Take, where Mr. Cat brings up that yes, I deserved to be nosebleed shamed, but people are going to do that regardless of where you are sitting (2:00:30 mark):

I think the perfect spot to be to avoid any sort of shame at a sporting event is probably the middle level and middle row. What are you going to say there?! 

My new thing may just be going to the very last row of each stadium and arena I go to, take a pic, and see what the replies are like. Then, only those who are reading this blog will truly understand what is going on.
