rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 That's cool. I do find it kind of odd that was a story to begin with (the kid getting hazed). Slow news day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 That's the good thing about being a Wings fan in an away arena. We usually have enough supporters at the games so people have your back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Who the hell taunts a child. "Hey, 8 yr old. We don't take kindly to your types around here." Stan's response: And we don't take types like you kindly! Great act by JT and I'm wondering if TNSE will give the kid a free ticket for another Jets game (doubt it but who knows). Anyways making fun of opposing adult fans is fine because it's part of the outhouse/inhouse thing but kids and families should be off limits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Wow Winnipeg.....just unbelievable. I've NEVER seen anything like that at a Jets game EVER or basically anywhere in Winnipeg and especially not to a young kid likely there with his old man who paid the same amount for a ticket. I mean, when I went to the Wings/Jets game in November and was sporting both teams, I got made fun of pretty good, but i'm not a young kid and that was all in good fun, no outward hostility. Good for JT for being such an awesome professional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
