This man has the patience of a saint when this woman gets up in his face:

[demmiblue]

Someone find me this man. I owe him a beer. Entire game this lady was chirping at him for CHEERING for the Patriots in “her” stadium. Absolute shit ending for NE & she’s up in his face. He stayed calm after seeing the worst loss ever. I know I wouldn’t. He deserves some love.

And he responded to the tweet:

I’d like to thank everyone for all the kind words . I’m the Patriots fan in the video , my name is Jerry Edmond and that was my first ever NFL game . I didn’t want to ruin my experience by retaliating towards that women so I kept my cool

1. Sorry, but

My inclination was to kick that aggressive idiot down the stairs. Intolerable.

I hope she has a job from which she is fired for behaving so disgracefully.

[brewens]

2. I'd love to see him get a big payday on TV. One of the late-night shows should have him on.

Can you imagine what that woman is like in her day-to-day life? I'd like to see her identified. What are the odds she can be found screaming at some school board or something like that?

If it was me, one flick of spit hits my face and she loses her girl privilege and would be eating some teeth. I have never so much as slapped a woman either and I have been tested.

[demmiblue]

3. Thank you Jerry for reaching out and hopping on an IG Live to talk about what happened. Pats Nation

Thank you Jerry for reaching out and hopping on an IG Live to talk about what happened. Pats Nation has your back. Let’s finish this season strong!

For added exposure and to house it all under one thread, here was my one on one Live with Jerry Edmonds. He just landed back from Vegas tonight. We talked about what led to that interaction and how he handled it.

4. I'll bet he's a progressive and a Democrat.

[marble falls]

23. Someone rattling around an old mansion in Florida, surrounded by several genetically ...

... damaged children pumping him full of drug fueled conspiracy, I bet. Someone needs to tell Florida Man that his tighty whiteys and flannel bathrobe need laundering.

[marble falls]

24. Did you see your Christmas gift?

[Rebl2]

56. They must not

have security in the nose bleed section. Actually thought at first that guy that grabbed her was security until I saw his shirt didn’t say security. How is it anyone thinks this is acceptable behavior.

[yardwork]

57. The guy who grabbed her is with her, and he had earlier been taunting the Black man.

They both harassed him throughout the game, apparently.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Growing up a Raider fan, this is NO WAY to behave towards another person.

I have been to some NFL games, sat next to a fan of the opposing team. NEVER had I berated that fan because their team did not play up to their potential.

Kudos to Jerry for keeping his cool. The woman in the video is a disgrace. Nuff said.

[mopinko]

7. i once went to a yankees/white sox game on my bday.

in aug, it was a shitty year, so the park was about 70% yankee fans. 2 solid rows behind us.
they were truly obnoxious, but no one said boo to us in our sox regalia. nor did they rub it in that they slaughtered us that day.

we’re so fucked.

[marble falls]

29. The Raider's fans played rough but in good spirit. They were fun after an expensive beer ...

... never went too far.

Back in the day, Cleveland and Pittsburgh had a lively rivalry. But it was fun with no mean spiritedness. The AFC-Central was a powerhouse.


I'm from Cleveland, and it was sad to hear of Franco Harris' passing. One talented gentleman. He sure was tough on the Brownies!

I still spit at the mention of Art Modell's name. The coward snuck out of town after midnight on a freaking charter bus when he moved the real Browns to Baltimore.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

33. I am from Cleveland too...

But grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area from January 1962 to January 1973. dad worked at Lockheed Missile and Space in Sunnyvale for those 10 years.

My late mother never forgave Franco Harris for that reception of what was surely an interception. She has been gone almost 10 years now. She loved her Raiders to the very end.

[marble falls]

37. I loved the Raider's too. And the Steelers, but especially the Brownies.

[RAB910]

6. Karens are everywhere

[yardwork]

8. As a white woman, seeing this makes me feel sick.

That woman is ugly to the core. To see her trashy, mean behavior - the ugliness and hatred she's expressing - while her target, a young Black man who stands quietly and keeps his composure... it's just horrible.

This is what too many white people refuse to acknowledge. The blatant, ugly, mean racism. I know it's not ALL white people, but every one of us is complicit if we don't start speaking up about it.

[LakeArenal]

46. I hear you, but not one of the surrounding fans did anything.

I would have asked security to remove her. Tickets are expensive. If I had been in front of her or behind her I would have been livid.

[yardwork]

55. Exactly. Nobody did anything.

[lonely bird]

9. Just more proof

That, no, sports does NOT bring “us” together. Tribalism on display.

[rubbersole]

30. Ever been to a regional little league baseball game?

Hatred on display for all the kids to see.

[Paladin]

39. Somewhere, there's genuine footage of a massive fight at a Little League game.

I saw it, years ago. The parents in the stands, just beating the shit out of one another---and the kids, out on the field, wordlessly and maturely watching their parents act like out-of-control schoolchildren. Profound, in so many ways; I hope those kids managed to outgrow the experience.

[iscooterliberally]

40. OMG. You just brought back a memory for me.

I was a little league umpire when I was about 16. I was working a game for some of the older kids but on the next field there was a t-ball game. The kid umpiring that game was only about 14. The two "coaches" on that field got into a knock down drag out fist fight in front of all the children. I had to stop my game and haul ass over there to break it up. The other ump was in tears and so were some of the kids. Here I was 16 trying to stop two grown men from fighting over a kid's t-ball game. This was way back in the late 70s. I never did that job again.

[niyad]

53. I once had the eye-opening experience of taking a child of friends to his game

when his parents could not. To say that I was stunned by the behaviour of some of the parents would be am understatement.

[rubbersole]

64. I coached little league for 4 years.

Arguably the best use of my time while the kids were still listening to their parents. The only part that was concerning was the behavior of 10% of the parents. How their kids didn't grow up to be serial killers I'll never know.

[LakeArenal]

47. I saw many threads talking about soccer fans in stadiums.

A lot of superiority on how that doesn’t happen here.

[lonely bird]

60. Yeah, we don't do that here

Unless some team wins a Super Bowl and then they burn the town down.

Hoomins, yeesh.

[nightwing1240]

10. A public place, the color of his skin and emboldened by TFG

If she is not a Magat she would fit right in with them.

To the young man, you did fantastic and he deserves much respect. As for her, if there is a hell I hope you burn there.

[Ray Bruns]

11. Ok internet, time to do your thing!

[MLAA]

13. Dear Santa,

Here is my Christmas list:

An unemployment form for the obnoxious woman and an all expense paid trip to the Super Bowl.

Thank you and hope you and Mrs Claus have a happy new year!

[usaf-vet]

15. She has obviously been infected with the trump45 brain worm. Once it invades the cranium it.....

...will continue to destroy one's ability ever again to have cogent thought.

It will totally disconnect the brain-to-speech connection creating a mindless stream of nothing intelligent from ever being spoken again.

She is doomed to be incoherent for the rest of her poisoned existence.

demmiblue: And I'm with you. You buy him the beer, and I will buy a chaser of his choice.

[NNadir]

16. K&R. I can't watch the video right now, but will do so.

[The Jungle 1]

17. I need to know how black men do that?????

How can any person have that amount of self control.
This is not a one off.
Is it fair to say the attacks are based in racism. I think the attackers are making the mental calculation that their behavior is OK because it is a black man. Remember slavery was only 157 years ago. That is a blink in time. It was yesterday.
I am guessing ugly girl had a few beers in her also.

[barbtries]

32. they want to live

they know what it takes. better than i do.

what's encouraging is the support he's getting now. I hope and expect that it's a comfort to him.

i really doubt she would have behaved that obnoxiously if he was White. I agree she was probably drunk, but she was a racist before she showed up to the game.

[live love laugh]

49. ✔️➕➕➕

[Lars39]

18. He had a good friend with him, too.

That woman was despicable.

[Joinfortmill]

19. That's not disrespect, that's ASSAULT.

20. Jeez,

it’s only fucking football-
it’s not like it was something important.

Assholes abound…

21. My beloved, progressive, liberal late husband

Almost killed a Phillies fan at Nats Stadium the last game he went to before he died. My son calmed him. After my son gave my husband’s eulogy, where he talked about how my husband was the kindest, smartest, most caring man ever, my son whispered, “I left out anything that had to do with being a sports psycho.”

[Paladin]

22. The Keeno quote is dead-bang perfect.

If Mr. Edmond had lost his composure with that evil woman, he would have been the story, from coast to coast. Well done, sir.

[rubbersole]

36. He was in the lion's den.

Being assaulted by a white woman. His only option would have been to try and get away from her. Not easy in a crowded stadium setting. Kudos to him.

[mnhtnbb]

25. When Brits use the term

"twat"--as in 'what a twat'--that is what they mean. It has nothing to do with genitalia and everything to do with obnoxious behavior.

[Bluethroughu]

28. I say this all the time, black people are usually the most patient people.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

31. Lotta bystanders in that video.

[inthewind21]

44. Exactly

And THAT is what emboldens these psychos. Zero consequence. If the black man pushes her away or slaps her off the feet, he'll likely be the one arrested or killed. And these assholes know that. Someone, anyone, around them should have stood up for him. I most certainly would have. And until we ALL start doing that, this bullshit will continue. One of my Trump loving neighbors a few years ago called the cops on the kid across the street from me. He locked his keys in his car and was trying to get in with a coat hanger. HE LIVED THERE! When the cops came I was in my garage getting him something better to use than a coat hanger. They told me a neighbor had called in a car theft in progress. They were grilling him hard. I went over had a discussion with the police. Funny thing, the neighbor never mentioned the middle aged white woman in her pajamas helping! I vouched for him and had some harsh words about the neighbors call and to the police for the assumption that he was stealing a car and not allowing him to even explain. I shutter to think what might have happened had I not been there that morning.

arms seeking attention from those nearby.

I was hoping she and presumably her husband took a long tumble over when they hugged rocking back and forth.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

59. Why wouldn't she? A pillar of white supremacy is protecting white women from Black men.

[zanana1]

34. Some people get violent when they're drunk.

It looks like she's had a few too many.

[Martin68]

38. Non-violence takes infinite patience, courage, and a deeply-held moral principles.

This man deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

[BumRushDaShow]

41. "We literally have no room for fuck ups in this society"

is EXACTLY right.

He and that child would have been dragged out of that stadium in handcuffs, given a "nickel ride", and would become yet another fucking statistic in an unconscionably long list of statistics.

[FakeNoose]

42. These entitled and racist Karens - God I hope they die off soon!

These angry white women who think it's perfectly OK to be publicly rude and despicable to black men, and the black men are powerless to answer them. This behavior isn't new, it's been happening for generations in America.

But MAGAts have been triggered now and they think this kind of behavior is acceptable in polite society. It's not and it never has been OK. The white husband is despicable too - the correct response would have been to grab her and take her out to the car. After apologizing to the man she screamed at.

[LakeArenal]

50. I wouldn't call a football game polite society but I agree with your point.

[kacekwl]

43. Hopefully she's drunk. She needs help either way.

Amazing restraint young man, amazing.

[Ferrets are Cool]

45. I was actually disgusted by some of the sports talk shows yesterday that were blowing this off as

fan exuberance. This is nothing less than assault, even if verbally. If the roles had been reversed, the man would probably been arrested.

[niyad]

65. Had he survived.

[LakeArenal]

51. I hope I get to see when they identify her.

She needs a stint inThe unemployment line.

[Dysfunctional]

52. Before the game begins at our local high schools,

the announcer explains to the people exactly how to act. Short version, bad manners will not be tolerated.

[marble falls]

54. Just saw the video. She assaulted him and needed arresting, badly. G*D bless that guy ...

... and the guy standing next to him

Robert Kraft invites Patriots fan to Gillette Stadium after viral video from Raiders game

New England fan Jerry Edmond was subject of a video that went viral after the Raiders game. Now, Patriots chairman and CEO is thanking him for representing the fanbase with class.

New England fan Jerry Edmond was taking in his first NFL game this weekend, but unfortunately, didn't get the warmest welcome at Allegiant Stadium.

For Week 16 at Gillette Stadium, the team and Robert Kraft hope to make his second Patriots game a better experience.

...

The Patriots chairman and CEO called Edmond personally on Wednesday, inviting him to Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edmond accepted the invitation, and will receive a customized jersey and pregame field passes to take in warmups -- certainly a better view than the one he had in Vegas.

You never know who's watching, but the Patriots wanted to thank Edmond for the way he represented the New England fan base with class and composure on the road in Las Vegas.

63. P.S. This is how you fan (from the comments):

I hate to see that, thank God I was next to some great Raider fans.. we had a blast despite the outcome for me..

[niyad]

66. Not a fan of ANY sports here, so I fail to grasp the emotional involvement at

any level. That being said, had I actually been in that stadium and witness to that woman's nutso behaviour, I certainly would have intervened. Would have been entertaining, to me at least, to watch her try to take on a cranky, old, don't-give-a-shit white woman and her VERY heavy purse.

Note to self: really MUST buy one of those little airhorns at the dollar store. Find room in my ourse somehow.

[Oneironaut]

67. That video is actually shortened to the end!

There’s a longer version on Reddit. She was literally screaming at him, pushing him, getting in his face, posturing, etc. for over 5 minutes! Just constantly!

This man has reached patience levels that would make a Buddhist monk blush!

[ZonkerHarris]

68. His having that jersey was just her excuse to harrass him. We know why she did it.
