Modern sports tap into our tribal instincts. When your hometown team wins, your clan has won, has survived.\u00a0Sports access\u00a0deep, primitive, powerful emotions.<\/p>\r\n

But that is no excuse to beat up a fan of a rival team.<\/p>\r\n

Yet that is exacty what\u00a0happened March\u00a031 in a horrendous incident at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. During the season opener between the Dodgers and their archrivals, the San Francisco Giants, a Giants\u00a0\u00a0fan dressed in that team’s “regalia” was attacked by two\u00a0animalistic Dodgers’\u00a0fans.<\/p>\r\n

The victim, 42-year-old Bryan Stow of Santa Cruz, Calif., sustained serious brain damage and was put in a medically induced coma by\u00a0doctors. Published reports said doctors had performed surgery to remove part of Stow’s\u00a0skull to relieve the\u00a0pressure on his brain,\u00a0which had swollen from his injuries.<\/p>\r\n

The two\u00a0sports savages that attacked Stow, a father of two, escaped.\u00a0Authorities are offering a\u00a0$100,000 award for any information about the attackers.<\/p>\r\n

Let’s hope these two cowards, who reportedly\u00a0attacked Stow from behind,\u00a0are identified,\u00a0apprehended, charged and convicted.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

And while they are in prison, we hope they are surrounded by Giants fans.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
