It was no surprise to see some moron sprint onto Tropicana Field the other day during a Rays-Mariners game. Idiocy runs in cycles. We appear to be in one.
What was surprising, however, was that Fox, which was televising Tampa Bay-Seattle nationally, chose to show the whole incident, including the security gang-tackle. Wrong choice.
Getting maximum attention is why such “fans” do such things. It’s a look-at-me trade-off for an arrest and a take-down.
The only exception should be if a taser is used to subdue the trespasser. That’s a much tougher trade-off for fleeting fame — and a likely disincentive.
