I heard it a few times but had no idea what the insertions were (can I use that word hey hey?). I got “enlightened” by the young lady seated four seats down at the 2014 Florida game. She was the stereotype cupcake (I’m not saying what she was or wasn’t, I said stereotype). Think Petrino’s motorcycle babe, who looked the stereotype I’m talking about.
I’m ex-military and my Dad is a retired E-9 Vietnam vet so it’s almost impossible to shock me profanity wise. I kind of chuckled at it, but it strikes me as a tad bit contrary to all that emphasis a vocal segment of our fan base places on “class” (whatever that vacancy is supposed to mean).
I took my 18-year old who isn’t into football, and he saw something more problematic than “Dixieland Delight” - a fight between a white guy & black guy in the stands about ten rows behind us. I’m not sure what happened exactly but those two wound up hugging. The cops escorted the white guy out and let the black guy stay....and then he made a threatening move towards the cop, and he got some iron bracelets and an escort as well (note: not to get into a thing but all the cops were black - since some will no doubt wonder).
Him seeing that bothers me more than DD and a word he’s no doubt heard on movies, particularly as he likes “Full Metal Jacket.”
We were at a Red Sox-A’s game in Oakland televised on ESPN when he was five. Controversial call and about 50 water bottles came flying out of my section onto the field. Folks on the level below us were getting hit by folks with poor aim. Most of the fans in our section were pointing out the perps to security. I was far more terrified there than about a word in DD.
Maybe it’s me, but I’m one of those who thinks making things a bigger issue causes the old “forbidden fruit” mentality.

“Wow, I’ve gotta see this!”
