Patriots Fan Reaches New Level of Assholery by Insulting Wife of Bears Player

-

New England Patriots fans are the worst. Don’t let anybody tell you different. The absolute worst. One would think they know how to act gracious and humble having been spoiled with almost 20 years of nonstop success courtesy of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Instead they keep finding new ways to sink to new lows each year.

They pull fire alarms in the dead of night to wake up an opposing team before a playoff game. They give the finger and throw beer on a player who just scored a touchdown. Now apparently they’ve added insulting the wife of an opposing player about her 10-month old baby.

Yeah, this happened. The wife of Chicago Bears long snapper Patrick Scales attended the game on Sunday like everybody else. She expected a fun day of football between two competitive teams. Then, as only they can, a Patriots fan made the atmosphere absolutely insufferable when she (yes SHE!) complained about her bringing her child to the game.

I was told today that babies don’t belong at games. I was screamed at today, and in our home stadium felt uncomfortable and like I shouldn’t be in the stands with my 10 month old, all thanks to the away team’s fan. Maybe she was right- most babies might not belong in stadiums with thousands of people, screaming fans, and a football game going on. But our babies, our babies do. I honestly stopped myself from saying all the things I wanted to say. I stopped myself and said a prayer for her that if she were in my shoes, or if her mother was in my shoes, that she’d want me to do what I was doing. I’d hope if her father was playing for the NFL, after busting his ass to get there, that her mother would let her be apart of the journey. That she’d, as their child, get to experience this really amazing blessing. That she’d have pictures to cherish the memories from some of the best times in her parents’ lives. She continued to mock me for the rest of the game, and after the game was over I was obviously flustered and overwhelmed. I was so upset that I had let someone’s opinion of how I’m raising my child have that much of an affect on me. It’s true, there aren’t many babies in stadiums, but to me #OurAvieJo will forever be by my side to experience this amazing journey we’re on. There’s no one else I want tied to my chest and spending game days with. You might not believe babies belong in stadiums, but the next time you see one please remember there’s probably a damn good reason they’re there- and usually it’s because the one who loves them most is wearing shoulder pads and a helmet and has worked years to play 60 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. Pat told me earlier this week that they had to write down their inspiration for working so hard, and he put Aveline. I would never, ever, take her being in the stands away from him. Because as much as I love having her with me, I know how much it means for him to be able to find her in the stands during the game. This is our way of life, and we’ll be attending games and embracing everything that comes with it for as long as God blesses us with this career.

Look, we get it. Sometimes babies can be a distraction when you’re trying to sleep on a plane or concentrate on a football game but openly saying something to the mother is simply horse malarky. Either that woman is not a mother herself or she’s a mother who believes herself so superior she can feel free to criticize others about it.

Newsflash, lady. Nobody has that right. The woman wanted to enjoy a football game watching her husband play and didn’t want to leave the baby at home alone with a sitter. There’s nothing wrong with that. You may think she was ruining the game, but the fact is people like you ruin so much more than that.
