In my comedy SPILL: Bil Oil + Sex = Game On the owner of the
local football team sells the team to someone who will move it to Oklahoma City.
Fans are not pleased, even though it's been a losing team for years. This is
from the scene of the last game before the team is moved.
Game day Sunday,
unfortunately, was unseasonably warm, clear, dry and pleasant. The police were
hoping for a blizzard, maybe even give them cause to shut down the roads to the
stadium. But, no. God, showing Himself or Herself or Itself for the humorist
He, She, or It must be, provided weather that encouraged every rabid-mad fan to
get his, her or its sorry ass out to the stadium to get drunk at tailgate
parties and be prepared to riot.
Fans who couldn't afford tickets or even parking fees in the past now came in droves. Wiser season
ticket holders stayed away. Tailgating quickly got out of hand. Police, for
example, stopped one group playing tag football that was using a baby as the
ball, forward passes and everything.
Open seating to
the stadium quickly filled its 78,000 seats and another 10,000 fans were angry
outside that they wouldn't be let in.
The assembled mob
cheered the opposing team and booed when the Sharks were introduced. Ushers
knew things were not going to be pretty when some fans started ripping off
their plastic seats from their bolt mounts.
