All I see is two bitches and Don Zimmer.

But Zimmer goes down like this:

I guess no one had any Love in that Set.
 
Fuck the old guy. He started it first. It was a full-on physical assault on what is essentially an insult. You do not attack someone just because he says something that you don't like.
 
The young guy doesn't have any room to sit and swear during the match, but the father and daughter took it waaay too far. That's assault for goodness sakes.
 
Dude may have been being rude or whatever, but the lady and old man immediately took it too far when they decided it was alright to get physical. I actually gotta commend the dude for keeping his calm after the first hit.

Why did it take security so long to intervene? They should have been in there seconds after it got physical.
It would probably be better if security acts BEFORE things get physical :lol

I watched the whole thing, and without seeing the begining, the guy did nothing wrong. The woman slapped him and he took it like a man, he then sits down and gramps attacked him.
Yeah that's bullshit. Fuck that piece of shit in the crowd crying to get him kicked out and fuck those guys jumping on him after the woman and old man attacked him.

Security did the right thing by listening to his side instead of acting like a bunch of white knight idiots. Where were they at the whole time though?
 
"The cops had him up against the wall," an Open security guard said yesterday. "He was drunk. ... He looked like he was going to cry."

man this sucks for him.

he got in trouble and they hit first?
 
"GET HIM THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! GET SECURITY AND GET HIM THE FUCK YOU OF HERE!"

It's painful watching the crowd react in such outrage when the younger man was clearly acting in self defense. Especially when people actually ran at the guy after shoving the woman back -- who was attacking him -- and looked like they were about to gang-pummel him to death.
 
To be fair, he shouldn't have been swearing it up if the woman is to be believed. But she lost any credibility when she touched him. Go. Get. Security.
 
Only in America. I thought tennis matches were supposed to be chill. Whatever though, they're all idiots but the woman and fogey took it way too far.

YES! I love how after all that shit goes down everyone starts saying 'fuck.' I wonder if the woman slapped them and the old dude tried to fight them. :lol

White knight rush at the end.
 
Wow, that guy took the slap and didn't hit that idiot back, props for that.

If she got slapped back I bet she'd cry to make an even bigger scene.

And that old fart goes in trying to hit him and ends up taking out a couple of people in the row in front of them - don't start shit you can't handle, gramps.

Don't know how it started, but those two were in the wrong for sure for making it physical, and he didn't even hit back, hell he even sat back down before ol' bowling ball went at him.

I mean, he was an ass, but those two topped him for sure.
 
The guy did NOTHING wrong, at least from the point that the video starts. He never got physical even as the woman and the old guy were clearly trying to escalate things. The old guy was just so clumsy that he fell and they both went tumbling.

That's my opinion too.

Was the guy being a douche? Sure but he was only talking.

He never made it physical, even when OPEN HAND SLAPPED by the woman.

The old man and woman were completely wrong for not remaining civil.
 
Old people were definitely in the wrong here...

No sympathy for the young guy if he was a loud-mouth cursing fan.
that's why you notify security...instead of turning into trailer trash at a tennis event.

The crowd was yelling for security before the fight/push happened. Everyone knows that security takes its time whenever you need it. And if someone threw profanity at your daughter and called her an idiot, whatever, you might instinctively react even if its not the right thing to do.

So, you basically say that the old man is in the wrong, so no sympathy for the cussing guy... because?

I have been to many-a sports games with loud mouth cursing fans. I know the character and they can ruin a game.
 
What can a judge charged the young guy with? Disturbing the peace or what? People can't have a god damn verbal argument anymore? Can you get charged for started a verbal argument?

The fact is, 2 adults were having an argument. Woman then slaps man. Man takes it, yells some more. But the fact remains that after it was said and done HE SAT DOWN. Then here comes bitter old gramps to what is almost a surprise attack on the guy. The guy is already fucking sitting down. Guy defends himself, doesn't even look like he throws a punch, and they collapse during the struggle. Old man tumbles backwards harder because he's a fucking old man.

Then to top it off, those idiots start attacking the young guy.

I really hope this guy presses charges on these people. I don't like the idea that because I happen to be a young man, that any woman or old person feels they won't get in trouble by assulting me because of my age or gender.

And I have a brain twister for you. What if the young man was black?
 
Yea young guy should press charges on the old couple and anyone else he can identify that rushed him, and then he should sue the US Open for that ban. Justice.

And if I instinctively react by whipping the kids ass, I would be in the wrong.

No verbal bullshit excuses assault, I dont give a fuck who you are. The couple was in the wrong. Trust and believe had this situation been reversed people would have crucified that guy.

She slaps him and noone reacts. But the very fucking second....the very SECOND he raises an arm to defend himself the crowd went absolutely APESHIT.

Exactly. And I don't even think the guy was intending to throw a punch, but rather block the incoming bear attack coming from grampa.
 
He took that slap too well. Props to him for that. I don't care if you're a woman you can't lay your hands on someone like that. However, he did the right thing by laughing it off. If he touched her in any way that place would have fucking flipped on his ass.

And what the fuck was that old man doing? Sit the fuck down.

Not debating that because that what I said. Also, people saying he could sue the US Open may not work because they can throw him out just for excessive swearing. It's private property. I agree he has a good case for assault, but the article said both sides already agreed not to.

PS, is a woman's slap really assault today. really? has our skin turned that thin?

What the hell, didn't you read what I posted above. I said the guy instinctively reacted even if it was wrong.
Yea, but the no sympathy line kinda has the same feeling as "he deserved it".

Why should they be able to slap you?
 
does seem like the young guy was cursing up a storm next to the old couple, kind of ruining their evening. but old folks were in the wrong as soon as they started swinging. call security if you got a problem.

No black person in their right mind would argue with white people in a stadium full of white people?
 
After the old man falls backwards, I expect women to scream "OMG" and cover their mouths, but when you hear guys doing it. I'm thinking pussies.

Are you just playing devil's advocate out of boredom, Bob?

You're telling me you'd keep your composure with an open-handed slap to the face...that you'd really just stand there and take it whilst discussing how non-violent it was? :lol
 
*shrug* maybe the young guy was being a giant douchebag and deserved to get smacked in the face. Or maybe he wasn't. Either way everybody involved looks foolish.

But by the looks of it, the woman also was cursing up a shit storm to him as well, during the argument. Even though I think its totally fucking wrong after she slapped him, the dude sat down, and it would of been the end of that. Leave it to the old and (not so) wise fart to make it more than what is it. Even the fucking young guy had more composure then that old asshole.

I'm not saying it's not violent, I just don't think its cause to charge someone for assault. It might have been implied that it was earlier in the thread.
