What's the Reason?
My first blog entry or should i say fanpost. Throughout the season I hope to blog a couple times a week.
Lets get to the problem or should i say dysfunction. The subject I am going to touch on doesn't make me made it makes me more confused if anything. My nephew went up to the cardinals camp last week (it probably happens every training camp) he was excited all week to get autographs from the players, which any 9 year old kid would be! He had waited at the gate for about 2 hours for his favorite player warner.
Practice gets out and here comes warner straight toward him and as he reaches his hand out to get an autograph a grown man pushes him aside to get warners autograph!!
I do not understand or even comprehend how this even happens? This incident did not happen once as warner keep going down the line many more grown men did this same thing. I think i should quite calling them grown men. What do you think?
Now i am sure there were many kids that received there autograph without these "characters" pushing them out of the way.
The fact that this sort of thing would happen is beyond me. Like i said it doesn't make me mad it just makes me shake my head and wonder what goes through these "characters" heads to have the disregard to do this.
Yes, I am sure there are circumstances where the dad is getting an autograph for his son...still weird to push a kid out of the way to get his son an autograph!?
To me personally I am 24 and I see drc who is a year younger I find it kind of weird I would be begging for his autograph? Thats just me.
I am not a ranter and raver just thought I would see what everyone else thought about these situations because i know some of you have wondered this same thing unless you are a "character" yourself.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Revenge of the Birds' (ROTB) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of ROTB's editors.

TIME TO TAKE ROIDS
AFTER YOU POP SOME ROIDS, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO KNOCK THOSE BULLIES ON THEIR BUTTS. THEN YOU CAN GET A PIECE OF THE GLORY.

$$$$
They are trying to acquire autographs to sell. Of course it happens. Is it right? No. However, the silver lining is that your nephew has learned that the real world will bitch slap your ass every chance it gets.

I've never seen it happen personally but I guess I'm not surprised
Some people don’t care about anyone else than themselves and knocking a kid out of the way to get an autograph is probably something that they don’t even think twice about. Sucks but that’s the world we live in.

Been happening for as long as I can remember.
I remember when I was 2 years old I would go with my mom to get autographs from the Phoenix Suns player and got pushed out of the way a few times by some people. That was 17 years ago for me and I am not surprised it’s still happening today. Just an unfortunate part of life when your trying to get an autograph.

I've seen it many times
I live up here in Flagstaff and have seen this happen every time I wait in line to get autographs. Last year though I saw a couple of the cardinals players not sign autographs for men who would do this. The players would still sign the kids stuff and then just keep making their way down the line. It was great!

Yeah I know that these things happen and that it is “life”.
Thats great that if the players see that happen they ignore the men!
