People who work, fair or not, put themselves in the firing line. If its okay for us to do this shit to an athlete, its okay for us to do this shit to (insert generic employee here), and you as well.

Couldn’t the fan have avoided the entire situation by, I don’t know, being a better person? How is that lesson lost on you?
Why are fans allowed to yell at players, and players aren’t allowed to yell back? It’s just yelling, who cares?
I miss the days when you Jags fans either just looked incredulous in gifs or...…

Cool comment! You should definitely understand the context though, which is not what you described. He had stuff thrown at him (which is never okay for a fan to do and not within their rights) BEFORE he ran at the crowd, after which he had more thrown at him.

Except you are completely fucking wrong about the timing and thus the oh-so-important context. He was heading out, got a beer thrown at him and then headed to the stands. Makes sense a niner fan would base his idiotic argument on something easily disproved.

So you’re a professional at something? Can I come and stand twenty feet above you and throw unidentified objects at you? I’ll wait until you’ve just been chewed out by your boss/customer.

Well when is it ever a right for a fan to verbally berate an athlete? You don’t hear fans at golf or tennis events berating athletes, but at football or basketball games it’s ok. Why is that? Is it the hue of the majority of participants?

You think that a black man is supposed to always be the bigger ban when being harassed by a white man?Ok. Cool cool.

the :20 mark on the video posted. Dude was running in the tunnel and something thrown at him, then he makes his way to the stands

Nope, that’s inaccurate. Are you lying, or just making up the sequence of events to suit yourself?

If you weren’t trying to excuse or justify the fan behavior, what was the point of bringing up “the context” in which stuff was thrown at Jefferson (which, as others have pointed out, you got wrong anyway, because he didn’t run over to the fans until after something was thrown at him first)?

What difference does his salary make? Your take is butt.

Your context is unimportant.

Let’s go easy on the new Jags fans.

The context does not at all excuse fans throwing shit at players. You don’t do that ever, even if a player is “acting like a child.” It seriously amazes me that you or anyone else would think that is ever an ok thing to do at a game.

No, shit got thrown at him as he was headed for the tunnel. That’s what caused him to deviate over to start yelling. Then more shit started getting thrown, leading him to try to climb the wall and go Artest on someone.

Nope, he was walking off when someone threw something at him and that is when he deviated from leaving the field.

I'm not a doctor, but as someone with a LOT of ear trouble (and not as a result of Q-tip use) I'd say you would know. You'd feel the pressure and/or your hearing would be affected.

Visit the doctor to verify.

Maybe you can cut it down to once a day and gradually wean yourself off. Alternatively try the cotton ball method with mineral oil, maybe it'll feel less weird.

so my question is this: I've been using q-tips all my life and part of me is now concerned that I have impacted my ear wax during that time. If I did...now what? how do I know?
