This guy right here, the one with "I am Darren Wilson" taped onto the back of his Cardinals jersey—an homage to the Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot an unarmed teenager named Mike Brown to death in August—was at the Cardinals game last night. He, along with many other Cardinals fans, clashed with a small group of protesters who want to see Wilson prosecuted. The guy in the Darren Wilson jersey wasn't even the worst part.

Watch the video - very disturbing

1. Wow, that's some ugly shit there. Shame on these racist assholes.

[MADem]

2. I suppose Number 23, whosoever he may be, might be pissed at the misappropriation of his uniform. nt

[cojoel]

5. That number used to belong to David Freese

He was traded to the Angels in the previous off-season, where he wore #6. That said, he is from St. Louis and probably would be pissed at the misappropriation of his former uniform for such a vile purpose.

16. It might have been a David Freese Jersey

But other people wore 23 over the years. It could have been one of these guys. Who in St. Louis doesn't have a Bob Repass jersey?

17. I would wear a Tatis jersey to a Dodgers game

But I wouldn't deface it like that.

3. Assholes

4. Racist baggers. eom

6. I couldn't watch the whole thing. I was happy to see the protesters and did not want

to see the people with no heart or displaying their ignorance.

I hope the protestors will keep this up, especially if there is a series here this year.

7. Was this guy there?

8. As a Cubs fan, I always knew there was something wrong with Cardinals fans. eom

[Gore1FL]

12. We are spoiled. n/t

[KamaAina]

9. At least the Cards won

thus pushing the despised Dodgers to the brink of elimination. The guy in the cube across from me (in San Jose!) has been awfully quiet today.

10. Excuse me?

Go Dodgers!

[Blue_Tires]

11. Racism from that bunch doesn't surprise me...

You just have to look at twitter...

And incidentally, St.L has had a pretty monochromatic roster the past couple of years...

[Gore1FL]

13. 30-35% minority is pretty monochromatic...

or approximately 1 or 2 players more monochromatic than the Royals

20. You've known me long enough to know I'm not a Royals fan

my avatar is for moral support...

And we can compare MLB rosters all night, but that doesn't magically erase that bullshit from Cards fans in that video

[Gore1FL]

22. Point. But I can find obnoxious shit done with someone wearing just about any sports logo.

It's unreasonable to denigrate an entire region because a douchebag went looking for trouble at a sporting event.

[nomorenomore08]

14. All the more reason to root against the Cards. Even if I weren't a Giants fan.

[MrMickeysMom]

15. What's the matter with Cardinal fans? Drunk and stupid? Sober and stupid?

Either way, these people need to trade the red shirts for brown.

[pintobean]

18. What's the matter with THESE Cardinal fans?

Don't judge millions of people on the actions of a few.

[MrMickeysMom]

19. Yes, okay… I realize that pinto bean...

It's not like I don't live near Pittsburgh and couldn't say the same thing about Steeler fans, cause they can be just as racist. And, while we're at it, I wonder which fan base is more racist? Moot point?

So, sorry, pintobean… present company excluded…

[pintobean]

21. I'd be willing to bet the protesters were Cards fans, too.

It's not like St. Louis doesn't have more than its fair share of racists, I just don't see the point of anyone trying to tie them in with baseball. Baseball fans come from every race and walk of life. St. Louis is a baseball town. It unifies, rather than divides, it's just that some assholes have to try to fuck everything up.

I didn't take your comment personally. I understand,and share, your frustration of the stupidity of this shit.

[Gore1FL]

23. +1 n/t

24. I'm not watching.. I can imagine.. Wonder how The Cardinal's Team feels about this? and the

Ferguson Protesters? Are they freaking Darren Wilson(kid killer), too?

thanks Rockafowler.
