[n2doc]

A Cleveland Indians' fan was upset after being seated behind another fan with controversial tattoos during Sunday's game against the Blue Jay's .

Martin Gecovich took to social media to express his frustrations after being seated behind a man with two swastika's tattooed on his back.

That would just ruin the whole day for me. I hate Ohio (and all other state) Nazis.

1. Yeah.. me too. But what could one do about it?

Someone that proudly sports these tattoos is undoubtedly spoiling for a fight....

3. Yah, and with your kid there you really don't want to cause a disturbance.

Only option would be to leave, and tell a security guard about it when leaving. And write the team. But if someone comes in with a shirt on and then takes it off, they can get in easily.

10. Strike up a conversation with your son

"Jimmy, did you know there once was a man named Hitler who was evil personified?"

"No, Dad, what happened to him?"

11. You'd do that in earshot of this NeoNazi moron?

I'd surely have a long discussion with my son later (though if old enough he'd already have heard plenty on the subject of hate groups from me)... but I would not want to put either him or me at risk of violence or some misplaced legal action from this cretin.

2. republicans have a right to disfigure themselves

even if it is pissing on America to support the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino, and his campaign of hate (aka kristoFascist, Inc. totalitarianism).

4. "Controversial."

One could make the argument that this falls under MLB's code of conduct policy.

5. Teams aren't responsible for idiotic bigotry of fans

...tho some might disagree w/ that, considering the Washington football team and logo of Cleveland baseball team. But team can hardly infringe on free expression when it's not overtly disturbing to crowd in general.

Dad should look at it as excellent opportunity to discuss the hateful nature of bigotry the tats represent. But later, at home, after the game.

6. Funny, though, teams can toss fans for wearing the 'wrong' t-shirt

7. Back in my day, we would piss off the older folks by wearing a United

States flag sown on pants bottoms. Let everyone enjoy the game, including you and your son.

8. should have to wear a shirt in the stadium.

9. Nothing a can of spray paint couldn't fix.

We've got programs in town offering free tattoo removal to people escaping gang life.

I wonder if this guy would assault me if I suggested that.
