Marine who lost legs in Afghanistan forced out of restaurant after cruel taunts from rival football fans | Mail Online

A U.S. Marine who lost both his legs in Afghanistan was forced to leave a Charlotte restaurant with his family after local football fans hurled vile abuse at them for wearing Dallas Cowboys jerseys.

Wow....you've got to be kidding me. I'd more than welcome a veteran in even if he's wearing full giants gear.

Normally I'd say something like "the guy might have been talking a lot of **** during the game and shouldn't be treated any differently", but after reading the article, it definitely doesn't look like that was the case. Especially that "don't use your wheelchair as a crutch" comment. Disgusting.

Giants maybe. Jets, NO WAY!... Seriously tho, anyone who fought for this country is welcome to wear anything in my home

Fans are out of control these days. It's really ruining the sport in terms of social settings. I don't watch games anywhere but my living room anymore because of this.

Just reading that article got my blood boiling. I wish I was there. I don't care how many of them there were, I would have went down swinging for him and his family.

The good thing about living in Jacksonville Beach is that there are so many different fans around here. Whenever I go to a bar to watch some pigskin, I'm watching it with fans from all over the country.

If there's a group of people that should be collectively praised and thanked for their sacrifice it's armed forces veterans. I would have thought that was a universal constant?

Disgusting, and no call for this sort of crap. It's one thing to have some good-natured rivalry. I have no problem with that, but this goes beyond the pale.

I took the liberty of posting a link to the article on my own FB wall to help spread the word.

I guess what torques me off the most is that the bar management asked THIS guy and his family to leave.

Some more so than others. CAR fans are not as bad as ATL fans, but it is difficult to bring your family to either game, and to explain some things to the kids. Your welcome to come here, promise you will have a blast.

I'm right there with you! this dude lost his legs for this country and this is how some people repay him, that guy can say patriots suck right to my face and i still wouldnt hate him. He deserves nothing but respect hes a big reason why we are able to watch these games free. i get the its the hometown bar and everything but if a marine who is with his family, show the guy respect. I hope jerry jones takes care of this guy which i bet he will. but i hope that bar gets shut down by some random health inspection and come to thing of it, there is going to be alot of former marines pissed, that bar is going to be ****ed when the word gets out.

the dumbass bears fan with the mocking katrina sign

This after reading the post about the Pats fans being the worst....Congratulations Carolina you just kicked that distinction up several notches!

We should all go out of our way to thank these young men and women for their service when possible.

This is kinda of shocking to read, because, Charoltte, like many cities in the south, is full of transplants, so rooting for the other team is the norm. I've been to Charlotte many times and had some great nights downtown, they have a bunch of bars and restaurants all located together in sort of an outside 3 level mall (Go to Dale Jrs' Place if you are ever there) . I think that place seems to be more of a local bar. The bahavior is distugsting!

Like the rest of you, what I can't understand is if even a few locals were being douches, why didn't the management, or the other patrons put a stop to it?

Wait, you'll see Jerry Jones will hear about this, and he will bring the guy and his family to Dallas for a game.

As infuriated as I am about the POS who berated this brave marine I'm just as angry at other Panther fans who did not punch the blowhard(s) in the face. That marine transcends EVERYTHING, people seriously need to get some perspective if they put an f'ing football team ahead of showing respect for a serviceman who almost died defending our nation.
