The idiot in the stands is a stain on the game. A lout who thinks his idle provocation of athletes is clever. A bonehead who gathers a few buddies and mocks and abuses. A dimwit who thinks misogynistic or racist jokes are hilarious.
He's a waste of a seat. The equivalent of a flat beer on a cold day. Just a bad taste.
