Nobody wants to be that guy—but when the moment comes, what else can you do?

It’s unlikely this Arizona fan was in a bad mood because of the score: the Wildcats trounced UNLV 58-13 on Friday. No, he acted out of the iciness of his shriveled heart, knowing he would become a legend among all those who hate fun and despise whimsy.

Thank you, kind bro, for reminding us why we go to sporting events in the first place: to sit in the vicinity of unaccountable assholes.
