There's rivalry in sports and then there's stupidity when you put people at risk in order to stoke the flames of rivalry. Last night at Amalie Arena, stupidity made its presence known.
See, there's a rally flag passed around the arena bowl, fans help pass it along... It bridges enough people that those who don't want to be included don't have to touch the thing; about 200 are under the flag at the time it's being passed. I can imagine that fans of other teams don't want to participate in helping pass that flag along. I realize some will likely get annoyed.
