The analogy with the football player works fine. [img]smile.gif[/img] It is not an exact match, but it isn't suppose to be. It should just convey the point. In fact, in American football 'EndZone' celebrations are banned because they are a distraction, they slow gameplay, and are occassionally embarrassing to those footing(no pun intended) the bill.
As I said in my last post, there are hooligans on all sides of the issue and these people obviously acted like hooligans.
As to the artist 'chatting' with the crowd during the concert, of course that is true, but
you have to know your audience. This is Linda Ronstadt, not Joni Mitchell or Neil Young.
Maybe people shouldn't be so thin skinned, and maybe Linda Ronstadt shouldn't wear her politics on her sleeve before a paying crowd who is interested in entertainment and not politics... or maybe.... BOTH.
