You can have passion, chirp, have fun banter, enjoy yourself at the event or game but there’s a line and it’s crossed so many times now,” she added.Paige Spiranac @PaigeSpiranacLINKI’m sadly not shocked by the fan behavior at the Ryder Cup because it’s become the norm at most sporting events and in my opinion it needs to change across all sports. I was at a football game recently and this man in front of me was disgustingly drunk, yelling the most vile shit to players and opposing fans in the stands, spilling his drink everywhere, wanting to fight people, and it completely ruined the experience for me and everyone around him. What was interesting was that his young (maybe 7 years old) nephew was right next to him listening to everything. At one point the kid started copying him and was yelling the same things and the family was laughing. This behavior is taught. I’m not saying you have to sit quietly. You can have passion, chirp, have fun banter, enjoy yourself at the event or game but there’s a line and it’s crossed so many times now.Team USA struggled with their game at the Ryder Cup 2025, and finally, the Europe team managed to retain its title in New York.Paige Spiranac congratulates the European team on winning Ryder CupSyndication: Akron Beacon Journal – Source: ImagnThe Europe team took the lead after the Friday game at the Ryder Cup and maintained their position even after the Sunday singles.
