We’ve all been there. We love our team so much that we travel cross country to support them, regardless of the road environment. But when the game actually comes, being stuck amongst the home fans is one of the worst, more alienating feelings imaginable.
Take this Atlanta Falcons fan in attendance for their game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. As the Falcons somewhat sputtered about in a 10-3 affair, the Fox broadcast camera caught him with a towel over his head while a raucous Lions crowd roared on a crucial early third down.
At the very least, at that specific moment, he did not appear to be having a good time. And we totally get it:

Our condolences to this guy, who probably spent a hefty penny even just traveling to Detroit. You’d hope his Falcons could at least play better and give him more joy in a hostile sports environment.

If there was somebody in a Matt Ryan jersey on his right, this would be one of the funniest crowd shots ever https://t.co/hcsLuKHsCZ

As someone who is usually an away fan, I feel his pain. 😄
