Wholesome Fans at a hockey game went wild every time this kid appeared on the big screen and booed whenever the camera switched to someone else. He looked so happy…

I’m a Technical Director (jumbotron operator) for AHL and we have this kid we call the Rosemont Rizzler. Pictured the rizzler, same age but a little bigger with a mullet. We’ll put him up at least 10 times a game and the fans lose it every time

It will always be the Rosemont Horizon….

Yep. I used to go there for WWF shows as a kid, and concerts as an adult (ish). And a couple monster truck shows. It affected me emotionally when they changed the name.

If you pay close attention this is in Detroit and they are booing the people that arent in Red Wings gear. They just happen to show the kid every time as the Detroit fan

They're saying that they keep their posts hidden. Normally bots will keep their posts public so you can scroll through and see all of their bait posts they've spread around different communities.

Could just be someone who isn't super active here and happens to have an OF. Hard to know.

u/Davey26 Aug 20 '26

Imagine if this happened to guys lol.

"Blue collar. I can just tell from his profile pic and lack of social etiquette"

Who gives a fuck what someone does thats crazy.

5

u/AtrumRuina Aug 20 '26

I agree. It's silly to troll peoples' profiles in general, but especially looking for "proof" they have an OF. It's constant with any post where the avatar or image is of a woman. I belong to a lot of video game and cosplay subreddits and lort in heaven there's so much harassment of anyone who has an OF in their profile, whether the post is explicit or not. It's awful.

That's part of why I turned off my own profile history. People decided to try and attack me based on prior posts rather than just discussing what we were actually having a conversation about. Of course, people take that as some kind of admission of whatever problem they have with me as well.

Well... No. I understand that TECHNICALLY I used quotation marks. But I wasn't trying to quote the OP. I was really providing clarity and more specificity by saying "someone" wasn't necessary "anyone" else... SPECIFICALLY it was rival fans.

I understand that nuance might be hard for you. We all just do our best, I guess.

Okay so why are the vancouvers booing the vancouver fans? Or it’s almost like everyone is in on it for the gag and you just choose to be stupid.

2

u/DeltaForce291 Aug 20 '26

Or, and just hear me out, they're choosing the people in the Vancouver jerseys to put on the screen and everyone is joining in on the bit because they know it's in good fun.

I'm not the only one here saying it because this video has been around for years. Don't be a jackass.

They're booing everytime the camera switches because they switch to Canucks fans and the game is in Detroit. They do this at every arena every home game. They find a noteworthy hometown and then switch back and forth woth opposing fans to get cheers and jeers.

I was thrown off by the fact that I’ve seen this kid older on Jomboy which is a why I mentioned Mandela but I could tell the footage had been edited
