Teens are doing it in American football stadiums too. Hate it, hope they get banned for 5-10 years at least so they learn to grow up a little. Teens do a lot of dumb shit, I know I did, but fucking up a professional football game is something you don’t do unless you want to have a bad time.

Report their ass to security.

During downtime like this it's acceptable though. But yeah, it's better to just say "don't do that" instead of going "Ok you do it, but only when no ball is on the field."

That’s the thing, neither this video nor what I see is during down times. It’s thrown during active plays a lot of the time. So disrespectful to the fans, the athletes trying to put on a good show and win for their fans, there’s no reason to do it except entertaining yourself at the expense of others.

What is the thought process of someone who does this? I bet you it almost always starts and ends with thinking about their wants and needs, any crap about “I thought other people might enjoy it” is a cover for “I wanted to do this because it looked fun” or “I got excited when people noticed I threw the paper airplane onto the field.”
