wow. even more embarrassment for baltimore. hard to believe the entitlement generation can behave in such a primative fashion. or maybe... not so much.

What a bunch of morons.

Exactly what value are you adding by even including this video? What does this add to the discussion? Nothing. Everyone already knows that Preakness is huge testosterone-infused douchefest with some significant homoerotic undertones. End of story.

You kind of played yourself by even posting this piece of garbage. And please don't tell us you were just doing your job. The footage is anything but documentary quality. Clearly your intention was to exploit, not inform.

Congratulations - you've given a voice to a group of people that think fist-fighting is a good cardio workout.

Thanks for proofreading. It's been fixed.

Perfecto. The b staffer holds his nose in order to show himself to be above such base behavior as posting a "fight" video on the Internet -- WHILE posting a fight video on the Internet. Way to raise the level of debate. This ougtta get you your money's worth, cars.com and apartments.com. I'm looking up Zell's email right now..

YKCTR, You have been complaining about this site since it began. You make fun of it daily and post in almost every blog. If it is bad why do you read and post on it daily?

You either need to get a life or a job.

I think I need to change my name to YKCTR's amigo...

You take thousands of people, allow them to bring huge amounts of alcoholic beverage to an enclosed area, give them 4 hours with nothing much to do except drink, then add a sunny day with 70 degree weather and not a cloud in the sky. Mix all that up, and, would you expect anything less?

The Preakness infield has been an annual events for many years. It's easy to stop, simply shut it down. Obviously, Pimlico gets something from it. If you don't want cans of beer thrown at you, if you don't want your head cracked open, well, stay home.

Actually I just figured it out. I was thinking of a horrible, awful electronic noise-core group by the name of EQ8TR (pronounced 'eck-eight-or') that a friend of mine forced me to see at some VFW hall in high school. DAMN that was an obscure memory.

Yes this video is retarded, yes the infield at Preakness has been a hotbed for the rabble of the entire state of MD for well over four generations (but at $40 a ticket X40,000 heads? Yeah let's just shut it down, sure). Granted, canned beer is a relatively recent invention for throwing and the fighting, public defecation, fornication and mulletude is absolutely nothing new by any stretch of the imagination. BUT for some like Brian who went there for the first time it maybe came as a shock, so why wouldn't you want to comment on it?

Getting all internet ragey because it has been posted on a frigging blog (granted, a commercial one which many of you seem to think should for some reason be on par with Reuters) is a bit silly. Geez calm down.

holy crap they're cleaning up

Conflict breeds change and often inspires new heights of achievement.
