#5---PEOPLE WHO WEAR IRRELEVANT CLOTHING TO PROFESSIONAL SPORTING EVENTS.

Maybe it's just me, but one thing that IRKS me quite a bit is when people attend professional sporting events, ie: the Arizona Diamondbacks game, and wear completely irrelevant sports clothing. I stare at such folks, pondering the reasoning behind their wardrobe choice. What is it about the Diamondbacks game that made you think: "Well, by golly, this is the PERFECT time to pull on the ole' Dan Majerle jersey, we're going to a baseball game!"  Or the guy, who I have photographic proof of, who not only at some point PURCHASED a Jake Plummer jersey ala 1990's, but threw it on to go see the 2010 DBacks.  There IS a loophole in this, however.  If the jersey/clothing item is of a player that stayed with that team and retired with that team (ie: wearing a Walter Payton jersey to a Bears game), this is perfectly appropriate.  You MUST, however, only wear that jersey to a FOOTBALL game.....and NOT to a Bulls game.  So let's all get our Book of Etiquette for Professional Sporting Events book out and adhere to the rules a little better.  And as for your irrelevant hat, I'll let that one slide.  PLAY BALL!!
