Taught him some respect.
Obviously at sporting events people are not only excited for the game, but often have a few (too many) to drink before the game even starts. So naturally things get a little rowdy, especially when everybody’s jacked up for kickoff as the pregame festivities wrap up.
But apparently this guy just couldn’t hold it together during those pregame festivities as an Australian rugby fan wouldn’t stop screaming during a moment of silence for fallen soldiers.
The wild scene, which has recently gone viral once again, went down at a match between the Brisbane Broncos and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium a couple of years ago.

But one fan apparently wouldn’t stop screaming during the solemn moment, with his screams echoing throughout the silent stadium as everybody else respectfully stood quiet.
According to a witness, it was after the minute of silence when a nearby fan decided to teach the guy a little respect – and deck him right in the face.
Video shows a fan from another team, reportedly a veteran himself, punching the obnoxious fan and sending him falling over the row of seats in front of him.

Both men were escorted out of the stadium, with a witness saying that the man who threw the punches was cheered as he left the stadium.
No charges were reportedly filed against the veteran, but the man who interrupted the minute of silence was fined $1,600 for obstructing police and disorderly conduct.
Bet he sits there quietly next time.
