There has been no other chanting. There has been booing when the speaker says "Hillary", but the Bernouts specifically yelled out "mic check!" to start the "No TPP" chant during Cummings and Cummings only.

There absolutely was chanting before, it actually happened. So then you're left with two possibilities- either they mic checked to make the chants more cohesive/louder, or they did it specifically to shout down Cummings. Again, if it's the latter, I completely agree that it is lovely and garbage, but I'm not making that assumption. In fact, there is chanting going on right now (Rep. Nita Lowey is speaking).

I'm glad that people other than the politicians are making their voices heard here, and I wish something similar had happened at the RNC. I like the idea of politics being less of perfectly packaged entertaining soundbites and more about people expressing their views on important issues.

I'm not sure Philly's history, but in NY after John Rocker dissed NYC the next time he was to pitch was designated "battery day" and everyone was given a battery upon entering Yankee Stadium. John Rocker did not pitch that day.

21-year-old Matthew Clemens was upset that a friend of his was ejected from a Phillies-Nationals game in April. Clemens and his friends were enjoying themselves at the ballgame, using profane language and spitting, sometimes hitting fans in front of them with phlegm. Off-duty Easton, Pa. police officer Michael Vangelo was at the game with his two daughters and their friend. After his daughter was hit with a loogie, Vangelo complained to security, who ejected Clemens' friend. Clemens protested the ejection the way he best knew how: by sticking his fingers down his throat and forcing himself to vomit on Vangelo and his family. He later pled guilty to simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment.
