Bare with me, but my friend Raheem told me about a recent date he had. This young lady at his job invited him to his first NHL hockey game (NY Rangers vs. Carolina Hurricanes). He's never been to a hockey game and she told him she would get the tickets that were priced around $270 a piece (he was thinking that was kinda pricey), so when she told him those were sold out, he was relieved. Unfortunately, for him she was able to get some for $310!
Now, she fell in love with hockey when she was in college at North Carolina State, and is a big Carolina Hurricanes' fan. So the day of the game she shows up wearing a Hurricane jersey and they walk to their seats in Madison Square Garden. The seats are great, but my boy noticed that he is the only black guy in his section and his is surrounded by drunk white guys with Rangers jerseys.
Oh, did I forget to tell you that she's white, and she kept jumping up and cheering when Carolina would score (he had to keep telling her, Tara sit down, sit down).
Fortunately, no incidents and he was able to enjoy the game, and they made it out in one piece...whew.
