Kilted at NFL Cardinals Game
My brother and I went to the Cardinals Game last Saturday night in our kilts and Cardinals Jerseys (No digs on the cardinals needed, I know they stink, I still like them though) We've got to the game about 3-4 hours early so that we could do some tailgating and have some fun. My brother who is well on his way to becoming a Master Brewer (Recieved multiple gold,silver, and bronze metals for his homemade mead) brought a couple of homemade bottles of mead out with him.
When we first got there, we were getting pretty negative comments and stares from everyone, but we expected that, so it's ok. About about an hour or so of walking around and just talking to people, everyone started to warm up quite a bit.
We had front row seats in the Endzone, and at least 4-5 times during the game the cameraman was putting our pictures all over the big screen (I don't know if we were actually on the air at home, but we were on the screen at the game)
At one point during half time I went outside to have a cigarette and everyone out there was giving me the weird looks. When I finished my cigarette i started to walk back inside and someone yelled out "Nice Skirt you freak!" To which about 5 or 6 complete strangers yelled at that person "It's a freaking KILT, have some respect you idiot!"
This of course brought a big smile to my face, to have complete strangers sticking up for me in a place like that. I looked at them and thank them for their kinds words and just kept walking.
My brother and I had our picture taken later for the Game Program next week. I'll post a few pictures if they actually publish our pics.
I just wanted to share that story. Cheers!
