There are differences. MLB spectators PAY to spectate. MLB is a for-profit venture. I believe they have more of an expectation of safety, where large profits are at stake.
I believe in survival of the fittest (WITHOUT stepping on anyone else's toes, or infringing on their rights). I have my thresholds for what I consider safe, others have theirs. I prefer we not legislate safety, for fear of living a completely vanilla, mundane existance in a world overpopulated with non-thinkers.
