VIDEO: Cocky Astros Fan Banging Trash Can at Spring Training Proves They Learned Nothing
By Michael Luciano
The Houston Astros have been the punchline to every joke in the 2020 offseason after they were busted and charged with cheating via the use of stolen signs, but their fanbase doesn't seem to care. In fact, they're loving their new roles as the villains of the league, as evidenced by one Astros fan banging on a trash can lid while showing off his tainted championship gear at Spring Training.
This guy must be REALLY fun to be around at parties.
As insanely irritating and disruptive as this fan is, some fans actually have a degree of respect for this guy, as they claim that it's better to go full wrestling heel and wallow in your team's status as the enemy rather than stay in denial and try to claim the cheating didn't happen.
The excoriation the Astros and their fanbase have been receiving over the last few months has apparently done nothing to make their fanbase reconsider their loyalty. If anything, they've embraced the team harder than they did before. Buckle up, fans of the 29 other teams. Astros fans could make 2020 a bumpy ride in the first few months based on their defiance and arrogance.
