Those fans are the fans of the University of Michigan.
Yes, Michigan. One of the schools I root for has some very terrible fans.
Why? Not because they're poor sports, but because they're stuck up. No, not about being Michigan fans, but in order to better accommodate disabled people in the no-longer Big House (Penn State has that honor now), they have to remove a few seats. And Michigan fans are blaming and lambasting other Michigan fans because they are disabled.
Such insensitivity drives me nuts. Especially from fans of a school I root for bringing the rest of us down.

Blame fans in wheelchairs for lower stadium capacity
To the Daily:
In response to the settlement the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America reached with the University regarding Michigan Stadium's wheelchair accessibility: Nice work guys, your wish finally came true. You have fought hard to ensure that you are able to see Michigan football in person. It is very important that you guys be able to view the game - important enough that the Big House will lose 1,300 seats and potentially the title of "largest stadium in college football."
Since you guys are willing to sacrifice Michigan Stadium tradition in order to see games, you must be fanatical about Michigan football. And, because you felt your rights to view a game were violated, you stuck up for yourselves. I commend you for making sure everyone has an equal chance to see a Michigan game.
Here is what I ask of all people who will be helped by this agreement: I expect all people in wheelchairs to work extra hard to make up for the loss in seating. I expect to be deafened by the roar on third downs coming from wheelchair sections. I expect to see every wheelchair decked out in maize and blue. I expect that wheelchair sections have their own original cheers.
Because people in wheelchairs are going to be accommodated by the Michigan community, it should not be too much to ask that these people return the favor.
