The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery is directly across the street from Verizon Center. Following games, Pittsburgh fans sometimes gather there to celebrate. It is very annoying.



We've been contacted a few times this week by folks who are worried about this gathering and want to stop it.



Don't.



Let's take the behavior of some fans last series as an object lesson on hospitality. Let's do the opposite. Let's be gracious hosts, let's be genteel af. And anyway, confrontation and harassment seem to me to be contrary to the idea (if not the practice) of our nation's capital.

20 years ago, I personally would not have allowed such shenanigans to fly, but now I'm old and too lazy to be bothered by such stupidity. One the other hand, the fact that so many Washingtonians turn the other cheek definitely seems to encourage the F bomb chorus.



Is there a simple way to end this nonsense.... outside of a hockey riot, a al Vancouver?



What say you?
