Question have you ever been to the UK?
Australia and the UK are very similar when it comes to sports and all that type of stuff...
Even still, i'd doubt that Aussies would verbally abuse some random guy in the crowd.
Oh come on a simple youtube search.
OH swearing here close your ears.
Look which one was worse eh?
People can be idiots all over the planet, but it was a darts match lets not turn it into something it wasn't.edit on 13-12-2012 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

Brits being pissed at darts matches and having a bit of banter, craic and a bit of a sing along is as quintisessentially British as it gets.
I very much doubt there was any malice intended whatsoever and the guy was in no more immediate danger than anyone else present.
I would hazard a guess that the security officers were acting on instructions from someone else, possibly the event organisers etc - but no matter what I think it was a bit excessive and I feel sorry for the guy.

I watched that incident live and I'll tell you what happened. The players were in the middle of a game and when the crowd started chanting, it distracted the best player in the world who is pretty much the god of darts. I didn't realise he ot escorted out but if anything, the chanters were the issue and not Jesus.. They were told to be quiet also so I guess it was the only way to stop them. Imagine trying to escort 3-4000 people out..
I think half the reason they get pissed, play sing along and chant is because they actually cannot see what the hell is happening on stage anywayedit on 13-12-2012 by DarknStormy because: (no reason given)

Sounds like a bunch of drunk idiots were harrassing a guy who was just minding his own business. They must have been REALLY drunk to think he looks like Jesus. Like was said earlier .. he looks like a modern musician rather than a 2,000 year old Jewish carpenter.

Wow.... How often do you see adults acting like grade school children in a group? The scary thing is...groups like this seem to turn rough without much notice these days too and for the dumbest of things. This was just cruel and outrageous beyond measure. I can't imagine the embarrassment of the guy just sitting there trying to watch the match.
Some days, it's breath taking.
