An 8-year-old Houston Astros fan with special needs appeared distraught in a video Sunday after she was scolded for cheering on her favorite team.
Chloe Beaver, 8, was loudly supporting the defending World Series champions at Minute Maid Park in Houston when a woman in front of her turned around and said, “Enough,” according to FOX26 Houston. Chloe quickly went from all smiles to all frowns and the heartbreaking reaction was captured on video.
Monica Beaver, Chloe’s mother, told the station her daughter had been diagnosed with DMDD, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder – a condition in which the child comprehends emotions in the same way a toddler does. She said Chloe was devastated after the incident.
“If you have an issue with somebody's children, talk to the parent. Not the child. We tried to get our row and the row behind us to cheer on and get her to keep cheering. It took a little bit though, but there were a bunch of people upset at that situation, so we tried to fix it in a positive manner,” Monica Beaver said.
Joe Beaver, Chloe’s father, told the station the nature of being at a stadium calls for fans to be loud at the ball game.
“You're supposed to cheer your team on. I've never watched a game on TV where it's not loud and you don't hear everything in the audience. You get loud and if you don't want to be at a loud area, don't go to the game,” he said.
An Astros spokesperson told the station they have seen the video, but have no comment.
Chloe’s family said they were worried the incident would have kept their daughter from going to more games in the future. But Chloe, a huge fan of 2017 American League MVP Jose Altuve, said she hopes to see all Astros home games next season.

Here we have another "my-child-has-a- disorder-and-you-must-accommodate-her" story. She has this new behavioral disorder called Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) which, according to the article, is a "condition in which the child comprehends emotions in the same way a toddler does".
I looked it up and got a much different definition -- children with DMDD have severe and frequent temper tantrums that interfere with their ability to function at home, in school or with their friends. Doesn't even seem like the same thing. Maybe DMDD is one of those things that means whatever you want it to mean.
Anyways, it's seems the woman found a cure for it -- SHUT UP! And the child sat back and calmed down and behaved herself. A miracle cure. Discipline.

After 30 minutes of screaming from behind "doggie doggie doggie!" "big truck, truck truck!" and the like, I turned to a couple of the wranglers and asked them to deal with it.
They looked at me as if it was MY fault and problem, oblivious to the needs of normal people.
I got my money back.

If you don't like loud fans, then go home and watch the game on TV you whining, complaining bitch.
I'd rather be seated at a ball game near a loud, vocal kid than some self-absorbed snowflake like this woman.

Maybe you should go to a movie geared more towards adults instead of some dismal Disney kiddie film.
...oblivious to the needs of normal people.
That you consider yourself "normal" in any way is hilarious.

Big difference between a loud fan and a fan who won't STFU. The parents should have controlled her.
What's telling is their defense -- they didn't say she was a loud fan. They said she had a mental disorder.

If your dog shits in people’s yard... it’s your responsibility to police that dog. If your retard acts up in public... police it up, or confine the retard to your own home.
Nobody wants to be around retards in public.

That seems to be the consensus opinion on this thread.

Looks like you assholes don't have the class that the Astros team has - and likely 99% of humanity has.
What am I saying - you intolerable pricks have no class whatsoever.
"Chloe, don't you EVER stop cheering!" Houston Astros players come out in support of young fan scolded at game

She will be going to game one of the ALDS while you sit at home and try to justify your miserable existence and your hatred of a kid with disabilities.

Yep. It's a "she's-a-retard-and-you-should-have-known-it-and-accommodated-her" story.
You see, it's your fault because you're not only ignorant but insensitive.
