Offensive response

While watching Leinster v Northampton in the Aviva stadium on Dec 14 I witnessed something that astonished me.

There was a gentleman seated near me who was vocal in his support for Leinster. No doubt he had a few taken, but nothing he said was in any way offensive, nothing more than mischievous banter. A few rows in front of me a gentleman with a clear south Dublin accent drew the attention of a steward who had the supporter unceremoniously frogmarched from the stadium. This mean-spirited act marred the remainder of day for me.
