Ming Fan - The mean Fan
The mean fan, Robert DeNiro, was relentless. When Snipes lost his spot to
another player DeNiro got an itch to kill the
replacement player, who he saw as a toxic parasite,
while he was sitting in the damp steam room
with nothing but a towel on. After DeNiro watched the guy bleed
for a while he alleviated his diarrhea before
leaving the crime scene. As he left the he spat a hot
phlegm ball - no respect.
DeNiro obviously didn't have a weak stomach (cc: weak
digestive system) nor did he care about the dead player's pregnant
wife (cc: pregnancy). But killing the player
in the steam room was just bad form, he could have been more thoughtful
and killed the player (cc: in the absence of damp
heat).
