"What do you expect to happen? Is it right? No! But when you are public enemy #1... expect to be treated harshly. No way that I expose my wife or kids to that. It's unfair. But it's reality in NY!"
Rory McIlroy received sustained hostility from spectators at the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage State Park, enduring heckling and rowdy behavior. A spectator reportedly threw a drink that struck his wife, Erica, rather than McIlroy himself. Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer Chipper Jones weighed in, recounting that during his 20-year career he played in New York 12–15 times per year and never allowed his family to attend those games. Jones described New York crowds as capable of treating public figures harshly and said he avoided exposing his wife and children to that reality, while calling the behavior unfair.
