Rob Ford showed up to Sunday’s Falcons-Bills game in Toronto, much to the delight of those in the Rogers Centre – well, except for one fan. The mayor was mobbed by supporters and/or people who wanted a photo with the international punchline, but Canadian musician Matt Mays claimed on Twitter that Ford was in his seat. “The mayor stole my f@#%ing seat man!!” Mays wrote, adding “I’m by myself. I gotta kick him out right? I mean I would kick anyone else out… Am I wrong?” Mays got his seat back about an hour later, apparently without being knocked to the ground. Ford went home and patted himself on the back for his least scandalous outing in weeks.
