A diehard Jet fan was savagely beaten on his own turf by a drunken gang of Kansas City Chiefs fans after their team was trounced on Sunday — with one of the assailants barking “F—k New York” and “You all deserved what happened on 9/11!” the victim’s distraught family told The Post.
James Mohr, 23, a physical-education teacher at the Bronx Guild vocational high school, was wearing his Jets gear after the team’s 37-10 victory as he walked through Parking Lot J at MetLife Stadium when a woman standing with a pack of thugs screamed the vile taunts.
Mohr took offense and told the rowdies their 9/11 insult was “disrespectful,” said his sister, Anna Mohr, 28.
“Our other brother is a fireman, and my father is retired FDNY, so you can understand why a 9/11 comment would especially irk him,” Anna said. “He was shocked anyone would actually say something like that.”
Mohr, who lives in Auburndale, Queens, was walking alone from where a group of neighborhood pals had gathered in another part of the lot where some buddies from Manhattan College were parked when he was jumped by up to seven of the cowardly goons. At least one was wearing a Chiefs football jersey, a police source confirmed
The lifelong Jet fan suffered a fractured jaw, cheekbone and eye socket in the beatdown, and also has bleeding on the brain.

[JR: This is absurd. It’s not hard to imagine the “religious wars” in third world countries. We have our own version here in the USA. Seriously, fighting over professional team affiliations. Yeah, there can and should be good natured jostling over why the Giants are better than the Jets or the Yanks are better than the Red Sox, or event he Jaspers are better than Rams. But physical violence! Over sports teams? And, I don’t think it’s just all alcohol. (Don’t get me started on ranting about the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”) Where’s the security? And, what about the RKBA? He should have been allowed to defend himself with deadly force. Bet that would put a stop to this nonsense. Argh!]

Dear John,
I checked and he is a member of the Class of 2010.
