It's only a fucking game. God, if people cared as much about what their government was doing as they do about someone hitting a ball with stick...

Nerina · 05-05-2008, 02:27 PM

Exactly noodles.

Wow... I always knew the Yankees had some crazy fans... But...

This is the exact reason my girlfriend refuses to put a Red Sox sticker on her car

This is one of the many reasons that I don't watch sports. My girl thinks she is the luckiest woman on the planet, snagging someone who never, ever turns on ESPN.

I don't blame her! In Scotland, they have the Glasgow Rangers and the Celtics, two rival football (soccer) teams, and they HATE eachother, get caught wearing the 'wrong team' colours in the wrong part of town, and you've got problems.....Comedians like Billy Connolly ( from Glasgow,Scotland) make fun about it all the time, about people running for their lives when they are suddenly surrounded by guys who like the other team, its more than a game to people like that, its like their bloody identity.

People are retarded. Just give them something to beleive in. Sports, religion, ICP (juggalows/ettes). The human race should have an IQ test at 18 and whoever fails should be shot in the head.

Frowning upon elite athletic competition because of a few yahoos out there who take things too far seems silly reason to dislike sports. Everything has a small extremist element to it - be it sports, entertainment, politics, hobbies, etc. Are you going to never watch a movie again because there are a few crazies out there who become obsessed with Star Wars or stalk Halle Berry?

Of course the story is disgusting, and Nerina is right. It is pathetic when sports fans take things so far that it becomes their identity. Pride in something you had nothing to do with is always nauseating (nationalism, race, etc). But for most people it's just the love of the game, the fun of it.

I guess you missed the "one of many reasons" part. Other reasons include steroids, overpaid whiny players, shift of focus from team performance to the individual, playing the sport is far more fun than watching the sport, and last but not least, watching three hours worth of the same thing is incredibly fucking boring.

I wish the world's best high school teachers got paid one tenth of what the world's best baseball players made.
