    "In the good ole days" I used to read with disdain about other countries where soccer fans rioted and beat each other to death and used to smirk at the prison-like fences teams had to install to keep fans from the players and each other. And I used to feel superior to those non-USA thugs who fight and kill each other over their "Real' (Insert City)" teams.

    For the most part, American's were able to be fervid fans of their teams without also being thugs and buttholes. It wasn't uncommon for us to cheer frantically for our teams while also clapping for injured players on the other teams or for us to congratulate fans of teams who beat our team. I can remember the time when we held "sportsmanship" above all else when it came to our teams.

    Unfortunately, those days are seemingly gone. Now, beating an opposing fan to near death is not all that uncommon. And fatally shooting them is happening more and more too. Unfortunately, as the worlds melting pot, we are becoming infused with the world's lack of social politeness and civilization. "Muy Macho" and aggressive and insulting smack talk are the norms now.

    When it comes to being a sports fan, we are now what we used to abhor. We are the world.

    Since no one cares about how this sign of sports killings will impact them eventually....

    I'll help: crimaleins just don't care about being American... but ONLY about getting the benefits of pretending to be American. Those that are doing the violence are crimalein scum... as per reports.....:gun:
