Big painted bellies and tailgate parties do not set the bar very high for home team loyalty these days. You want team spirit? Head to Italy. Yeah, there we find real fans. Don't like the other team's goalie? Toss a flare at his head. The opposing team's fans getting on your nerves (you know, by using up YOUR oxygen), then heave a chair over the barrier -- yes, the barrier that was put there to keep fans apart because these sorts of things happen...with some regularity!
That doesn't top the list though. If you really want to show your team loyalty, then stab a guy and toss him from the upper balcony! That will show him to wear the other team's t-shirt!
I couldn't believe what I was reading. But here's the real kicker...the article finished by indicating that this is the worst violence that this soccer team has had to deal with...in the past year. Not "ever"..."in the past year."
You think soccer (or futball to the purists) will catch on in the US? Let's hope not...
Have a good weekend.

I think I will stick with the civilized sports: rodeo, bull fighting, cockfighting,and prowrestling.
