Reminds me of the riots over a hockey game in Vancouver. If you riot over a sports event your city should get turned into a work camp.
Interesting idea! Since everyone in the city was a sports fan and participated in the riots, and of course everyone participating in the riots was from the city, it totally makes sense.
So hyperbole is just a lost concept to you eh
If you riot over any fucking game your team should be banned for participating for a time. Fans can't behave then the fans can't watch their team play. Maybe ban all their sports teams. Between religion and sports we humans have some weird hangups about "our teams"
Seriously. Like… the thing I’m probably the most hardcore fan of is music, specifically metal, punk, and industrial. But I just cannot imagine rioting over something like a band playing a shitty live show or putting out a shitty album. I assume those would be the closest equivalence to your sports team losing. And don’t get me started on religious folk, most of them have legitimately lost their minds at this point.
I dunno man. I reeeeaaaallly wanted to smash something when Saint Anger came out.
