How embarrassing Vancouver - you lost a fucking hockey game and THIS is how you react:
Rioting? Looting? Fires? A Boston fan tossed over an overpass??? :mad::mad: WTF??
That’s fucking fantastic. There are some reports that the Boston fan DIED - I really hope that’s hype and not true.
I’m disgusted with the assholes that started this mess, but just as disgusted with the spectators that insist on sticking around to watch it like it’s a friggin’ block party. Go the fuck home people. Walk if you have to.
One guy, and he looked pretty hardcore himself, was trying to stop a crowd from burning a car. He got swarmed, and they burned the car anyway. I don’t think it was his car; he was probably just taking a stand, for all the good it did. I can’t believe people have so little respect for themselves.
By idiots with an axe to grind it is associated, yes. This is a thread about idiotic hockey fans and it took a whole four replies before someone started going on about soccer. Four. That’s fucking pathetic on your part. It is a sporting equivalent of someone saying <politician x> isn’t bad for doing <nasty thing y> because < politician z from the opposition party> did <evil thing, shit, z’>
All sorts of sports have problems with violence, including sports in the US. My Eagles-loving mate seems to be strangely proud of them having (apparently) had an in-stadium court to deal with such things.
Do canuck fans get in their cars, drive to the city whose team beat them and trash the place? No, Boston’s too far. So they destroy their own town. What a bunch of fucked up hoodlums.
To everyone else, read these eight words while asking the question, “What is the writer trying to say here?”
What point is this post trying to make? It offers no commentary on the incidents described in the OP. It makes no point regarding the actual game or sport that prompted the violence. It mentions not at all the people or places involved in the incidents.
On the face of it this post makes no sense whatsoever. It reads as the sort of post a drooling retard would mash out as he vainly tries to pretends he is part of a discussion, all while his fuzzy little mind struggles to understand what is actually going on. What other explanation could there be? A bunch of words with no real relevance to the thread, why would it be there?
Then you realise you are on the Straight Dope, and it is just another silly little man trolling for reactions.
