Ya know, i’m totally surprised that nobody has mentioned Philly yet, and the infamous snowballing of Santa. :wally
i live about 45 minutes from Philly, but even think about calling me a Philly fan. I’ve never been one and never will be. A guy i work with noticed i was wearing a BoSox hat one day and wanted to kick my ass for it, just because we live near Philly. I told him to go get a fucking life, and if he wanted to kick my ass just because of a hat, he could go outside and start without me and i’ll be out in 5 minutes.
But it wasn’t the true fans that started all that rioting shit. Just some people with to much booze and no brains, that gotta ruin it for everybody else. DUMB SHITS.
Shaq’s buying the LAPD a new police car. How frigging bizarre is that?
I’m originally from Philly, and I just wanted to toss in an insight: you have to boo the home team. That way they don’t get all self-important, especially when they’re in a slump, the bums. Speaking of bums, is that a Bosox cap? C’mere you…oh wait, I forgot. I’m in Baltimore now, where we leave merchandise related violence to Yankees fans.
Thanks JBirdman. I had the pleasure of seeing the O’s take on the BoSox last summer. Great pitchers duel, and as usual, unles Pedro is pitching the Sox lost. I do have to admit this though: There were four of us Sox fans that went to that game in Full BoSox regalia and not one word was said to us.
Try that in Phily and you’ll be lucky if you leave the came under your own power.
Shaq is buying the LAPD a new car huh? Hell why not, he makes enough money to buy a whole new fleet for them.
this rioting thing just makes me think about how stupid some people can get.
some icelandic history for you dopers…
possibly the worst riot in iceland happened when everybody were celebrating the end of the second world war. here in iceland both icelanders and soldiers from britain celebrated by dancing in the streets, singing and generally having a good time. until some english sodding soldier decided to climb up the statue of “president Jón”(he is attributed most of the honour of freeing iceland from the oppression of denmark) and decided to hang the flag of great britain up there, and belive me…icelanders didnt approve. so at the end of world war 2, people fought in iceland(police scattered the crowd(500 people at most, wouldnt belive it if they said there were more), GB soldiers fired shots in the air and icelanders threw stones or used bare fists).
we have even had a one man riot…
a building constructor in iceland threw milk products over congressmen and the bishop during the opening of the parlament in protest to his babtism. he couldnt break the agreement which he when he couldnt speak was bound to. (police thought it was part of the show…)
but never, ever in the entire history of icelandic riots, has one man or woman ever destroyed someones property…
