'Killer Man Utd Fan' Rams Barca Crowd
Re: 'Killer Man Utd Fan' Rams Barca Crowd
Fat Man, you don't know even .0000000001 percent of all sports fans so I'm curious as to how you can come to all these conclusions about such a huge group of people. Just because you like sports doesn't make you a bad person. Somebody killing someone over a game is an EXTREMELY rare incident.

I have no comment on Polite24's first sentence, but I agree with the second and third sentences.

Maybe it's agreeable, maybe it isn't, but Polite24 is once again dodging the point of this site.
He doesn't ask the hard questions, like how does human nature allow behavior relating to sports fanaticism to even get to that point? Killing someone over a game? I don't give a shit if it's one incident out of 1,000,000,000 non-lethal incidents.
The questions he would be asking if he understood the point of this site (notice how everytime I say something along these lines, all he does is continue to attack people with more extreme views and/or the viewpoints themselves, rather than discuss the more gray areas with us) are questions concerning the attitude of the sports fanatic and how it contributes to both common and rare examples of unacceptable behavior in our society.
I honestly would like to delve deeper, past sports, into human nature itself with the Sports Bores, but very few of them have bothered coming forward and having intelligent discussion. Polite24 seems intelligent on the surface, but his consistent attitude and narrow mindedness make it impossible for us to really continue forward on this.
The irony is, there is a lot I will concede about sports, but I refuse to do it until someone on the anti-sports side with the right attitude comes forward.
Who knows, maybe now that our site is on wikipedia, we'll get more people, and possibly more intelligent people on both sides of the argument in here.
