I would like to see the so-called Hillsborough Disaster visited on all sports stadiums throughout the world.
Not Everyone is a Brain-dead Sports Fan!

Yeah! I just went there myself.Ray wrote:Did a sinkhole swallow up a stadium? That would be cool.

I looked it up.

It was an incidence of a stampede where 96 people died in a crush. At a stadium.
WHOA! I find that statement to be a little extreme. Yeah, I don't like sports and I don't admire the mindless sheep that follow them and start riots over them but I don't think they deserve to die like that. 96 people died in that incident - some of those were women and children who had absolutely no way of stopping what was going to happen; not all of them were moronic drunken beergut walrus-like male fanatics who probably were the ones who caused it. Yet nobody deserves to die for the simple reason they like sports. Think of the families who had to suffer because they lost relatives in that. Think of the chaos and confusion that must have ruined not only people's days, but their whole lives too. Some of the scars, both physical and emotional, inflicted on people that day will never fully heal. To be involved in an event of mass chaos and death is traumatising. I consider myself grateful that I or nobody I know was involved in that. Do you remember that happening in 1989? I don't remember much, as I would have only been seven (nearly eight) at the time. Were you around then? I hope people can do their best in future to prevent things like that happening again. The odd fight over football is to be expected but when people die over it, that is when a line is crossed and things go too far. NOBODY should die over something as trivial as football. It was a tragedy. Not everyone who died in it had a part to play in causing it - granted, some fans did get too rowdy and it was their fault the asphyxiation was initiated as it was an extremely tightly-packed stand all the fans were standing in, but innocent people who were just there to enjoy a game had to lose their lives because of some unruly, thuggish idiots. They have my sympathy and respect. Death over sports is a waste of life. Sorry I have to welcome you to the forum like this but I have to stick up for the memories of innocent people who lost their lives for such a pitiful reason as being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have to be fair, not a complete bastard. Anyway, welcome.wibberley wrote:I would like to see the so-called Hillsborough Disaster visited on all sports stadiums throughout the world.
Hate to sound like some sort of bore who just bosses people around but it's not exactly a good way to make your first post, disrespecting the memories of people who have died. Anyway, I hope Wibberley and our other recent members come back. I don't want to discourage people from posting here but I like to keep things fair. A skill you have taught me through our interesting debates on this board. I'm checking in quite a lot on this website now, nearly every day. I hope to become perhaps the fourth or the fifth 1,000 post member but Sergey is obviously going to beat me to the 4th place mark. You, Ray and Fat Man are also to be commended for your devotion to this website. 1,000 posts is an awful lot. Yet one member on the Sporting News forums has clocked up over 80,000 posts. EIGHTY THOUSAND. Yes, it is true when they say sports fans can be even more dependent on the computer than us nerds. After all, if they can't get to go to the big game in real life and they're too lazy to turn on their TV then how else are they going to find out the score? Oh yes, they need the COMPUTER to do it. I think these jocks who enjoy slagging us nerds off need to look at themselves in the mirror and realise where they're getting a lot of their knowledge about the latest professional sports news from. We're living in the 21st century. We all use computers and that includes the sports bullies who are very proud and defiant in their claims of hating nerds and always being out and about with hardly any time to log on! Look at Samdaman for example. For someone who claimed to have a lot of hot girlfriends and rough violent sports to play he sure seemed to spend enough time on the PC to bore the hell out of the Sports Suck regulars at the time with it and try and touch off a website war with his Sporting News threads, eh? We all need to come together as one and realise how utterly dependent we as a society are on computer and network technology and how utterly FUCKED society would become if all of that was to suddenly disappear into thin air overnight. And that includes you, sports fans!Earl wrote:i_like_1981, you are to be commended for providing a voice of moderation. Thanks, buddy.
I knew a guy on this forum I used to go to who, last time I was there, had ELEVEN THOUSAND (11,000) posts. I thought that was a lot... but eighty thousand!?i_like_1981 wrote:1,000 posts is an awful lot. Yet one member on the Sporting News forums has clocked up over 80,000 posts. EIGHTY THOUSAND.
I know, Skul. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot indeed. Perhaps you could use this argument against some sports fan on here when they come slagging us off about how all we do is go on computers. I guarantee you, reminding them of some of the member post numbers on the Sporting News will show them who really relies more on the computer in the long run! 80,000 posts is just incredible. Seriously, they either must mostly be one-word posts or perhaps this guy practically lives on his computer and only watches sport games on the internet.Skul wrote:I knew a guy on this forum I used to go to who, last time I was there, had ELEVEN THOUSAND (11,000) posts.
