I understand why you might be frustrated Rocketpig. I do have a tendency to generalize in order to see similarities and potential connections with things. You have to admit that American football, while it can be enjoyed by many people for different reasons, does attract some pretty mindless fans.

NFL games don't have riots where multiple people die time and again.  Soccer outside of the U.S. does have that happen.  Now I'm not going to call soccer fans mindless, because that would be unfair and not generall true, but you should mind your manners when speaking about NFL fans.  We are not out murdering people at games.  Thats whats mindless.  And where thats happening is in the occasional soccer match abroad.

Biggest Bullshit ive ever heard in my life.

Firstly as you will most likely know there are more football fans world wide than any other sports so by odds your bound to have a few hot heads here and there. This is extreamly minimal. Maybe if NFL was a sport played by more than an extreamly tiny protortion of the world we might see a different outcome such as a killing every 5 years or so. Fortunatly this will never be the case with American football or eggball whatever its called.

And again i could come back to it, at least we arnt murdering people over religion facism. I here something called the KKK is still around. Yes, murdering in football is about aas minimal as that of the actions of the KKK. Its heard alot when it happens but its thts only because its so rare that it happens.

 

*Read* my post.  Don't just glance at it and get inflamed.  mmnin said American football is what attracts mindless fans.

I am countering his point that the epitomy of mindless fans is in Soccer abroad.  But I said quite clearly that its not all fans and not generally the case with most soccer fans.  So I am NOT disparging your sport.  Instead I am merely defending against an unfair attack on one of ours.  If someone is going to try to call out NFL fans as attracting the mindless they should look in the mirror of Soccer first to see if the same (or worse) could be said of its fans.
