DonWii is right again! I was thinking the same thing. Despite all the passionate anger that fills forums and conventions and every other fanboy venue, none other then Sports has had actual blood spilt on behalf of fans. Riots, mob hits, countless injured, streakers going to jail, threatened fans(cubs fan who caught the ball druing the playoffs a few years ago). They have entire wardrobes decales, flags waving on their cars. Try wearing a yankee ball cap in Boston. In fact just try wearing a New York cap in Boston and some one will rip on you for just because of the Yanks. Try entering a pub with that hat during a game, and I'd seriously be concerned about a fight. Plus there is simply more sports fans then any other kind of fan period. More people watch things like the superbowl then anything else.
So if you measure by passion, aggresion, memoribelia(sp?) or popularity it always come back to sports. PS. is there a spell checker in here somewhere that I'm not aware of? I could use one.
