[QUOTE="Batman_, post: 1332755, member: 13295"] Whether they're black or not really makes no difference. It's not any worse than the Europeans who lose their fucking minds over soccer matches. The worst of it is people who become emotionally attached to "their" team and will base their entire mood around how their team performs. Some fans even start riots if their team loses (or wins). It's particulary stupid when you consider that teams don't really represent anything, since the players are traded around like commodities and the home city the team supposedly represents rarely contains actual players from that city - and even if it did, who the fuck cares? I have always cringed that sports talk is so closely associated with masculinity and is almost a default subject to talk about. Because I don't partake in any of it, this has ruined friendships for me in the past, and I can't wait until this shit dies. [/QUOTE]
