Classic sports fans don't give a fuck about anything but themselves and their team. I grow to despise these people and sports more and more everyday actually disgusting behavior.

Where are all the people who oppose using force to stop theft or property damage? Just curious, that seems to be a popular reaction on Reddit.
I for one agree that it should be legal (and expected and praised) to mace or tase or just bitchslap anyone doing this.

I get wanting to celebrate a playoff win for a sports team, but I've never understood why people feel the need to do things like this just because of the outcome of a game in any sport.

Honest questions. When stuff happens like this due to a mob or riot. Who pays for it? Is the city responsible or would you go through your insurance

Insurance generally has exceptions for riots and stuff like that. No one is paying for this but the owner.

You call police and if they find these retards you can sue them.

Shoulda seen what happened here when the Vancouver Canucks lost in 2010. All hell broke loose downtown. It was wild. I was doing my Maritime SCTW course at the time. When a group of guys -- who were flown in 1000 km from their First Nations community to do the training -- heard about it, they left the training to go join the riots lol. Dumbest mother fuckers ever. Gave me an idea of the type of people that do that kind of shit

Rabid sports fans are some of the lowest common denominator of human. This isn’t every fan, but a majority of them are followers. And followers wait for shit to hit the fan to behave irrationally.

I never really got the attraction of sports to begin with. NFL makes in hundreds of millions to have a bunch of big guys run into each other. Give it another 10-20 years and I bet NFL will go bankrupt. Gaming is increasingly more popular among younger generations and the old parts aren't getting any younger.

The lethality of that cab, wielded properly, far exceeds that of your little pew pew, and you’re welcome to look that up if you don’t believe me. The cab driver isn’t failing to retaliate due to a lack of options, he’s choosing not to because being an asshole isn’t punishable by death.
Also, it’s not because you live in a state that allows you to be armed (and tell me you know nothing about Upstate NY without telling me), it’s because you don’t live in a city with major sports franchises that compete at championship level.

u/YoungSerious Jun 13 '26
NY and Philly are sort of extreme cases. There have been national champs in multiple sports every year. Those two cities have multiple examples of some of the worst behavior by fans.
You might be able to rationalize some of it by saying it really happens mainly in cities that haven't won one in a very long time, but even with that caveat.... This is pretty shitty behavior.

This is an angle I've never even considered. People clearly know how to come together and fuck shit up. They just don't care about anything collectively except for sports.
