I don't get it. Soccer is becoming a religion to many people. It's amazing, but NFL football is much more civilized. The fans don't kill each other. As much as I supported the Dallas Cowboys, I'd never have murdered an obnoxiou Pittsburg Steeler fan when they were in town. And those towel-swinging rastards are obnoxious but we still didn't kill 'em. They were irritating......very irritating........:)

It has been for a while. I remember reading years ago that there was a dry moat built around the field in a 120,000 seat Brazilian stadium to protect the referee (and players). Then you have all the fights between the "supporters" in Europe. Nothing in the US compares. And that's saying something.

No worries, we here in Pittsburgh feel the same about Dallas fans, no matter where you happen to be..
