Gotta say something nasty. Must be a Yankees or Oakland fan. Detroit is known for its riots in response to sporting triumphs. Nasty, yes ... but true.

"Detroit is known for its riots in response to sporting triumphs." The Tigers also have the most loyal and knowledgeable baseball fans. Not like the fans of the Atlanta Cravens or whatever their name is.

It happened in 84. Some skirmishes in 80 after the Pistons. Other than that, name them. LA can burn there city down and it doesn't make front page news. There's problems in every big city that wins. But when it happens in Detroit, the dirt gets piled on. The city itself, just like every city in the country has it's problems. Too detailed to list. I live here and travel nationally on business and Detroit gets treated like s&$t because of some of the things in it's past that every big city has dealt with. Most people from here are tired of it and don't care if you ever come to the area. It's amazing that a majority of former athletes that played here, still call the Detroit area home and raise their families here. Most people that have something negative to say have never been here or have just been downtown.
