Soccer can get pretty bad, I think in some stadiums (most/all? thrill might be able to help) they don't even sell booze during the game to help mitigate the hooligans from starting stuff.jim wrote:My brother is on this tyrade that the media is out to villanize hockey. Is this true? If they are blaming this on the sport it's kind of silly, I mean soccer has to be the worst for crazy stuff.

If anybody gets out of line in a RUGBY match, the players will go into the stands and practice rucking and mauling on the offending parties.

Pretty clever of them to all dress up in Canuck jerseys.pop_haines wrote:These weren't Canuck fans rioting.
Similar to the 'Battle for Seattle' back in the 90's, these
were anarchists breaking $hit just for the sheer joy of it.
Like Jim mentioned, the riot was 'go' win or lose.
Vancouver is a great city. Don't be so quick to condemn it,
especially if you've never visited it.

Re: Canuckle Head Fans Riot after Stanley Cup Loss
So you really believe the conspiracy theory? The rioters had nothing to do with Vancouver? They just flew into Vancouver that night, bought jerseys, and wreaked havoc under the guise of a hockey riot?pop_haines wrote:Really?

A Canadian city just lost to an American city in the only thing Canada is good at. Of course they're pissed.

Re: Canuckle Head Fans Riot after Stanley Cup Loss
The same thing (riots after a hockey loss) happened in Vancouver in 1994. It's not like this is unprecedented for them.
There were thousands of people involved in the riots. I just don't see that sort of organization among anarchists.
This doesn't mean that Vancouver is an awful place, but they were awful that night.

The news showed some canadian athlete apologizing on tv because he was caught on video attempting to torch a cop car. He was crying, I was laughing at him crying.

No worries, soc. I think most of the rioters were Canucks fans.
I just don't think they started this thing.
Many riots are spontaneous, but many more are not.
Also, Jonah Hex was an AWFUL movie.
Yeah, I said it.
