Random Thought #1
Posted by khrycak on June 9, 2008
Let’s say hypothetically your favourite hockey team was the Detroit Red Wings and you’re so crazy about them all of your bathroom towels have their symbol. When they won the Stanley Cup, did you go running out rip roaring drunk into the street screaming and yelling and chanting with 10,000 of your closest friends? Did you drunk drive around honking and hanging out the window?
So River Plate, one of the famous Argentine soccer teams, won a huge game tonight and I’ve had to sit in my apartment listening to the honking and the yelling for about 4 hours now. Why do you think that Soccer creates wild, crazy, passionate fans while other sports don’t?

Actually, I was in Detroit when the Wings won the Cup and … it got really insane in Detroit. Like. Really insane.

Well that’s good to know that hockey is still creating some passion in the streets!
On another related note for how crazy some people are about their teams, I remembered that I read an article about a year ago that provides the perfect example. I can’t find the original article anymore, but there are plenty of other websites that posted the same thing
