There is an entire sub-section of supposed "fans" who go to games not for a love of the game or to cheer their team. They are frustrated with life, angry at the world, or hate their job and come sunday, they are looking for an escape and place full of a bunch of like minded people where it is acceptable to get pissed drunk act like an idiot and vent their frustrations. As they fill with liquid courage they will likely find someone to harass or a good fight along the way- usually with someone much smaller or preferably well outnumbered. If their team wins... well even better. They claim this victory as their own, acting as if they had accomplished something themselves, and then talk trash, and pound their chest and belittle whoever is on the losing side. If their team loses- look out!! Like an overgrown child, they kick and stomp their feet and whine like a child and spew excuses about how they were cheated and how unfair life is, throw things and look for someone to harm or pay for this supposed injustice. These idiots/people come from all walks of life, races, nationalities, countries, sports and teams. However in some teams and sports a trend will begin... it starts out small and if no one steps in and stops the behavior and calls these idiots on their B.S. it builds. Pretty soon a team will have a large following of people looking to show up to game with the intention of starting %#@&. Unfortunately this displaces the decent people who won't go to a game under these conditions. Do I think the stupidity displayed at that game was an inherently Mexican trait. NO WAY. The vast majority of Mexicans and Mexican team fans are hard working, decent, family oriented people who love the game of futbol and would love nothing more than to watch and cheer their team in a respectful manner. Unfortunately the above trend seems to have happened with the Mexican team. This makes it more and more difficult for the decent people, who are really the majority, to go to a game, particularly with kids... without fear of exposing themselves and their families to fights, profanity, spilled beer and whatever ridiculous, animalistic behavior. Stop making excuses for this garbage and call it what it is: on forums, in articles and especially at games. If we all do the, spineless sheep who act like this will soon stop.
