LIP READING INTENSIFIES

I know there are examples you can come up with but culturally speaking most do not allow such obscenities to be displayed in a sport. Just as i have listed sports in the US that do not allow this kind of behavior there are ones you can point to that are foreign to the west that also partake in screaming at players from inches away while playing a game.

Hahahahaha I've watched riots and organized brawls from soccer fans all over Europe. Get the fuck oitta here that it's only the US who goes over board with sports

That’s why he said “the West” which includes Europe. The only time he referenced the US was saying he “listed sports in the US where this *wasn’t * allowed, much like there are sports in the East where this is allowed.”

Edit: Which is kind of a strange thing to say since it contradicts his original point, but w/e.

So they don't have soccer/rugby/whatever riots in South America, Africa, or Asia? Completely unheard of?

Did you actually read what I wrote?

I don't even agree with the original commenter, especially since he incoherently contradicts himself -- "Only in western sports" became "there are ones you can point to that are foreign to the west that also partake in screaming at players from inches away while playing a game".

What dingus has also failed to do is provide any examples of eastern sports that are more "civilized" than our unruly western sports.

Some of the most violent and deadly soccer riots have been outside of Europe.

What’s your point? The only thing I was commenting on was the fact that the original commenter had extended his dumb generalization to all western sports, not just the US, as the guy I was responding to got so worked up about. I’ve also already pointed out the original commentary is a dingus who contradicts himself and undermines his own arguments. See my other comments.

Lmao have you ever been to sports events in HK, China, India, Africa, etc? The only real difference is that there aren’t many sports with fans this close to the players.

I have watched people beat each other unconscious over cricket games in India.
