Crazy football fan (english subtitles) - YouTube
2:45 always makes me laugh.
fukkING ******S!!!!
I don't know why that shyt made me laugh.
sports in general outside the US is far more than mindless entertainment it is here.
I like it.
not in the start wars sense, but sports is an emotional competition between teams rather than a spectacle for fat asses to be entertained and gambling degenerates to get a thrill of losing/winning money.
Yeah, in America, capitalism moves around sports teams, so fans really never get too attached to teams. Unless you're like the Green Bay Packers or something, American teams are always in danger of moving away, which makes the team more of the property of the owners than of the fans, but over there, teams don't go anywhere. Those teams are there for over 100 years and go from generation to generation and are actually a part of the city and it's fans.
It's almost beautiful in a way.
This is why it's always funny to me when people here talk and they say "greatest" fans or most passionate fans "in the WORLD".
Like, the world, dude?
Most people here dont understand how "real" the thing they call "that life" can get on a global scale. The world can a scary and brutal place. Football fans in Europe or South America wont hesitate to kill each other over a meaningless game. It's stupid but them cats are that passionate about theirs. I dont think most of us here that are fans of a sport want any piece of that action.
Who says that?
I've never heard any Americans say that we care more about sports than they do.
We just make fun of them for liking soccer so much, but we have too much shyt to do in America to be what those people are.
We got New York, Hollywood, Las Vegas, Miami, etc. . .
there's more to it, i'm being misleading to go along with the theme of the thread
