US Woman Experiences Cultural Shock At A European Basketball Game

[unit321]

American crowds have never been like that.

In US collegiate sports, the fans go crazy. I prefer going to a college ice hockey or basketball game over a pro game. The speed and skill level is much higher in a pro game, no doubt about that. But the fan experience is lame at a pro game compared to a college game. Most people are schmoozing and not even paying attention to the game.

Crowds have never been like that in America...
Only thing coming close are the MLS matches between Seattle and Portland

I have a friend who went to Portland games. He told me it's on another level, the fan support and experience. I think he got addicted to that. I didn't quite believe him until I watched a game on the television. It's like they were in Mexico.

you'd look like that too if you were the only black folk in a crowd of screaming white folk. That ain't shock that's fear. She looking for an escape route and her man is recording one of those "If you don't hear from me these the folks who killed me" videos to post on his fb

It's not just Euro fans, it's every other fan that is not a jaded American that gets down for their squad. Look at Japanese baseball fans and Caribbean baseball fans. I think Hockey fans are the closest you'll get to that same vibe.

When teams are franchises rather than community pillars, these things happen.

The disconnect among fans, players, and teams will only continue to grow.
