I'm sure that for the last 3 weeks, not to mention the last 20 years, sports stories are front page, first on the commercials for TV news. Instead of... say... something important? Hence... people think this is actually something consequential to get upset about- because it's everywhere on TV and in magazines and always has been. Their team is their identity. Which can also be blamed on media always selecting entertainment value over actual meaningful content. ^.^ | ||

It sure sounds a hell of a lot more like retards doing retarded things | ||

But I guess those are the joys of living on a rich country; you destroy things that you may end up paying with your own taxes just because of the most banal thing you can imagine. And don't play the passion card on me, my country is also very "passionate", but in cases like this you normally see the stadium and adjacents getting damaged, not people rampaging over the whole city. Also, there is one thing that surprises me. Don't they have laws, judges, jails and stuff in Canada? Because I saw a lot of people with the face uncovered and nonchalantly posing for cameras. Even if drunk you have to be incredibly stupid to do that. What country do you live in? Do I have to remind you what happened when Nueva Chicago was demoted to the B league last time? I see Mauro Martin with his face uncovered every time I go to the stadium, and he has done worst things than burn a couple of cars and break some windows so please stop making ridiculous and untrue statements. | ||

It would be awesome if people would STOP pointing that out. Everyone who watches hockey is fully aware of this, it's not about the players, it's about the CITY the TEAM is from, it has nothing to do with the individuals. | ||

Being Canadian just means you live in a particular country with some geographical boundaries, that is governed by a particular entity. That's all it is...there's no reason why you should be ashamed for what other people do. There's no connection between you and them, except that you were born in the same country!Also the picture of the asian guy is hilarious. | ||

It's like a rule... hahhaha. Some people in the thread said that the riots aren't started by the fans but some other idiots starting shit and it's true. The first riot a couple of years ago in Montreal wasn't STARTED by the hockey fans, but by people who got their Wu Tang Clan concert cancelled the same night. They started shit, walked around downtown, then the Habs fan saw people breaking stuff and they joined in. ahhah... like my nicknames says it, im a huge wu tang fan and i live in montreal I was there the night the riot start, april 21th, but the show wasnt cancel at all, I saw the wu tang that nigh bro. the only thing its they were only 4 instead of 8.. (but seriously, everybody knew they would not be there all..) and the riot was started before the show was finished, when I got out of the metropolis, there was already police car flaming. it was a pretty nice night. | ||

Everyone I know (I live in the city) is pretty embarrassed about the whole thing too. There's an organized clean-up event going right now, to trying to prove that not everyone is a dick http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219286898091948 http://twitter.com/#!/vancouverclean | ||
