I can't speak for other cities because I've lived in Detroit my whole life. But most fans here for example hate Chicago teams with a passion. I give props to them when they win, but I don't root for them unless I have a wager on them. Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, Cubs....us Detroiters despise those teams and anyone that roots for them. But we are probably one of the more hardcore sports cities in America. I think that us Chicago and Boston are the three top sports cities in the country for all 4 sports. I'm sure that it's different in England with soccer. It's hardcore over there between clubs. There's a lot of gangs and stuff that rep teams

So you're comparing Detroit with Chicago & Boston as top sport cities huh?

[teaserpleaser]

[muldoon]

Indians and pakis fukking hate each other...and all races can be racist. Everyone just talks about whites racist

[Menses]

Royals are a bunch of white players with high baseball iqs. That's why the cards win. Because they pick up white guys with the occasional mexican/black here and there. That's why Pirates won't win. Too many blacks. Astros? Too many Mexicans. My Tigers? Too many Mexicans too. Giants? Mostly white guys with just some mexicans sprinkled in.

mods?

This thread turned hilarious

[mikefan1034]

Laker can we fight already I want to knock ur ass out

[Seto]

I don't agree with giant often but this is 100% accurate. Grown ass men fighting and bitching over teams they don't play for or work for is absolutely ridiculous.

I'm a fan of whatever team my money is on any given day. I do have rooting interest in teams without money involved but if they lose I could give a fukk

You seem to be taking your opinion for a fact. There is no such thing as something being "accurate" or not in this case. You can live your life however you want to but don't try to force that on other people. Thanks.

[Seto]

Seto---I would say most big rivalries are within division, not necessarily the same city or area

As a Jets fan for example I hate Miami, Buffalo, and New England but close teams like Philly and the Giants arent really rivals because they play in the NFC....More just trash talk amongst fans but it's not a real rivalry

Also a Yankee fan and I'll be rooting for the Mets tomorrow....but wanted to see Toronto knocked out

Also college rivalries are huge here...bigger than most pro sports

I always compared College football most closely to European Soccer

Yeah ok I guess it works differently. I've heard the college comparison before. To be honest I really don't get the whole college sports thing (as in why anyone would rather watch college kids play than pros) but I guess I would if I had gone to college in the US.

Your response makes no sense..how am forcing other people to act a certain way??

Perhaps wrong choice of words but it's not hard to understand what I meant. If you think it's ridiculous for someone to be emotionally attached to a sports team, that's cool, but I don't see how it's an "accurate" statement. Different people are allowed to like different things in different ways.

My opinion is I think it's ridiculous for grown men to act crazy over sports teams when they win or lose but I'm not forcing it on them

Yup key word = your opinion. And that's cool.

Going crazy over sports can be awesome. I certainly know I wouldn't have my life any other way.

I'm just a gambler Seto so I may root for a team but will bet against them in a minute

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Well, what is crazy?

I think we are all crazy in our own ways.

We all have our idiosyncrasies.
