[> [> Subject: Re: Remember when... Author: Leb [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:27:51 04/14/05 Thu There's a reason things like those stick out. Because they are rare and because we look upon them with disgust! Not so in soccer. How many flares were thrown? One? Six? 20? From where? One section? Two? Why would you bring flares to a game? I can see one whacko grabbing a piece of equipment - like a bat - and losing control. But you have to have a little forethought to actually bring a flare to a soccer game, or are those just sold with pretzels? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

And the fact that you don't look at that incident with disgust doesn't say much for you. Oops. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Remember when... Author: ZH [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:25:30 04/14/05 Thu This is exactly what I thought soccer players would say. Give me a break. There is no other sport where acts like this happen with such regularity. It just makes it easy to not be a fan. Not fun to watch on TV, not safe to go to games in any place but the US, where the soccer is horrible. Hey guys lets go kill our goalie for messing up that play. That would be fun.

Of course not...because there's no other sport that's played professionally in almost every country in the world. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
