Oh for sure in Europe and even South America they'll kill ya over Soccer. There was a referee I read about some years back who players returned after the game because of a call they didn't like and beheaded him. Left his severed head on a pike. Insanity.

I've been to 12 opposing stadiums and only witnessed 2 issues and both in Pennsylvania.  Live in a poo hole act like a shithole. The game against the steelers I went to an idiot knocked beer and food out of my hand that I had just spent 30 dollars on and told me the panthers sacked. We were like 2-10 and Jimmy Clausen was our qb. I was aware. Then I went with the RIOT to the eagles game. We minded our business the entire game.  Some guy got pissed bc they were losing and launched what I think was a Pepsi straight into one of our fans chest for no reason. Northern people are miserable.

I think it is a combo of the Chuckie Cheese issue and adding booze to it. 

Some psychologists have broken down why you see all the Chuckie Cheese brawls.  Basically, you have people that have shelled out too much money and are stressed out.  They aren't even able to enjoy themselves in reality because they are deep down consumed with the cost at something that is supposed to be enjoyable. They become ticking timebombs. 

So take that, and add drinking all day to it. 

NFL games cost way too much.  Lower bowl for family of four?  Food and drinks.  Google that Sunday Funday bill.  Stadium is full of too many stressed out people spending money they don't have.

I was at the home Bears game that year, peppers’ first return to boa. Came out of the gift shop after the game and there was a pretty nasty fight between a bears fan and panthers fan

Night games make it worse with drinking 

more so for the visitors…they fly in…nothing to do all day but get drunk 

…was at a bar near tir ha Nog, years ago before a GB night game, believe it might’ve been the same night Smith broke his leg and crawled to the sidelines 

during that afternoon, some Green Bay yahoo, gets up in his chair and starts telling rape jokes 

no one stopped him, not the bar management nor where cops called   …and of course he was at the game … an extreme example but there are more of those than people realize 

I enjoy my Tito’s and bourbon …I’ve been plenty drunk in my life but never could I have behaved like that 

there need  more cops in sections and live video reviews / checks in the stands

in all my years of going, New Orleans, Patriots, GB and Pittsburgh are the worst. In that order

It's actually more common than people think when folks die to one punch.  There was a documentary either on youtube or Netflix or something I watched and there was a bunch on there talking about their regrets of taking another life with just a punch.  But like others pointed out, when you serve alcohol it's just bound to happen.

I did witness a Pat's fan launch a beer at kk short after we whipped their ass in Foxboro. That man deserved a beating.  People think they're entitled to act however they want with no repercussions and someone gets fed up. Most of the time the person getting punched has it coming

Yeah, supporters are segregated at soccer matches over here, and it can lead to a really tribal and aggressive atmosphere with law enforcement everywhere. I'm just back from Charlotte and Atlanta, and thought the mixing of supporters was a breath of fresh air, and I'd hate to see the NFL lose that. The NFL London games with all 32 jerseys on display is a brilliant atmosphere too. 

Sadly, there will always be ar5eholes that will spoil anything, and you're right that alcohol (or bevvy, as we call it here in Glasgow) is a huge aggravating factor. You can't have alcohol at a soccer match in Scotland, and I doubt we'll ever get it back (41 years now). Too many eejits (another good Glasgow word) that can't behave ruin it for the rest of us.

    • I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.  
    • I am excited! New coaching staff that has a plan and vision and finally the whole team/front office seems to be moving in lockstep. We got 2 new WRs. One in XL a rookie who looks like a beast and the other in DJ who is an absolute weapon. Excited to see Brooks and Sanders ( TE ). We got some Oline help finally. Excited to see if BY9 is the guy ( I think so, but we'll see ). Defense gets a 2nd year and hopefully some help from offense and I believe Evero can coach them to be VERY good this year. ST should be interesting because kick offs are completley new.   I was just thinking the other day I can't wait for preseason to start. Always signals the start of actual football for me. 
    • I think the people who contort themselves into a pretzel to act like the whole world is against Bryce just can't reconcile with the fact that none of this is any different than the discussions Panthers fans have had over any of the other failed QB's the last 5 years. Of course the *on field* difference is we didn't bottom out completely with any of those QB's. Appreciate your kind words.
