Fanatism...

Although I always say that I hate many things, there are really so few that I really do hate. Yesterday I went to work and I noted that many people were wearing football t-shirts from both local teams... I seriously don't know which teams are, but I think they are Rayados and Tigres, could be wrong :P

All morning I heard people talking about how one team was going to make its bitch the other one and things like that, I didn't care, football is one of the things I could not care less. After work I had to go with my aunt, it was my cousins child baptism and they invited us to their house, the food was good btw, lol.

So, while my brother and I were there we heard that it was the local rivals game, and that was our call to go home... err, to buy groceries and them home. Lucky for us they didn't watch it there, so we stayed a little longer, I met a few new people, old friends of my parents, and I really enjoyed being there.

After that we went to the mall, at this time the game was still going on, after buying everything we needed (and staying within the budged, hell yeah), we had to pick a taxi to go home, the traffic was nuts, people with the winning team flags all around, people of the other team screaming to them, I seemed that any moment there could be a riot.

Just before getting of the taxi we noted that there were many... cholos in the street, some of them yelling, other throwing rocks, I think I even saw kick a car... and we had to pass right next to them. It sucked, I was ready to falcon punch with a gallon of juice I had any of them that got near us. There was this old woman that was yelling at them and them back, it was nuts there, we just walked as fast as we could and luckily nothing happened.

This really is something I will never understand of sports... well, it's not only on sports, anything that has fans can turn into this kind of mess, how can people start doing things like that just because your team didn't win? When will people realize that it's only a game? Well, any way, that was what happened yesterday, other than that it was a pretty cool day, and pay day, so that makes it ten thousand times better.

  3. Yeah, I get sports, and it is irrational, but I get where it comes from. What isn't acceptable is the way they act, and the things they do in the name of the game...
