Why does the international phenomenon of football hooliganism not manifest

[Option D]

itself in popular American sports?

Discuss....

im not sure.. but it needs to

[CalvinH]

Because the international world is full of scum.

i think in the usa men are too fat to get up from the stadium seat. the effort to drag themselves to the hotdog booth is more than enough.

This is true. Americans are not alpha-males.

2. We're for the most part civilized and realize there's to life than a favorite team or sport.

because your teams move up as soon as they think they can make more money in some other city, but watching some amercan games on tv ( 'american'football, baseball etc ) , your fans are totaly passionless , just endless shots of people eating, some may move those big foam thumb things from time to time, pretty piss poor efforts all round

all football fans are brainwashed, somthing the us will never comprehend, and thats why you will never understand the beautiful game...

Because USA don't have boring pointless sport like soccer. Where the fans get bored out of their minds for 2 hours and rather fight each other.

[local hero]

no you have infinitely more boring sports where the fans choose to eat rather than watch

eating at all time is simply routine in USA.  where 50% are bodybuilders in bulking at any time

[Dreadlifter]

Not hooliganism, but how many times have you seen news footage of fans rioting and tearing a city apart when their team's won?

[noc]

Because in America, fans are consumers, there to be entertained and to take in as much marketing as possible.

The concept of a draw doesn't even exist, because the consumer would feel cheated, as they munch on their hot dog and drink their pathetic weak 'beer'.

that's not true.  it certainly happens, but much rarer these days.  the market research done ahead of time is usually spot on in deciding if a town needs another team / needs to move.

to answer the op's question, it doesn't exist as much in america because we watch the games and then go fuck someone's mom after the game, while Euros likes to wrestle with other men.
