    There’s a university not far from me that regularly burns couches for big games. Two years in a row, fans have taken uprights from football stadiums and thrown them in lakes/rivers. There’s usually a game or two per year that cars get flipped or other vandalism.

    The NFL is really good at killing reporting, but fights among fans are fairly common and people have died this year from them.

    The US has hooligans.

      Fair points. Yea I guess we just got our own breed of them. I think the only reason it’s really different is that most of the fan bases are too separated to do the gang fight thing like they do in some places.
