How do you feel about those riots involving your favourite sports? Like soccer, wrestling and hockey for example and have any of you experience that kind of chaos in your home involving your favourite sports team?
Sports riots to me are absolutely disgusting, not only they cause rampage, looting, bloody feuds and drunkeness, they also showed themselves as whiny classless fools. I mean look at Vancouver for example, they rioted the city twice back in 1994 and 2011, those are when their hockey team the Vancouver Canucks twice lost the Stanley Cup Final in Game 7 to NY Rangers (1994) and the Boston Bruins (2011), fans showed themselves as bunch of whiny crybabies because their team didn't win the Stanley Cup.
There are other riots which is a different story like in Montreal, they rioted in 1993 when the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup over Los Angeles, they didn't whine and cry like Vancouver did, but they win the Cup and riots, that's also classless, Montreal started the first known riot back in the mid 50's when Montreal Canadiens legend Maurcie "Rocket" Richard was suspended for the remainder of the 1954-55 season including the playoffs when it was known as "Richard Riot", the Habs fans complained that the suspenion was to severe for their iconic player, but later Richard addressed the fans to cease the rioting and takes the suspension with this statement:
Because I always try so hard to win and had my troubles in Boston, I was suspended. At playoff time it hurts not be in the game with the boys. However, I want to do what is good for the people of Montreal and the team. So that no further harm will be done, I would like to ask everyone to get behind the team and to help the boys win from the New York Rangers and Detroit. I will take my punishment and come back next year to help the club and the younger players to win the Cup.
Richard shows a lot of class addressing the fans in Montreal back in the mid 50's, but still the fans remained classless all the time, like 1993 for winning the Cup, they rioted again in 2008 after defeating the Boston Bruins Game 7 of the Quarter-Final.
Montreal and Vacouver are pretty much known to riot in Canada re. hockey, but did you see cities like Los Angeles, New York and Boston doing the same when they lost or win the Stanley Cup? No. They never whine or go crazy like Montreal and Vancouver does, these fans over there shows a lot of class. Toronto showed class when they lost to Boston in Game 7 during the playoffs, they're heartbroken, but at least they didn't riot. Edmonton and Ottawa who's been in the Stanely Cup Final showed class when they won or lost the Stanley Cup.
If I was in the middle of the riot myself I would be disgusted and just help stop all of the chaos.
