That’s one thing culturally that America does better than 99% of the rest of the world, sportsmanship in regard to visiting fans.

Granted it’s not the same everywhere, if you go to Philly, be expected to get shouted at. But if you’re going to a college football game in a midwestern state, I’ve seen home team fans buy drinks and recommend places to eat for visiting fans, regularly. Allowing other fans in the bars makes it more fun, like they are actually apart of a rivalry and that allows for banter

Even Philly's bad reputation amongst US sports fandoms is tame compared to sports fandom in the rest of the world.

that's because it's literally just other people. like other human beings, lol. they're not some eldritch creatures come to kill you and the opposing team. they just are fans of someone else...probably just because they live there.

the idea that anyone has to be outwardly, actually hostile toward anyone because of team affiliation is insane.

Did you mean to say "a part of"?
Explanation: "apart" is an adverb meaning separately, while "a part" is a noun meaning a portion.
