Yeah, why does supporting one sport team mean that you have to feel offended by the existence of other ones?

Yes, rugby. Mixed fans, no problems. Self-policing of any idiots who want to act like schoolchildren.

Rugby has a lot more camradarie between teams than other sports, so i guess its to be expected with their fans

Because sports is gang like mentality. Some people get really bad and fight. That's why football(soccer) has to separate fans. That's why American football can get dangerous if you sit in a sea of the opposition fans. It's humans doing tribalism shit

Jeez in England he would have been torn limb from limb. We have to have separate pubs for home and visitor supporters on match days

100%. It’s certanly mellowed when I was a kid. There’s 2 teams in our city and pubs were either red,blue or no team colours allowed when I was younger

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.

I know in MLS supporters are separate sections of home and away, but general areas can get smattering of away folks and rarely anything comes of it.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but a lot of people here view sport as fun entertainment rather than tribal.

Did you mean to say "should have"?
Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'.

It’s great that’s it’s actually possible. In many soccer stadiums he would not have even survived getting to his seat in a shirt of the other team.
