They are banned in europe too. They are smuggled in. But what should the security or the police do when there are 10000 hyped up ultras around those lighting the flares? The club will be fined for stuff like that by the UEFA. That is also a reason why they are all masked. They dont want to be identified cause the clubs might transfer the fine on to them.

As a German neighbour of yours (Quite literally), I disagree. It's emotional investment, not war culture.

@@Fuerwahrhalunke I disagree with your disagreement, just take a look at the balkans, everyone got a reason to hate each other for one thing or another and football is the best way to channel it without actual war.

​@@theseeker3073 ok...it's bad, but not that bad🤔

@@theseeker3073i am also german and let me say it depends on the country, specially the type of control the local government enforces. In many country’s the stadium is the only place to speak your mind against the oppression, police violence and corruption. There are way more politics involved, correct me if I am wrong but I think parts of Balkan are also in described spot. But Germany and other Top League countries mainly speak that critically against the football federations ran by their country or the UEFA. Just in some cases are their political problems involved. I, as already said, am German and do not think anyone here can judge the way these people feel in this 90mins. Not much time to let the public hear the opinion of a country.

@@OK-hr1dk Maybe there in the west it’s just police violence and stuff like that, over here it’s ultranationalism, chauvinism, xenophobia, and a bit of fascism sprinkled in there for good measure. Our governments are corrupt af, that’s a fact when a highway takes 30 years to be built (and breaks down half a year after it, because guess what, the construction company owner stole the money for himself and did the shittiest job possible, just so it’s passable). I can actually give you a recent occurence, it hasn’t been a month since a new bridge has been made and it has already got problems, like the asphalt melting and bumps appearing (Braila Bridge). Germany is well and intact, the Balkans aren’t like that (pov of the ultras), when I say that everyone got a reason to hate each other, it’s because of history, stuff that happened back in ww2, ww1, and can go back 2000 years before it. It’s complicated.

But a lot of the American clips were from college football, where the teams have deep roots (sometimes predating the NFL!) and never move. I think to understand the origins of American sporting culture, you have to delve into old-time baseball culture since it predates anything else in American sports.

@@philipmcniel4908yes but Europe is the most hardcore important land of football in history. The reason fans are like that is because they care about there club a lot more then the Americans because the history doesn’t matter as much

@@CarsFootballMusicGaming The history of MLB is older than anything in European sports; the National League (which is part of MLB) is the oldest currently-contested professional sports league in the world, having been contested since 1876. It's true that American football has grown to eclipse baseball during the Super Bowl era (but only in the US--baseball has grown massively in other countries such as Japan during that time), but baseball has a LOT of history in some US cities. For instance, the Boston Red Sox have been using the same ground since 1916--something few storied European football clubs can claim. As for college football, which (unlike the NFL) was highly popular well before the 1960s, there's actually a lot of history that people care about. Notre Dame fans, for instance, still know the meaning of "Win one for the Gipper," a line that their then-head coach is said to have used to rally the team back in 1928!

they also do it here for the atlanta braves

Here from Poland/Germany/france same!

, 😂😂😂

It's no different in Europe. You'll be patted down by the club's staff, etc... otherwise you've just never been to Europe. I think even if people are not controlled in America, there will be no ultras or hooligans like in Europe. The mentality is just completely different. In Europe, the teams are on their own and have members. In the usa, you're basically a fan of a team that's in a company, for example the nhl. In the usa, there is a lot of show, but the most important thing is a lot of show and advertising. As a fan you are shown a lot so you can go to a game without liking the game but feeling entertained. Which is not possible in europe because they have a lot more emotional fans.

My intention is not to offend, but simply to think that the USA is a safer country than Europe, from Spain to Sweden, I assure you that there is not a single school with an arch to detect firearms, or shootings in supermarkets or gangs armed with military weapons on the streets You can ask many of your compatriots who live in Europe with their children, not because they don't love the USA, because they are panicking In European stadiums they even remove the cap from plastic water bottles, prohibited cans, glass bottles, flags that advocate Nazism, Islamism, etc. But all this does not mean that people leave their voices shouting, singing, jumping, the avengers are prohibited in the stadiums that light up and are closed for a few games. If it is true that the European clubs have the Ultras Tifossi Hooligans etc and that they stick together in the street, when the police arrive on horseback, they clear the area, they stop some and they are prohibited from entering any sports venue in Europe

@@janicjost3788 IMO in Europe a lot of the top teams aren't really different in the US, except that they don't have as close of business ties with the league (and the different leagues are all under the auspices of one federation, whereas American leagues tend to be entirely self-governing). For instance, Manchester United or Chelsea FC are owned by wealthy businessmen, and when they play each other there's a "show" element to it. Now, German and some Spanish teams are a bit different; for instance, I know Germany has the 50+1 rule, though RB Leipzig is kinda stretching it to its limits and I know everyone hates them for it (even American teams don't have as close of ties with non-sports companies as that team has with Red Bull). That being said, even in Germany and Spain the mega-clubs are largely businesses with their own branding. The thing about the US is that there are a lot of things that differentiate it from European sports, but some don't come up very often. For instance, professional teams _can_ move from one city to another, but it doesn't happen all that often, and it just never will happen with some teams: For instance, the Boston Red Sox have been playing in the same stadium since 1912. And of course college football teams never move, because that would mean moving _a whole university!_ I think that in general, American sports fans attend games because they really do like to watch the sport, not just because of the spectacle. That's why they mainly tend to be loud when something exciting happens in the game (e.g. the Beastquake, or Cal Raleigh's home run last year that sent the Mariners to the MLB playoffs for the first time in over 20 years). It's just that for the most part, American culture is to actually care about people you don't really know (which comes across as fake to Europeans when they visit!), and that applies to opposing fans. At the end of the day, they're just regular people who go to work during the week and then watch their favorite team on the weekends just like you; while you might give them stick for liking a different team, the animosity isn't real, and you wouldn't want to do something to seriously hurt them in "real life." We have a saying about sports in general in the US: "It's just a game!" p.s. If you _really_ want to understand American sporting culture and its origins--before the modern glamor and commercialism--you should look into the old-time baseball culture, which predates anything else we have in American sports.

@@arjanpetersen I think you have more to worry about with American fans with they win than when they lose. (Seriously, I just know there were some Los Angeles police hoping the LA Lakers wouldn't win the NBA finals last time they were in it, just because their most rowdy fans are more likely to be misbehaved or even destructive after a win than a loss.)

Just dont show up to Chiefs games

Wow!!!!

I lived in Denver during the Elway years. The only way I could go to a game was when a season ticket holder I worked with couldn't make it & gave me his tickets. I've been in a full blown blizzard at the old Mile High Stadium, sold out. When they announce attendance they say the number of no shows & everybody BOOOOOOOSSSS. (Those are very few) ;o)

But Michigan Stadium is still bigger. ;)

Ohio State has the absolute worst fans in college sports.

Michigan stadium is the largest stadium with a seating of 107,601, followed by Beaver stadium at 106,572, Ohio comes in 3rd. These are all college stadiums. In professional terms AT&T stadium can expand to over 100,000 seats, but MetLife is considered the largest with 82,500 permanent seats. I'm not really a sports fan. I find these numbers a bit daunting. But I love looking up information. One of the most interesting things about the Michigan stadium is it was opened in 1927. I find it mind boggling that a stadium was built to hold that many people that long ago. Love your reactions and your family.

@@elainesrottenbottom296 how do you figure?!

@Seth Craft I have season tickets to another big ten team basketball & football. Ohio State is the ONLY team that I refuse to go to anymore. I give those tickets away. Their fans are rude & obnoxious and flat out unsportsmanlike. It's not just a few either. Seems to be more than the plurality.

Ed Diddle from Western Kentucky University started the tradition of waving the red towel during his tenure as head coach from 1922-1964. He was the Hilltopper’s men’s head basketball coach. Other universities in both basketball and football got the tradition from him.

and what is the difference ?

@@DAVID-ut7fg You have to be there! Lol😂 Gamecocks are a mediocre program but when they are good that stadium rocks as much or better than any other. Even some fans of better SEC programs will agree. Go watch the game when Spurrier’s team beat #1 Alabama. SC really should be a powerhouse but they can’t get out of their own way (good ole Boyz keep killing the momentum) Let’s see if they can endure the mediocrity until Beamer gets the program right. I’m a fan I just don’t believe they will let him get it done. A few losses they panic and fire people.

That's not fully true. Soccer is more than just the World Cup and Champions League. In the national soccers leagues there are rivalling clubs from different cities and regions as well, and many fans get more emotional about how their club is doing against their rival club(s) than how it is doing overall.

@@jhdix6731 facts

Football is about countries and continents? You are not from a football country i guess. Football is very much about cities. Sometimes you have a very big rivalry within ONE city. And the rivalries are much more serious and dangerous than it will ever be in the US.

If you like jumping you should check out the university of Wisconsin’s “Jump Around”! At the end of the 3rd quarter they put on the song “jump around” by House of Pain. There’s a small into but once the song starts the whole stadium stars jumping with the music! It’s crazy! You can feel the stadium moving if your in the stands!

Most countries play soccer as it has mass following,not sure about American football worldwide.

It actually cut out the loudest European chant from Greece on this compilation but if you watch "Europe's Greatest Chants" or "World's greatest chants Volumes 1,2,3 or 4" you will soon observe it is more than a slight difference, my friend.

Yeah we don't do tailgating or anything like that. Football in Europe is about socialising in bars before and after games. The main high point for a true fan is away days, going to another teams city as an away supporter and taking over the city. Its very much based in history of regions and towns that have been rivals and that culture is now shown in die hard support for your local team from day 1 until death. Its the religion. I wouldn't mind experiencing a tailgate party in the NFL but I feel it is very low-key compared to what we are brought up with.

European teams are based in the middle of their local communities so it's not even only a war culture, it's tribal.

European teams are based on locality, so like Manchester United couldnt be bought by someone in London and become London United, which adds to the ‘us vs them’ mentality of the fans. There used to be groups of fans called ultras that would meet up before/after games to have street brawls with similar groups of the opposing teams fans. I highly recommend the film Green Street if you want to see a fictionalised version.

The Eagles game was from 2009 & the two fans being pelted were 49ers fans. Luckily it hasn’t snowed in Philly this winter & 49ers fans were totally fine yesterday… Fly Eagles Fly!!

Well that only happens because Philly fans are notorious for being bad fans. If you’re in the group, anyone else wearing an Eagles jersey is family. If you’re outside the group, they are instantly hostile. So that’s how you get the bad behavior of pelting some poor 49ers fans with snowballs for daring to show up at the game.

I was in USC’s marching band (the mighty sound of the southeast) and definitely agree about 2001, even though that’s the one part of pre-game we didn’t play/was recorded 😂 but pre-game in general was my favorite thing to play/perform during my time in the band (that and the annual military halftime show)!

Also, interesting that the towels are now handed out at the entrance. I haven’t been to a game in Willy B since 2015 but at least for the student section, they used to be laid out in the stands (but maybe the student section was different from the rest of the stadium, I wouldn’t know).
