Yeah, but I think football fans are generally more passionate and especially in Britain. You see the support England take abroad for things like the World Cup for example, the Scots at Wembley last month, Celtic/Rangers, club away support and so on. And I don't mean dicks covered in merchandise with big sponge hands and 50 megapixel cameras I mean making noise and getting behind the team. Also a lot of football rivalries go deeper than football.
I hear what Goofle is saying, for example nothing touches the drama and emotion of things like the World Cup. See my thread in the sports forum, even people who don't follow the sport have posted in it.
