Thoughts on this article about hooliganism in American soccer

Article makes some good points.
I especially like this:
Hooliganism isn't the soccer tradition we want to bring to America
I especially like this:
quote:
NYCFC fans were involved in a fight with Cosmos fans that resulted in a Cosmos fan bloodied. NYCFC wasn’t a club until 2013. It didn’t play in MLS until last year. There are current Disney Channel stars who have had longer careers than anyone employed by NYCFC. There is no history with this club. There is no legacy to defend. There is no violent past, no religious conflict, no political cause, no awful incidents that would cause or create an atmosphere of violence. This is a team that started playing in 2015.

We will never have soccer hooliganism like in Europe. The worst we have is Mexican fans acting like animals in and around the stadiums.

let's give animals a little more credit here

Hooliganism will never come even remotely close to what it was in England in the 80s, what it was in Italy up until just a few years ago, or what it still is in Eastern Europe and South America. It will never be a problem that needs addressing here.

American supporters groups apeing European behavior is just so sad, just pitiful really.

White people acting the fool in the street, yeah, the cops will be all over that shite.
I mean were talking about some serious beat downs. No worries about race suits and claims of racism, so they finna eat.

This is no different than a fight in the parking lot of an NFL stadium.

LOL
The fact you are comparing what goes on in Europe to what goes on at NFL games shows you have no idea what you are talking about.

Those Russian Ultras would eat The American Outlaws alive and other typical American soccer fans. We don't come from a culture of football violence.
Don't be naive

Think he was referring to the American fights in the OP and just replied to the last post before him.
No need to cape for Europe so hard.

Fwiw I think we could gain huge home field advantage if the outlaws went 1 percenter

No, but we come from a culture of violence. If soccer was popular in the US, we'd brawl with the best of them.

American sports violence is nothing compared to Europe or other parts of the world.

On a grand scale, Americans are better at fighting than Europeans. See WW2. Just because Americans don't go around beating the shite out of each other outside of stadiums doesn't mean many of those individuals aren't fully capable of whipping arse
