Rocky IV is on and I wonder in the history of sports had the home crowd ever switched sides?
More than once I've seen LSU get behind and some middle aged superfan starts pulling for them to lose so the head coach will get fired. Seen it happen with both Miles and Orgeron.

During the Olympics, the original Dream Team was practically worshipped each game by multiple opponents' whole teams, during and after games.
But it'd be hard to tell the percentage of foreign USA chants since Americans were there, too.

This has been my theory. The Russian people were being told that Drago couldn't be beat, he was almost like a machine, the Russians rule boxing, etc.. Then Rocky goes to Russia, trains the hard way and then takes a beat down until he prevailed again that big fricking Russian. The people couldn't believe what they saw and was so amazed they started chanting Rocky.
That's not a theory, it's literally what happened in the film, you dunce.

Great "theory." Turns out that's exactly what happens in the movie.
My theory was why they started cheering for Rocky you dumb shite.
Yes they started cheering for Rocky and the question is why did they. I am saying its because the Russian people were told they had this unstoppable boxer that no one could beat. That they made a human the closes thing to a machine as possible then an American went over there and with pure heart beat the frick out of him. So they did it to sort of rebel.

The Russian crowds did not hate the USA or Rocky. They hated their government and were so inspired by the underdog Rocky that they decided to throw caution to the wind and let their true feelings be known. Rocky was the crowd, the plebs. Drago was the Communist Party.

I suspect that if Rocky were to box a hero of Red China here in the USA, many of my fellow Americans would be rooting for China - and it would NOT be because they hate Rocky movies.

Wasn’t the Russian woman manager Stallone’s real wife at that time?
Brigitte Nielsen. Total trainwreck.
Did one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Red Sonja with Schwarzenegger. Just godawful dreck.
