There are a few.
But you have to remember alot of them are just fans of "Championship Wins".
It's a cool team to root for.
And how can you 'just tell' they're jumping on the bandwagon? Do you live in Philly?
Using your line of reasoning, I can 'just tell' that you're an idiot.

I'm pretty sure dickay is joking. Which is why I rolled the eyes.
But I could be wrong.
He's probably a Mets fan. Poor guy.
Who knows. He's shown that he dislikes "bandwagon fans" rather strongly before. I'd guess it was half-jokingly/half-seriousQuote:

I must admit, hearing the news of the Philly pandemonium made me feel a smidgen of smugness as well - a-ha, it's not just Boston that goes nuts for a World Series Win. I think Boston fans unfairly got the bad end of the stick...but then again, a girl was killed, which was a horrible, horrible tragedy. Hopefully the Philly celebrations don't get so out of hand.
Are you kidding? Boston doesn't hold a candle to Detroit's or Montreal's (or was it Toronto? I forget) "celebrations"!Quote:

I would hate to see what would happen to Chicago if the Cubs actually won one. There's always a few that have to ruin it for everyone else
Don't worry, they will never win, so you can be at peaceQuote:

That would be Montreal...the lingering image in my mind is numerous police cars on fire.Quote:

Even in fictional worlds, the Cubs are doomed. :D
I have it, on good authority, that most of the celebrants were Canadians, long-despairing of their own various sports teams doing anything notable...Quote:

The last time a Montreal Canadien team won that, was before even I wasQuote:

You were born after June of 1993?
:eek:

That's my version of "I'm only 39" ...anyway, we English will always exaggerate anything, for a laugh! :DQuote:

And as pointed out before...no American/Canadian 'riot' can hold a candle to what goes on in Soccer riots.Quote:

We had riots in Minneapolis after the Gophers won the NCAA hockey title a few years back.
Top that!
Again, Edmonton had riots when the Oilers made the Finals before they were even OVER. And they DIDN'T END UP WINNING.
