Eck!
They get worked up like this over a game, but war victories and losses are less than a shrug of reaction. The "players" are our kids, killing and dying.
Maybe it's because the coverage is so bad, and less believable than a phony reality show.
Hooliganism usually associated with the FA has reached the commonwealths, apparently.
That contrasts oddly with the old joke: "how do you get 300 Canadians out of a swimming pool?"
Say, "get out of the pool."

It wasn't about the game at all. Win or lose, there would have been a riot; a game like this was just an excuse to turn things over, set them on fire, and loot.
Vancouver is close to where I live and I sat up late last night watching the video. It's weird to see a bookstore where you've shopped have its windows smashed in and looted on TV (though I think they probably only had use for the chocolate and Kindles). What got me was that, like all riots, there was only a small core of really active troublemakers who whip the others on - but what was different were the crowds of people standing around looking not at the riot, but at their cellphones and cameras that were making video of the riot for them to watch later. Meanwhile it was as if they felt they weren't even there - that as such spectators nothing would happen to them.
I see this happening more and more: crimes, looting, rapes etc. happening while no one intervenes, they just stand around and film it for their private jollies later. That's the sick and scary part.
Oh, and LRod: it's "Get out of the pool, please."
