Could we please stop comparing riots involving people who are upset
about social issues to riots involving people who are upset/happy about
sporting events? The only thing those scenarios have in common is that
in each case the people who are rioting are idiots. I have no problems
with a protest. I don't care if people have a parade or a party. Only a
fool wreaks havoc and destroys things or hurts innocent people out of
anger or joy.
I will also point out that when I've seen coverage of
people rioting after a sporting event, the general vibe of the report
was something akin to "look at these dumbasses" and not "check out these
merry people showing their enthusiasm for sports. Hooray for them!"
