    You’re arguing both sides when it’s convenient. In one response the country is full of shitty fans trying to scapegoat a single incident, in another example eight kids getting injured isn’t “much worse” overall.

    That’s not arguing “both sides”. I never said the “country is full of shitty fans” I said every fanbase has SOME shitty fans. The vast majority are normal people who just enjoy sports.

    My point is consistent. In either case, smaller incidents shouldn’t be considered worse than the much more frequent and widespread hooliganism seen around the world.

    What are you even trying to prove, that non-American hooliganism and violence is somehow more nobly hooliganistic and violent because it’s non-American?

    I’m not trying to “prove” anything. Just pointing out that your singular example is not a legit comparison to the historical violence of hooliganism in other countries. It is certainly not proof that that level of hooliganism exists in the US or is somehow worse in the US.
