Americans have mocked Brits for approaching Black Friday in a €œpolite
and orderly" fashion.

Black Friday, an American tradition, has become notorious in the country
for chaos and violence between shoppers. But as Twitter users pointed
out this was not reflected in the UK.

Yes we have a few idiots at *some* football matches, but then most
countries have their unsavoury characters. The US is no different, you
have the KKK, which is obviously not representative of the US as a whole.

Extract from the Wiki link that you posted:

"since the 1980s and well into the 1990s the UK government has led a
widescale crackdown on football related violence. While football
hooliganism has been a growing concern in some other European countries
in recent years, British football fans now tend to have a better
reputation abroad."

Anybody watching a soccer match is an idiot. 22 blokes kicking a little
ball up and down, ffs there's more interesting things in life.


Cricket? That's rather like American baseball where nothing much
happens, isn't it?
