Must I answer this?
but if you have left your house for somewhere else than you must see a much more civil society than i have.
Actually , I do notice a difference between a hockey(WWF-NASCAR) crowd and the mainstream populous, thank you very much.
drunk people always have been and always will be here.
people are more aggressive, especially kids these days. not just the hockey fan kids, kids in general.
I concur, but I really wasn't speaking of kids; mostly the washed up 30 and 40 somethings who live vicariously through the thuggary they witness on the ice lately.
whether you're at school, a hockey game, or the mall a lot of people wear WWF paraphenelia-it's very popular right now.
Hmmm....within which socio-economic sector??
this is not a canada-america issue or a hockey or even sports issue.
it is society and it reflects its ugly head in everything.
I'm not sure I agree here. I would have to say I attend more college sports events than professional..at venues that do not sell alcohol. (Now, I'm not saying alcohol is the root of all evils. Many people, including myself can consume with responsibilty.) But the absence of beer in the stands definitely keeps the dirt bag population to a minimum at these games.
