Teasing me yes, but I am sure you guys arent the only ones, I just wanted to Point out that it happens everywhere, and being a hippocrit is childish, just like rioting. it was really only A handfull of people that went there to start a Riot wether we won the game or not! everyone just followed along, I mean 120,000 drunk 17-30 year old's, I blame it on the Police force, this happened in 1994 and they say they werent prepared, like common wheres your head at...

It's not just the Yanks who are teasing Vancouver and BC, the rest of Canada finds it pretty hilarious too.

Somebody is a bit over sensitive.

Not to defend RIOTING, but the vast majority of those you've listed are for political or social unrest.

Comparing those to drunken fans rioting over losing a stupid game is ridiculous.

And just for clarity sake, it's ridiculous (and mock worthy) ANY time a bunch of idiots incite a riot based on a game, or concert, or whatever superficial event spurs it.

Like I said, it was not the Fan's, People (Anarchist's) went there with the Intention to Start a Riot wether Canuck's won or lost, they came with bandana's Gasoline crowbars, and everyone else just stood around cheering, and eventualy other people joined in, sort of thinking its a free ticket to be bad, but they are all on Camera, I think it is Ridiculas, Riot's are stupid, but the people that came the next day to Clean up are to be Comended, Real Fan;s dont Riot, it is a black eye, but really it wouldnt have happened if the handfull of Anarchists didnt start it!

Fair enough, I understand the importance of it, and didn't mean to diminish it's standing.

I feel the same about the Lombardi Trophy, but egads, I'd never riot over it.
