    I don't think I've ever seen MLS fans act like the Pistons fans last night or like Mets fans and throw batteries at players. Let's not forget Browns fans throwing snowballs at players and officials either.

    The funny thing is how when there is a brawl at a soccer game in another country, the sport usually gets blamed. Nobody blames the sports when it happens in the US.

    Or the NY Football Giants fans who a few years ago set fire to the seats, and then threw bottle wrapped snowballs at the referee......

    Now if that ever happened at a Metorstars game........ "Communist/Socialist soccer hooligans invade our country!"

    ...or half of what the Philadelphia Eagles fans do. I've heard bad stories about 'em. And of course the riots that happen after anybody wins a championship.

    Didn't know where else to put this, so I'll throw it in here.

    ESPN columnist calling for the NBA to discipline the Pacers and Pistons like the FA disciplined Cantona, FIFA closes matches, etc. Sounds good to me.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&id=1928030

    Might as well add fences and barbed wire in NBA arenas too.

    Personally, I like soccer's discipline system. I just think there should be two refs on the field, we depend too much on one guy who is always too far away.

    I just wish MLS fans would quit with the "Ole" song. They need a new songbook. Anybody who has been to a Seminole football game understands how anoying a chant can be when it's repeated 27 times during the course of one game.

    Nothing compares to "Rocky Top" at a University of Tennessee game, trust me. It is played so much, your mind just ends of up writing it off as ambient noise. I read somewhere it is played an average of 70-something times a game.
