The Phillies won the World Series last night. Good for all of us, I say. One less east coast city that can bitch and moan about not winning a championship.
One thing I don't yet fully understand is the rioting after winning a sporting event. I can understand a riot after losing; even players throw gear and smash up locker rooms after a tough loss. But after a win? Sure, go out and celebrate! Dance in the streets! Pee in the alleys! Drink til you puke blood! I just don't understand the euphoria that comes from tearing down a street sign. "I TOTALLY JUST FUCKED UP SOMEONE'S MAPQUEST TRIP TOMORROW! WOO, GO PHILLIES!" (To all you doubters out there: I've actually torn down a road sign before, not because of a sporting event. It's not too exciting).
That being said, I would love to see a pro sports team completely trash their own stadium after winning. Just get fucking blitzed and start fights with each other. And the whole thing should be televised so we can see the progression from the gay-porn champagne showers to bludgeoning each other with broken bottles and baseball bats.
Anyway, if fans are going to riot, Americans really need to take some notes from the soccer hooligans across the pond:
Throw a scooter next time Phussies.
