I've lived near Michigan State University most of my life, and I've witnessed a lot of this - in fact, just a week or two ago, our men's basketball team reached the semifinals of the national tournament, and there were riots in the streets of East Lansing. But they weren't rioting against anything or anyone, just celebrating by setting fires and stuff. That's most of our sporting violence. I've heard other college campuses have the same type of thing happen.
Yeah, people love to set cars and couches and other objects and fire and loot stores and the like after a big victory, but violence against others is pretty rare at sporting events over here. We save that for school or the workplace.
