I’m sick of hearing about sports fans that riot after a big game. Are people’s lives so bankrupt that they feel the need to break shit every time a major sporting event comes to an end? I don’t know what the situation was like in Tampa Bay, but I do know that, after the Super Bowl, plenty of Raiders fans stormed the streets of Oakland and rioted just for the sake of rioting. There was no cause, and not even a remotely justifiable reason for the outburst of aggression. People weren’t protesting a grave injustice–they were, in fact, happily committing one. When the Raiders lost, people let loose and started breaking windows, flipping over cars, and setting fire to buildings. And the sad thing is, the same thing would have happened in the streets of Oakland if the Raiders had won. The post-game riots don’t even shock me anymore. But then again, they never cease to astound me, either. Human stupidity is so boundless and so enduring, that sometimes it’s almost enough to make me lose hope and stop caring. Almost.
