Passion Found in Strange Places

Wow, it had been a long time since I had been to Mile High Stadium on a Monday Night, or is it Invesco Field now? Whatever, corporate BS.

Anyway, It's funny how die-hard footbal fans behave (including myself). You would think they were on opposite sides of a bitter war. If you are a Broncos fan, you can spill another Bronco fan's beer, no problem. You can even become his or her best friend in less time than it takes to let the beer out at half time, just talk about kicking the other teams ass for a few minutes.

But if you are a fan of the opposite team on home terf...watch out! I have never seen so many grown men be so nice to each other in public (As long as your wearing broncos colors), and I have never seen them be so mean...Beer bottles and trash thrown at them, 60-year old men giving everyone the finger in a Chiefs jersey, you name it.
If you were a Chiefs fan last night, you were not allowed to leave the stadium until every last Broncos fan had exited (Security stopped this eventaully).

I cant' lie, I am the same way, and I love it! You boo them when they do bad, you worship them when they win, and you try to harrass and embarrass the opponet, but why?

And then is struck me...Its like peeple who are not objective, (i.e. right wing and left wing hardcore "politial thinkers.") You defend your position until the end..the evidence is insurmountable, yet you dont budge an inch...Just ask a Broncos fan, when the team is down by 75 points and there is 2 minutes left in the game, if there is a chance they can still win...It's the same concept!
