Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted June 19, 2003 OK, so the spurs are celebrating their championship. no riots, no arrests other than intoxication, no violence. 200,000 people flooded the streets of san antonio after the game, celebrating, drinking, hugging and hi-fiving complete strangers. no problems except for the unfortunate and sad incident of a woman falling out of a pickup truck and eventually dying. in the last few years, we have seen riots in LA, detroit, chicago, denver(?) and other cities. if you live in a region where roits after championships are commonplace, can you please explain why your communities can't celebrate with class and dignity like san antonio has proven in both of their runs?

Guest Powerplay Report post Posted June 19, 2003 ... Detroit didn't riot during any of it's last three cup celebrations. At least, not that I remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted June 19, 2003 ok, i hope you were being facetious. if not, then you are admitting that destroying your city is exciting and doesn't do irreparable damage to your community? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted June 19, 2003 ... Detroit didn't riot during any of it's last three cup celebrations. At least, not that I remember. i distinctly remember detroit rioting after the fist stanley cup and after the nba titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kingpk Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Feh, there were just over a MILLION people in Boston for the Patriots Superbowl victory parade. BEAT THAT!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Powerplay Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Not during the first Cup. Maybe a few rowdy people, but there wasn't any rioting that I remember. And the NBA finals was... what, 13 years ago? I don't think it's fair to use that example now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Feh, there were just over a MILLION people in Boston for the Patriots Superbowl victory parade. BEAT THAT!! I think the parade for the 1980 Phillies hit the seven digit mark. And mark my words when another Philly team wins a title there will be at least two million people there. We are desperately seeking a parade. That is what makes the whole New Jersey situation hurt so much is that their fans do so little. Fucking ingrates.
