But, I repeat and extend my previous statement. Sports is entertainment. If an author kills off a character that I liked in a book or movie, I might be upset about it, but I'm not going to riot. Feel free to root for your team, but don't pretend that you affected the outcome (unless you are that guy from Chicago who grabbed the ball last year).
I have no opinion on the matter of alcohol.

I agree a person shouldn't riot. However, I disagree with you on the fans not affecting the outcome. How many times do you hear about the stadium being quiet or the stadium being racous? For the most part the players respond better with the crowd behind them. This is more noticible in football. You're a pats fan. So when you and the rest of the 60,000 fans are screaming their heads off, and you make the opposing offensive line move to early because they can't hear the snap count. You've helped the team. So I say a fan is as much a part of the team as the players themselves. We might not play but we are an extension.
