I have to say that I personally dislike it because of the Europen fans. America gets so much crap for being a "Violent socity" but how many football or basketball riots do you hear about. Sure there are some, but damn. It seems like every time I see ESPN I see some balcony or fence colapsing and the anouncer talking about how many people died.

Check out college football for more on riots. I think for the NFL there is a huge disconnect just because each major city isn't fielding a team. A large number of states don't have professional teams.
On the otherhand, colleges are everywhere, and each state fields at least 2 division 1 teams. Then you get rivalries, upsets, and usually riots. Although since these riots are usually started by college idiots, they don't result in death, more property damage.
