Think "Ugly" American Fans are bad?

And you thought the Ron Artest incident was bad? We don't have incidents even close to this here.

Could you imagine the endless ESPN stories for months if this happened in the US?

I wonder how you sneak flares into a sports arena.

ESPN would have non-stop coverage of this if it happened in America.

I'd imagine this is almost a good day in Serbia.

I was at this game....

NOV. 10, 1997
The Flare Gun Game

During a nationally televised game against the San Francisco 49ers, an Eagles fan shoots a flare gun into some empty seats and there are more than 60 fights, prompting the city to set up "Eagles Court" at the Vet to arrest and convict unruly fans.

Funny thing is, the starting point guard for the Home team, Red Star, is Antonio Burks and the starting point guard for the Greek team PAOK Athens was Darius Washington. Both played at the University of Memphis. I think this crowd was just anti-Memphis.
