NUMBER ONE REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA!

Fucking rampant, come on.
You cannot be fucking serious.
When were you ever in a fight at a concert? I know I have never been in a fight at a concert. I have been to over a hundred concerts, and I have only seen one fight at a concert. I saw someone blow up a portaloo at Wacken once, but that ain't the same thing.
Football fans riot every five fucking seconds, at every level of the competition. You get riots at the massive games and the tiny games. With music you are only likely to get riots or fights at the largest, most poorly organised events with the widest popular appeal (ie, the most idiots). Football fans fight in the street all the time. People actually get stabbed for supporting the wrong football team in some places.
None of this of course belies the fact that sports are for fucking morons, but hey :p

I got into a fight at a concert back in 2005. A dude who I'm pretty sure was coked up started elbowing me in the head (Quite intentionally), I tried to push him back a bit, initially figuring it was unintentional, so he elbowed me hard in the head and then took a swing at me. I got knocked over into a mosh pit when I was fifteen and got kicked repeatedly by a bunch of fucking tards.
I can't find anything purporting either argument in terms of statistic via google, but if you've got something to back up your bullshit notion that sports are any more violent than concerts, I'll stay off the boards for a week. And I mean conclusively, I don't want some bullshit one sided thing, I want definitive statistics for both sides. If you can show me statistics that prove that violence occurs more often in sports spectators than concert spectators, I'll consider this a loss.

In all of the soccer games I've been to, I've not seen a fight. But then again, I've not been to many soccer games.

Dude I think that is an uncommon situation. Maybe you are in a bad place in the world for thast kind of thing?
Mosh pits are like bizzaro zones where strange things happen. I have no statistics, but it has been my experience that intentional malacious beatings are not commonplace. Again, maybe for certain shows in certain places this is different. I really can only speak for concerts in Ontario, Quebec, and B.C., and little old Labrador.
Also, one coked up dick is not the equivalent of a riot. Single assholes are every. Violent mobs are not.
Stryc9Fuego:
I have the ultimate "shoot the shit" topic of conversation. It never goes very far except as an ice breaker, but I believe "the weather" is the most universal topic of conversation. You never hear someone talking about how it's pouring cats and dogs and how tough it was to get inside, then hear someone next to him say "FUCK YOU, JACKASS! this is the BEST FUCKING RAIN EVAR!!!"
Anyone ever heard people argue over the weather?
