Football legend Ronaldinho takes in NBA All-Star Weekend

True that, I appreciate American college sports because they try to create their own atmosphere instead of playing music so we don't have that awkward silence. It's mostly a cultural thing though, even volleyball/handball games have amazing atmospheres. The problem is when it goes from chanting, great tifos/banners, singing to chanting some fucked up things, beating eachother up, throwing flares, lighting up a bonfire in the stands, it's mostly because they are criminals/mafia acting like a soccer fans so they are pretty much bigger than the club, sometimes even protected from the police by the politicians. Basically it gets much worse than your stereotypical hooligans who beat each other up, they are like organized crime groups in some casses.

But then you have beautiful stuff from the normal fans like this or this. Oh and MLS is already having some great supporting groups with great atmospheres without any hooliganism so that's great
