I will give sport another chance even though I am unlikely to ever truly understand it!

I believe there´s lots of hate in other aspects of life although you seem to find it logical (like religion), and there is no reason for that to happen either. I do not see my self any different to any Jew or Muslim. The problem is that it is always a good deal 4 a few to have people hate each other, if there was no hate in religion, there will be no excuse to invade a country, right?? Bottom line is that hate is not about sports... actually in some "less popular" sports there´s no hate at all among fans! it´s just that hate is a very good way to win tons of millions now a days... unluckily, not all of us realize that!! Chris, you should really give sports another chance! not everyone is just hopping for their rival to die and suffer!! Cheers!

John Madden lived in the house behind me, and I played football in school, and in my backyard, with Michael (John and Virginia's oldest son). I am also a 49ers fan because of Jim Plunkett (old days). And, I hate the Steelers, Denver, and the Patriots ... does that help? DUDE!!! It's just life!!! When you wanted your team to get to the playoffs, or not get relegated in the tables, and a team does that to you more than once, well, you hate them. Here, matbe this will help - "America's Team". Do you know where and when that tag originated and to whom it applies? I HATED THAT SO MUCH ... 'cause they were NOT my team, dammit!!! :) "No matter where you go, there you are." (take care, and do not walk into a face slapping - that's not not cricket!) My Dad played for Man City – I therefore hate Man U … does that help? :)
