Football fans, in general, don't do that either. And I'm sure all rugby players dont piss all over the pub.
But I don't think any one group is 'better' behaved.
In my experience, I have witnessed both groups being wankers. I live somewhere that has two football teams, and it's not divided geographically or by religion, so that kind of thing doesn't happen where I live, but I know it does elsewhere. I just think anyone's capable of being wankers especially when they're buoyed up by booze and their sport. I wouldn't defend either group, even though the majority are just normal people with a season ticket and a scarf.

I've spent a fair amount of time living in East and South London
and now Edinburgh, and spent plenty of time in South Wales . I can categorically state that football fans do, in general, absolutely do that. All the time. Being caught in the middle of a a few hundred Cardiff and Swansea fans going at it is not an experience that I wish to repeat. Or being anywhere near Millwall. Or being on a train in Southern Germany when 1860 fans stormed it to get at Bayern fans. Or running battles in Rome after a Roma/Lazio game. Or anywhere I've been in Eastern Europe, really.

So, yeah, I agree that I won't condone either but in my experience football generates a whole heap higher level of cunt. I know your experince differs of course, I'm just saying why my feelings about it are so strong.
