Question: Why do people take soccer so seriously?

Deleted Answer: 1 - The 1993 Stanley Cup Riot occurred in Montreal after the Montreal Canadiens won their 24th Stanley Cup. Fans poured out of the Montreal Forum and began to commit acts of vandalism and violence while their team was celebrating inside. In the epicenter of the riots, Ste. Catherine St., stores were looted and police cruisers were set ablaze. The riots caused $2.5 million dollars in damage. At the high point of the riot 980 officers were dispatched and they made 115 arrests. The police reported 47 police cars damaged, 8 of those 47 cars were completely destroyed. Of the rioters, 168 were arrested after they broke windows, looted stores and set fires. Some of the rioters were suspected of planning to loot stores using the riot as a decoy. 2 - The 1994 Stanley Cup Riot (or sometimes called the Robson Riot) occurred in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on the evening of June 14, 1994 and continued into the following morning. The riot arose after Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals in which the Vancouver Canucks lost to the New York Rangers. 3 - The Michigan State University student riot is an event that took place on and around the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan on the night of March 27, 1999. Following a loss by MSU's basketball team to Duke University in the NCAA Final Four, approximately 5,000 (10,000 by early newspaper reports) students and non-students gathered throughout the outside of campus.

Update:

This was not a footballing question. The question was clearly about why football had so much violence compared to other sports. I was merely highlighting violence happens in every sports.

Was my question deleted because I was dead right?

Or was it because I called the Asker a "SOB"?
