There's a riot going on right now.

It's mostly harmless now, breaking public property and flipping/burning cars being the worst.

Seriously, so a team wins an American football game so people set things on fire and riot.

Wait, why would there be a riot if they won? There should only be riots if the team loses.

It's also because Philly is Philly.

Philly is notorious for being particularly unsavory.

And for this reason, I didn't bother watching the super bowl. Two shit fan bases undeserving of the teams they have.

I remember in college, a local sports team won the championship in their sport and people on campus rioted, and I thought it was the stupidest fucking thing ever. Your team won, why the fuck would you want to destroy stuff and rampage?

Saw some guys I knew from high school, generally level-headed moderately intelligent people, saying they were going out "to riot." I asked why, and they just said, "everybody's doing it!"
I went back to my dorm, but apparently there were literal dumpster fires, cars overturned, and all sorts of other property destruction.
What really pissed me off was that in the end every student's family got a bill to pay for the damages. That's fucking bull shit, even the ones not involved. I wish the police had fucking tear gassed and tazed the lot of them and took down the identities of all involved / photographic evidence and made THOSE jerks and only them pay for the damages. Still angry about it. Sports is fucking stupid.

That's insane. Could they really just make people pay for damages just because they went to that school?

Apparently legally they can, and did. My parents paid it, but the principle of it still upsets me, and they obviously were mad, too. It was a few hundred dollars in damages per student, so it must have been pretty bad.

EDIT: And I mean, think about it. Who's gonna pay for the damage done in Philly now? The taxpayers, either city-wide or state-wide. Cops need to ID as many of the property-destroying bastards as possible and only bill them. Hell, do a wide sweep and bill anyone in the crowds, whether you saw them personally set shit on fire or not. At least they were involved, so it's still more fair than charging people who sat at home and did nothing wrong.

I think it is a mix of private companys, insurance, the city, and donation at first.
After that, anyone that does get charged with a crime involved with the riots goes towards any cost that was spent.

False, honestly. The overwhelming majority of fans are normal people who can celebrate appropriately.

It's only the few shitty fans that make the news because they're blowing shit up.
