I notice the person trying to set fire to the cop car in that Facebook photo linked in an earlier post was wearing a Canucks Hockey top.

I assume he's a Hockey fan. Why on earth would anyone want to wear one of those things otherwise?

Lame argument.

How many people in the world wear Man U tops and have never been near a football ground are all of them "fans"?

A Southsider trying to discredit Hockey in the hope the Whitecaps will replace them in the heats of Vancouverites.

and you know this, how?

Maybe they went downtown with a specific thing in mind and the hockey game was a convenient excuse.

Two sets

a) There are people that like to riot.
b) There are people that like hockey.

a intersects with b = last night.

It's not actually that difficult to understand. There is no need for this 'these aren't true hockey fans' meme I see forming.

Particularly when it involves a sport which actively encourages inappropriate, senseless & utterly irrelevant violence during play..

But is it possible to be a hockey fan and not be an arsehole?

Is it possible to be a poster on this forum and not be an arsehole?

Some days I have my doubts.
