Last school year i used my blog for my U.S History class. Now, i will be using it for my Issues in Modern America class. My blogs will go from talking about past issues, to the "now" issues. One issues that i think people don't think about its rivalries. The fights between raiders and 49ers fans is a perfect example of this. for the past few days ESPN has been exploiting the atrocity during one of the most popular shows, Sports Center. I think something that makes an American is a thirst for winning, and good competition. But, along with competition comes rivalry. I am a die-hard Chicago White Sox fan, and like most Sox fans i absolutely despise the Cubs. In the Raiders 49ers preseason game, there was a large fight in the stands during the game, and a shooting after the game. Sports, rivalries, and competition come hand-in-hand with GAMES! so shouldn't we treat it like a game? Many of us are passionate to a sport, but passion should only go so far. Killing a man because of his liking of a team is taking passion... a little too far. With rights of free speech, we as Americans also have rights of our own opinion and beliefs. In my opinion, I think the White Sox are better than the Cubs and i stand by that(mostly because its a fact), but is it wrong for me to think that? I certainly don't think so
