    Could’ve been worse; the kid could have put on an Eagles jersey.

    It is the pettiness that makes a good sports rivalry.

    When a student conned fans of a rival team to hold up placards proclaiming:WE SUCK it was a well contrived prank. When students from West Point and Annapolis demonstrate ‘tactical skills’ in snatching mascots from their rivals animals are not harmed.

    However, the recent vulgar and boorish display of Rutgers fans when their knuckle-draggers injured a Navy player may demonstrate that Don Imus did not go far enough.

    Ludicrous extremes of ‘sports rivalry’ that involve gratuitous vulgarity and even violence may be a warning that some have had an ovedose of bread and circus.

    I always wondered about the popularity of soccer in the UK. The sport isn’t nearly as violent as American football, but the soccer fans make up for it.

    Dis, soccer is easily as violent as football, but without all the protective gear. I have the scars to prove it. Oh, and GO REDSKINS!!!
