Another Kind of Fanaticism

It has happened once again. A celebration of a sports victory turned ugly, when about 100 San Francisco Giants fans went on a rampage late last night. The sport may be different and the continent also, but, for some crazy reason, there are people who take to the streets in a frenzy over a championship and turn violent and go wild. Some of it may be attributed to excessive drinking or the use of drugs, but even factoring that in,  there seems to be a predisposition to violence in many sports fans all around the world.

Come to think of it, the word "fan" is short for fanatic.
