There is an enduring truth about living in a large city: its citizens are way too intense about their sports teams. Out on the West coast, fans at Dodgers-Giants games have been beaten, stabbed and shot for supporting the wrong baseball team. Here in Chicago, a visiting Steelers fan was blinded in 2009 by some folks who attended the game for the home team; they spiked his drink with antifreeze during the post game festivities. As long as people who are losers in their daily lives count on their favorite teams to somehow bail them out and make them winners, there will always be incidents like this, although, thankfully, they are relatively rare.
