And yet, every year we see a city get torn apart thanks to some sports championship or other. Los Angeles, Denver, Montreal… looking out my office window, maybe it’s just as well that sports here in Washington D.C. is in such horrible shape. Most of those museums don’t react well to drunken bonfires, no doubt.

What is it about human nature that causes people’s brains to melt over something as trivial as a sports championship? Should that REALLY be a reason to flip cars and light fires? Because a bunch of millionaires you’ve never really met just won a trophy?

I’m as big of a hockey (and football) fan as anyone else, but every time a riot happens it just boggles the mind that people can take an occasion like that and turn it into pointless bedlam.
