The advent of the "vuvu horn" and the passion with which South African hooligans fans defend it as part of the "essential experience" and "tradition" have only served as further evidence of a long-held opinion of mine: fans of any game known as "football" will fiercely assert their right to be huge, inconsiderate, destructive jerks to everyone else unlucky enough to share the same city, let alone stadium, as their big event(s).

(And I actually enjoy soccer, as a casual player. Or used to.)
