So, this is very typical of European soccer clubs: fans from certain teams root for them based on political/social beliefs...take, for instance, this asshole from the soccer club Lazio, from Italy. Yep, that's him giving the ol' heil Hitler facist salute. And they FINE him for it. They don't even throw him out of the league!
Say whatever you want about the state of professional sports in the US - at least we don't tolerate this type of hatred.
From the article: The game featured teams whose fans have opposing political allegiances: Lazio fans waved swastika flags while Livorno fans had red Communist flags. Clashes between Livorno fans and police were reported outside the stadium before the game, with one officer slightly injured.

Oh, and while we're at it - any game that allows a 0-0 tie sucks! So screw soccer as a whole!
