Hehehehe - as I read it, most of the posts in this thread are of the "good-natured piss-taking" variety.
In fact I believe there is an 11th Commandment, which got cut in the final edit: Wherever two or more Brits shall be, good-natured piss-taking shall commenceth.

Your point about NFL vs Football hooliganism is very valid.
When I was in NO for IA2000, on the Sat night, there was one or more shootings as a result of rival fans clashing after a college football game. So, I'm not sure trouble is exclusive to footie. It'd be nice if there wasn't any.
The NFL is franchise based & teams move around, so as such it's probaly hard to get all tribal about it, except for some face-painting & costume-wearing. Footie has for some reason always been urban based and rivalries are a big part of it.
