I Used to Wonder Why Sports Victories Caused Riots
I mean losing I understand but when the city's team (or college's team) is victorious? This sad headline following a black man's victory in a prizefight with a white guy is just mindnumbingly disturbing.
Wasn't there a riot in Los Angeles ten or fifteen years ago when the Dodgers or the Lakers won the Championship? I recall a police car or two being overturned and burned.
I have a book titled At Good Old Siwash: a collection of short stories about college hijinks circa 1900. Hijinks like overturning a streetcar on the way back from a victory by the debate team.
Hey, there was a 1910 film about that fight.
