[kj] Celtic fan vs Dida attack

[iPat]

oliver, come on, until i saw you write 'player', i thought you were
talking about this list. i havent seen anyone fight over sports since
i was banned from going to any football ground, so i really dont see
this violence dogma. As for overzealous sports 'jocks' (whatever thats
meant to mean?) that could be equated to any activity from sex addicts
to killing joke fanatics.
Ultimately, the focus of hatred is an excuse to hide from ones own
inadequacies..
