Certainly does not help to curtail shootings i'll give you that. As usual after such a shooting the president, Biden in this case, makes the usual inane comment about controlling gun ownership.

@Moravian speak for yourself, please. Gun ownership is totally out of control here. The NRA owns legislators and that must stop.

@pamagain I agree with you. I am speaking as an observer from accross the pond who has friends and relatives in the USA. I have travelled widely in the USA and have always found the people friendly and welcoming but there is always the very slight chance that I could find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Not really surprising as watching American football or baseball would lull anyone into a soporific state. I agree with you about football. Many teams have "casuals" who just want to make trouble.
Now Rugby union, which has a passing resemblance to American football, the ball looks similar , is a different thing altogether.
We are currently half way through the six nations competition. There is no segregation of supporters and they are considered mature enough to have a drink without causing trouble.
In last Saturday's game between Scotland and France Scotland were denied a game winning try by inept refereeing and all that happened was that the referee was booed by the Scotland supporters . If a similar thing had happened at a football match there would probably ahve been a riot.

@Druvius
A bit like cricket. Here is the Monty Pyrthon guide to the game =
Never mind Python, it's quite simple . .

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
