One match. MLS has played over a decade here without a brawl.

I’ve seen plenty of fights at College & NFL games I’ve been to.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

Fights and skirmishes are different from brawls … many soccer brawls have cost lives, not many lives have been lost at football, basketball outings in the US. Hooligans abound in the stands of world soccer games just looking for a reason to engage in fisticuffs.

The only reason these brawls haven’t become common in the US, we don’t like soccer, we believe in sportsmanship and for the most part … we are still somewhat civilized.

You like soccer, fine … most Americans don’t, otherwise it would be a popular sport … golf is more popular. The only reason soccer is even played in the US; it is cheaper (equipment wise) than many sports.
