FFA shooting itself in the foot AGAIN

[Thryleon]

Sorry, but the exhibited behaviour is indefensible at all levels and comparing other sports to what happened isn't a sound argument.  What's with these bloody flares anyways?  Never seen one of those at the AFL.  Fancy blaming a player for what happened by pinging one back!?! There's an elephant in the room that won't be addressed - there's a section of these supporter bases that just doesn't get it. Never have, never will.  It lead to clubs getting shut down in the past and I wonder if Victory, among others, is being seriously looked at.

Collingwood vs Carlton Millenium match was the last time I saw a Flare at an AFL game.

That's a recent fight between fans, that was hidden under the table.

Not deflecting anything, but flares at the soccer is a massive cultural icon globally and only in Australia does it seem to be a huge problem.

People are idiots everywhere.  Only the soccer gets focussed on here in this fashion.  Regarding it going on too long...  That was an assertion LP claimed like it happens frequently or all the time.  The game was homogenised in 2004 and its ended up exactly where it started.
