denis bider: Joseph - well, people like you aren't the ones who need to be accompanied to the stadium by the police.

True enough, but the point I was making was that Eliezer's statement that football would not exist without the truck driver in-group/out-group mentality is false.

And that was Eliezer's non sequitur response to my pointing out that his previous statement, below, is nonsense.

Why are professional football players better paid than truck drivers? Because the truck driver divides the world into favorite-Team and Rival-Team.
