If you want to know why I'm against storming the field.

I understand this is absolutely worse case scenario but it's just a matter of time before someone dies from doing it. Jamming a ton of people into a confined area is always a bad idea.

Agree. It's dangerous for the fans and the players on the field. Getting on the field usually involves going over
a wall. If someone falls others are going to run over him or her. A recruits mother injured an ankle in a Kentucky field storming.
 
We’re all gonna end up as bubble boy, vaxxed up, regulated to our homes 24 hours a day because car wrecks and colds and stuff.

Y’all get plenty of cereal.

That's fine except for the inevitable lawsuits. When it happens I want a lot of people on here saying that their death was just the cost of having fun and if they are on the jury they tell the family suing that they get nothing.

If I’m on the jury, the families of people doing stupid things will get a goose egg.
 
Can't really make the comparison to american football team fans storming the field to soccer fans in other countries. Soccer crowds over seas get really crazy.
 
Look, I get what the OP is saying. But first, we’re talking about a third world country and soccer fans in other countries are insane anyway. We think we have rabid fans but they pale in comparison to fans like this. Nothing of this magnitude has ever happened in the states as a result of fans storming the field. I’m really not concerned that it ever will.
 
I’m a old man so I remember the Wisconsin students trampling each other after they beat Michigan. It was about 25-30 years ago and close to 100 students were hurt. That was a scary situation but I don’t remember anyone dying.
 
There’s something else going on here. From the videos and pictures I’m not sure how that many could have died in that? It was more dangerous in the stampede following Phil Mickelson up the 18th hole at Kiawah.
