by the way, you're welcome to wear the visiting team's baseball cap to a game, too. We know it's just a game.

I have absolutely no interest in sports but I feel like an important life skill is paying just enough attention to which sports teams are super important to the city you live in and making sure not to wander anywhere near the stadium's neighborhood wearing their traditional rival's colors, especially when said rival is playing. I did not wanna be anywhere near Fenway when I lived in Boston and the Sox were doing their thing. Do not risk accidentally attracting the ire of a bunch of drunk fans all wound up for the game, or by its outcome.

Shit gets weird when the city's Important Team makes it to the playoffs, too. I live in New Orleans and I always try to avoid big groups of people clearly wearing team colors for something like the Sugar Bowlbwhen I'm in the tourist zone. They are on vacation in Sin City and they are super hyped because their team's near the top and probably nothing is gonna happen but I sure don't wanna get unlucky.

It IS unlucky, whereas in the UK, you'd be lucky to escape major hostilities.

I was at Dodgers Stadium to see the Cubs in 2015. There were 1000s of Cubs hats there, and this happened to be the day Jake Arrieta threw his no-hitter against the Dodgers. Everyone was standing in the 9th, even the Dodgers fans.
