In some sports stadiums, you take your life in your hands if you wear a jersey of the visiting team, while in other stadiums, it is no problem. I notice that in some stadiums, such as Green Bay’s, fans are safe wearing the gear of the visiting team.<\/p>\n
I have this picture of people in the mid-West and the north of America being particularly nice. If this is true, I wonder if this primarily has to do with religion, culture, ethnicity, race, socio-economic status, education, amount of government welfare or what? I suspect one factor does not provide the whole answer. Take race, for instance.<\/p>\n
In many countries in Europe, white fans in white stadiums are not at peace (Catholics hating Protestants and vice versa, many people hating Jews, low-class whites looking for fights with other low-class whites over sporting allegiances, etc). Despite this, I expect there’s less criminal violence in European sports stadiums than at African sports stadiums and Latin American sports stadiums. <\/p>\n
I have this idea, perhaps wish, that people who go to church or synagogue regularly are less likely to riot and to commit crime.<\/p>\n
On his radio show Apr. 22, 2014, Dennis Prager talked about his great experience attending a San Diego Padres home game but did not mention the obvious factor of race.<\/p>\n
Dennis: “The fans there were so nice that it was tempting to root for the Padres. I have rarely experienced — this sense of calm niceness. I wonder if you can measure niceness and go to various stadiums? Compare Yankee Stadium fans with Fenway Park Fans with Kansas City Royals fans? The sandlot for little kids. I was touched.”<\/p>\n
I wonder if the racial\/religious\/socio-economic make-up of Padre fans and Dodger fans and Angels fans is different.<\/p>\n
I suspect that the whiter the city in America, the whiter the crowd at a stadium, the more law abiding it is. If the city and stadium population was dominantly Oriental, it would be even more peaceful. Generally speaking, Orientals are more law abiding than — in the order of the universal crime statistics<\/a> — whites, followed by latinos and blacks.<\/p>\n If you talk to prosecutors in America, they’ll tell you that their typical Oriental defendant will say something like, “I wish to receive my punishment.” The typical white defendant will have a lot of excuses. The typical latino defendant will be proud of his crime. And the typical black defendant will blame racist police. <\/p>\n The kind of close-knit community Prager advocates is in inverse proportion to racial diversity noted<\/a> leftist Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam<\/a>, who was so upset<\/a> by the results of his study that he didn’t publish it for a decade and only then with a pro-diversity spin. Putnam found that Los Angeles, the most racially diverse of America’s cities, had the least trust<\/a>, meaning that people in such a racially mixed community tend to pull their heads in, go out less, cooperate less, and watch more TV. By contrast, the whitest cities<\/a> such as Portland<\/a> have the most neighborliness.<\/p>\n Steve Sailer<\/a> (highly regarded by psychometricians<\/a>) asked<\/a>: “Can you guess which two cities lead the list of top 50 metropolitan areas in terms of the highest percentage of adults volunteering for charity<\/a>? And which two cities came in last?” Lilly-white cities Minneapolis-St. Paul and Salt Lake City came in first, while diverse cities Miami and Las Vegas came in last.<\/p>\n A resident of Chicago, Steve Sailer<\/a> worked with his community to do good things, but In some sports stadiums, you take your life in your hands if you wear a jersey of the visiting team, while in other stadiums, it is no problem.
