World Cup Soccer: the hidden killer. German scientists dispatch their top men to understand exactly how wrong things can go when you celebrate a World Cup victory by piling drunk fans into a car and performing a low-speed victory parade. Of course, this simulation clearly needs some work. Among the obvious missing factors: a keg of beer in the back seat, three inches of oversteer-inducing vomit on the road, and a healthy serving of casual racism. Ah, football!

Is this just a casual provocation or you actually meant something by relating racism and football?
The kegs of beer and the vomit stand though, they aesthetically complement the team colours.

Both, I suppose. But then, my exposure to football culture took place in Europe… your mileage may vary.

Of course there is a lot of racism around Euro football, I am not disputing that.
It’s just mentioning racism with football on a car site does not make much sense, it just serves to earn cheap points with oversimplifying Americans.
Having said that, it is clear Larry Bird is included among the basketball greatest only because he is white!
Larry’s not white, Larry’s clear.
I call bullshit on the driver using the seatbelt
