The nice things about US sports is that the kind of violence we see in 
soccer matches in many European countries is largely absent. I have been to 
many Gator football games, also against hated opponents like Georgia or 
Florida State, and to pro football and baseball games--all thoroughly 
enjoyable family events.

Cheers,
Nathan
