No, WE don't act like hoodlums. There are some unfortunate cases where some ghetto ass feels the need to stir things up. There have been PLENTY of successful events held downtown all year round where things go smoothly and without incident.

I don't know what Disco Demolition night is, but Detroit has celebrated, in the streets, more than a few championships which have only included good times. In MY lifetime I don't recall any riots or a need for police to break up celebrations because of fighting. The only serious incident that has happened was obviously this, and the Fireworks shooting.

Everyone outside of Detroit only sees the negative things about it because they aren't there to witness all the wonderful things the city has to offer. They can only see what the media shows, which we all know is usually negative events.

You saying all of that makes you no better than those who are against Greek organizations. WE all know what we are good for, but it's unfortunate that outsiders cannot understand.

I never said that it was alright what those people did, but they are not the "professionals" in the situation. All I said was that the players shouldn't have jumped into the stands. Anyone who sues is just pretty much stupid and looking for money, unless they were an innocent bystander who got injured. And in that case who knows who would be the defendant cuz it was all just a clusterfuck.

Please remember, a few dumbfucks don't make up the city of Detroit. It's embarrassing enough that they acted like that, so why put us down and general all of this city, who is working it's ASS off to build its rep?

And if it doesn't change your mind about our reputation, then screw you and anyone else who feels that way. We don't need more people bringing down something that is trying to be brought up.
