Watching Americans realise that their idea of sports is family days out waving pom poms and singing along to pop songs ha ha is the exact opposite of what happens in Europe, the fact that Americans can go to sporting events and not care who wins is an alien concept to us.

Thats true, but also the cost of the ticket is different, in the usa you have to spend a good amount of money to go to a game, in europe its a cheap activity for everyone
Summer of 1982 I was in Rome when the Italians won the World Cup. It made Mardi Gras in New Orleans look like a small party. The continuous roaring cheers from all over the city actually made my insides vibrate. It was awesome.
This is the reason why when European players come over here and they are asked how they can deal with the NBA crowds they almost all of them have to hold back a smile or a smirk because playing in NBA arenas is like nothing to them after playing in euro league games.

The difference is that clubs in europe are community institutions, sometimes 130 year old, clubs, though not the basketball teams, but the clubs them selfs, in one place, one city, built into the community. While in America the teams are a franchise, that can up and leave any time, not invested in the local community, not a part of the culture of a city beyond where there is profit to be made.

Look for Section 13 Panathinaikos fans in Greece. I lived a few blocks way from their old stadium in Athens. I'd walk out the door in the evening and knew there was a home game: the smell of tear gas in the air. Obscene chants were the least of it. There was a great interview couple of years back that a SI reporter wrote up - he was interviewing international NBA rookies and asking them if they were intimidated by playing in the LA Forum or the Boston Garden. Their replies were basically "Are you kidding me?" They old stories about buses needing armed escorts to get into the venues, D cell batteries hitting the hardcover roof of their team benches, not being able to hear their coaches yelling out the game plan before the game in their locker rooms.
This isn’t about having fun. This is about life or death. This is about your territory. This is primal love for something more than a sport…it’s love for a feeling, a tradition passed from generation to generation. For a flag. For a history. We don’t attend a game…we’re the game.
@HiasRGB No trust me I do, grew up around insane sports fans. Europeans think American sports are soft? Come to any home team game in the US wearing the other teams jersey, you'll get jumped in the parking lot and probably robbed.
"they're out there to look cool". Mate, in Europe supporting a football team is supporting your home, your community, and your identity. If we had to march into those stands in full military regaliar and sit in a pit of mud, you best believe Europeans would chant so loud that an earthquake occurs
Regarding basketball, such atmosphere happens only in the Balkans (including Greece). However, in football (soccer), such atmosphere are usual all across Europe. Of course, you also experience such atmospheres in football (soccer) games in South & Central America, North Africa, and Japan. You even have nice surprises in the North American Major League Soccer. By order of appearance: -Aris Thessaloniki (Greece) -Red Star Belgrade (Serbia) -Panathinaikos Athens (Greece)
One thing about most European/Latam teams is that each has their song or chant. And it’s very personal to their supporters. There’s a whole tradition around each club and people are LOYAL af to those traditions
There are a few things that I think make huge differences (I'm Italian-Canadian so I've seen both cultures) 1. Europeans are more emotional or it is acceptable to be more emotional, loud, and passionate. North America tends to have a more "stoic" approach. 2. European countries and cities have rivalries that go back hundreds, if not thousands of years. Literally went to war with each other and they've taken it from war to sports. People will die for their team. 3. In North America, there will be people that change teams and bandwagon where as in European countries l, that doesn't really happen because of long lineages to a team/area. 4. Tickets for sporting events in North America cost a lot more, so it really changes the crowds that are there. Corporate elite versus everyone else lol. As a history nerd, there's so many aspects to this that would make a really interesting paper 🤓
A very big group of Europeans take it very seriously. They live for this. And when it comes to football (soccer) it's a whole lot of fighting, for extras.
i really love your reaction to this bro! quite honest and on point! I live in Switzerland, if you see the Germans/Britains they go crazy about soccer where you from and support which club. It is a Kult/culture here! It's really a passion to support the team and go crazy as fans
I am in my 8th decade in London and have been attending since 1962. Some people say Football is a matter of Life and Death. I can assure you that it is more serious than that...
8:46 that's exactly what happens. In derbies or big games there can often be fights outside the stadium; therefore there is also a lot of police at these games.
As a mother, from Greece, living in the US, I can appreciate both. It’s great that I can take my son to a game and not have him come out talking like a sailor. BUT there is no passion in the US. It’s all business/money and individualism (ie I like this player and I support whatever team he plays for). In Europe, you’re born into a club and that’s it!
Here is my point of view as a father and grandfather of a 6-months-old granddaughter: Talking like a sailor is okay as long as you know when, where and to whom. You will not avoid a change of language in your kid. But you can teach the dos and don'ts about talking like a sailor. In the stadium: cool; at school not so much :)
I'm 100% sure the atmosphere in a college basketball game is a million times better than a NBA game. College basketball teams, like european basketball teams, have history and have always been tied to the one university they are from. This cultivates a much more loyal fanbase. NBA teams can up and leave if they feel like it, can't create any deep bonds or history with your club.
The difference between a college game and a European game is that in Europe they use profanities. The chants are nasty and in high tension games you don't see kids or women attending
It’s not just Europe,it’s not everywhere in Europe like this,Europe is the continent…..it’s part of Europe- the Balkans! ALL these videos are from the Balkans!!! NBA games: Got Dj👀 and signs “Make some noise” meanwhile in the Balkans-we have our voice 🥳🤯🥵 Greetings from the Balkans!❣️

Great reaction and yes, its a lot about culture. I'm from small european country in the middle of europe, and even tho we dont have great ultras like balkans/germans do, our football games still go on. The time flies when you there.. I was two weeks back and the signing and banter between fan groups was insane, but its mostly one group that tries to pump up the rest. For example.. if we do some choreo, it starts on one tribune where almost everyone is on it and signs it like 3 to 4 times as a "whole stadium..." and what we want them to do.. if its to sign, put your arms up, jump, hold shoulder to shoulder etc. Its great fun and 2 hours game feels like 20 minutes. And yes.. this goes on for the whole game..they may be few minutes where its calm, but its mostly the pauses between songs, chants, choreos, and stuff. Also.. when it comes to football, at least our club is on it with huge banners that cover whole tribune for example.. its crazy that we cant se shit for several minutes and still jump and sign undeneath a huge banner. Great experience.. if you ever will be in europe, I would recommend you to visit several games. Just be safe. Im going with ultras cause I wanna hear them, do the dances and so on..but if you wanna to just enjoy the show, most of the stadiums do have a family section where they mostly respect it if you dont join in or sit down for the whole game.. but they may still chant something towards you if its a lot of people siting down. Btw.. when I bought my last tickets for my gf, the note from the seller was "Its not right in the club zone, so.. its close but you may be allowed to sit down" Something like it. Beautiful.
As a South American i going full with the Europeans,we have the same idea with how to suport,put a American team in São Paulo,Montevideo or Buenos Aires in front a 40 or 50K rival fans with a 10K of ultras,they can probably run crying wish the mom
One thing people don't talk about when comparing American and European fans is what goes on in the car park. In America they have BBQs together and thrown beanbags through hoops. In Europe the police have to segregate opposition fans because if they don't someone is pulling a knife.
I am from Greece. I remember first time I watched NBA games on TV. Imagine how astonished I was, when I heard the fans "defense - defense - "!! I thought, wow this is some elite basketball fandom! (The songs of our fans about the opponent are mostly riddled with adult (dirty) language) 🙂
A fan in Greece died today before the match Aek vs Dinamo Zagreb from stab wounds and game was never played. Many injured with life threatning injuries and many hiding still from police in a country 1000km from home. My son wants me to take him to this game when Dinamo plays home game against AEK. Somehow Im not too sure about Greek fans not retaliating.
Alot of the stuff that is seen as mundane in europe would get you ejected from the stands in the us no cap. Reminds me of when Jokic was asked aboit the playoffs crowd in the NBA and if he was nervous, and all he could say was "I played in Serbia brother" Fyi the red team fans jumping like crazy that is the belgrade partizans a serbian team. Serbian/balkan fans on general are known to be extra wild by european standards, by american standards it must seem like the forshadowing of the apocolypse.
Red Star Belgrade, not Partizan. Red Star colours are red and white vertical stripes, and the team is known as 'red-whites'. Partizan's colours are black and white vertical stripes, and their teams are known as 'black-whites'. Making this kind of error can get you in a life threatening situation here in Serbia.
Good observations. Football is passion (another great British invention along with the internet t.v. parliamentary democracy... etc) Love all these fans
In Europe if you're at a sport event (basket, volley, football, ice hockey,..) it's automatic, it's almost genetical that you take part in chants,.. to support your club. It's all about FAITH. Yes, we're odd 😀
Europe fans really support the team they are with .. They not only go to matches but are often involved in several ways. And in the US, people are afraid of being sued .. That does not happen in Europe. 😀 Greetings from Europe.
Americans only have Civil War where they fighting each other. Europeans were fighting among themselves for 2 millennia. So there's the difference why they're so crazy. Same thing about sport. For Americans, it's sporting event. For Europeans (maybe the rest of the world as well), it's a war. You know what I mean?
This madness is history. Clubs in Europe represent the history of a city or the history of a neighborhood. A fan may not be from that place, but they identify with that history and that club. When two clubs face each other, these are the stories that are there, it's our cultures, it's our people. It doesn't matter the sport, it only matters the club. At the end of the game, if the police are not present, a confrontation between supporters is inevitable.
We are not all fit in europe to jump for that long, but the adrenaline pushes you to jump, even me when I was a proper fat bastard could jump when I want to games beacuse of all the adrenaline and excitment, its like being high on being a part of the tribe.
"We winning already, Europe ain't got nothing on us... Gimme my money." Awww, that's cute. But just you wait. I think you would be surprised how many people get arrested because of the violence that breaks out after some matches.
That’s the big difference: in the states it’s a show-that’s why „fans“ dress up! We go there to watch a game!!! When I go to my stadium I wear the oldest shoes and Trikots of my team, cause I know i will sweat and maybe be covered up by beer ⚽️🍻🤘and for sure after a game I have lost my voice!
I think the difference is that in Europe....If you support Barcelona, you support basketball, football. You support the city and the club. For a large part of the population this is not entertainment.

For us, going to support our team means being part of the game, singing to try and motivate the team to win. It is not only a day out to watch sport
its amazing what you can let people do in sports events when its a given that people arent carrying weapons
We Europeans are not fat so we need a gun because of our insecurities, our weapons are our bodys ,our fist !!!
@@morde2758 I think you meant "we dont need a gun" right?
Aris Thessaloniki fans will always have my respect how devoted they are
One thing people don't talk about when comparing American and European fans is what goes on in the car park. In America they have BBQs together and thrown beanbags through hoops. In Europe the police have to segregate opposition fans because if they don't someone is pulling a knife.
5:50 that's EXCATLY what a sports event looks like here in europe. 👍🏻
Ever been to a table tennis tournament?
@@dan_kay no 😂
This is Not Sparta, this is Europe
American fans = little kids
EUROPEAN FANS = LEVEL GOD
8:46 They do fight outside the arena, somethimes they even kill each other. look up boca x river / partizan x red star
in 1990 a game between red star and dinamo zagreb ended up in a riot a player even assaulted a cop
I am from Greece. I remember first time I watched NBA games on TV. Imagine how astonished I was, when I heard the fans "defense - defense - "!! I thought, wow this is some elite basketball fandom! (The songs of our fans about the opponent are mostly riddled with adult (dirty) language) 🙂
Germany Football Fans are Crazy
Respect American Brother! An huge from Europe!
Thats what jokic meant when he said he played in serbia. When they asked him about the negativ Crowed at a nba game
A fan in Greece died today before the match Aek vs Dinamo Zagreb from stab wounds and game was never played. Many injured with life threatning injuries and many hiding still from police in a country 1000km from home. My son wants me to take him to this game when Dinamo plays home game against AEK. Somehow Im not too sure about Greek fans not retaliating.
Alot of the stuff that is seen as mundane in europe would get you ejected from the stands in the us no cap. Reminds me of when Jokic was asked aboit the playoffs crowd in the NBA and if he was nervous, and all he could say was "I played in Serbia brother"
Fyi the red team fans jumping like crazy that is the belgrade partizans a serbian team. Serbian/balkan fans on general are known to be extra wild by european standards, by american standards it must seem like the forshadowing of the apocolypse.
Red Star Belgrade, not Partizan. Red Star colours are red and white vertical stripes, and the team is known as 'red-whites'. Partizan's colours are black and white vertical stripes, and their teams are known as 'black-whites'. Making this kind of error can get you in a life threatening situation here in Serbia.
Bro in Europe basketball is like soccer.
This is what we Europeans call home court advantage.
Good observations. Football is passion (another great British invention along with the internet t.v. parliamentary democracy... etc) Love all these fans
In Europe if you're at a sport event (basket, volley, football, ice hockey,..) it's automatic, it's almost genetical that you take part in chants,.. to support your club. It's all about FAITH. Yes, we're odd 😀
LOL they do in fact fight often outside the arena and on the streets being a ultra is no joke.
Europe fans really support the team they are with .. They not only go to matches but are often involved in several ways. And in the US, people are afraid of being sued .. That does not happen in Europe. 😀 Greetings from Europe.
americans fans have passion to their club, we have passion to our country and history
First 20 Seconds every European: "Why tf is this guy hyped?" 😂
changed your mind real fast after the first minute haha
yes us greeks love our clubs haha
Without us sports wouldn’t be the same
When it comes to their sports, Americans are Customers first, fans second.
Americans only have Civil War where they fighting each other. Europeans were fighting among themselves for 2 millennia. So there's the difference why they're so crazy.
Same thing about sport. For Americans, it's sporting event. For Europeans (maybe the rest of the world as well), it's a war. You know what I mean?
In Europe we replaced war with sports, LMFAO.
A big different is the price ticket too, you can easily find 10, 15, 20 $ tickets, you don't have to spend a lot of money.
in the united states it is bussiness in europe passion
Now you understand why european players playing in NBA are so calm...
Clearly Europe, passion, love, tension....these simple things. ......emotion and commercialization do not go together. We are human
Man this is a sport event. In America you going to watch a show in Europe we want to support our team, region, country.. we call it passion 👌🏻😁
5:51 no, this is exactly how a sporting even looks like everywhere outside the US
"They acting like they fight outside the arena if something bad happens"" yes bro... that's literally exactly what they do 😂😂
Best intro ever top reactions 🤣🤣🤣
In Europe we called it home ground... even in a schools happening this
This madness is history. Clubs in Europe represent the history of a city or the history of a neighborhood. A fan may not be from that place, but they identify with that history and that club. When two clubs face each other, these are the stories that are there, it's our cultures, it's our people. It doesn't matter the sport, it only matters the club. At the end of the game, if the police are not present, a confrontation between supporters is inevitable.
We are not all fit in europe to jump for that long, but the adrenaline pushes you to jump, even me when I was a proper fat bastard could jump when I want to games beacuse of all the adrenaline and excitment, its like being high on being a part of the tribe.
U.S.A fans is supporting the Game. European fans are supporting there Team's
500 years of culture vs 5000 years of culture
"We winning already, Europe ain't got nothing on us... Gimme my money."
Awww, that's cute. But just you wait. I think you would be surprised how many people get arrested because of the violence that breaks out after some matches.
The whole arena is filled up with fans.
In America, sport is business. There is passion in Europe. That's the difference.
Honest reaction man and good points you made there.Some rules are necessary, too many rules destroy the real fun
In Greece every match is a warzone to the point that ppl die from fans/gang wars have that in mind when you ask for more freedom haha
every american sport fan gangsta until europeans join the chat
imagine american talent with european crowds
In Europe it's passion
That’s the big difference: in the states it’s a show-that’s why „fans“ dress up! We go there to watch a game!!!
When I go to my stadium I wear the oldest shoes and Trikots of my team, cause I know i will sweat and maybe be covered up by beer ⚽️🍻🤘and for sure after a game I have lost my voice!
I think the difference is that in Europe....If you support Barcelona, you support basketball, football. You support the city and the club. For a large part of the population this is not entertainment.
hehe :D Love your reaction. Keep it up!
Serbia mekka of BBall currently home of 4Mvps World NBA EUROPE ect back to back 2 years now
