To make this one VERY clear, here in Europe, Sports is NOT entertainment... in fact, having it called entertainment will be considered highly offensive in some countries.
@@ashscott6068 there is, regretfully, a business part to it in the top leagues, which makes them much less enjoyable, terrible what has happened to those clubs, i feel very sorry for the fans who had their club stolen by rich f***s, i mean look at those poor confused souls in Newcastle for example...
Im from Greece been living in Cleavland Ohio for three years been to a few NBA regular season games its nice to watch the great players doing there thing but the crowds are the worst I have seen, most people dont even care about the team I just dont get it why pay for a ticket if u are not going to cheer for your team ???/ I miss the European atmosphere it makes the game so entertaining win or loose.
A lot of Americans view going to a game the same as going to the movies or going bowling. Plus, they care more about the stars than the team a lot of times.
My brother, you have to understand that in Europe each sport club have teams in all sports, football, basketball, handball, volleyball, etc.. So when you are a fan of a club you can go and support it no matter what the sport is. Saturdays you watch football and Sundays you go to the basketball game. You support the same club. That's why you get the 'crazy' ultras at any sport.
@@dlt1917 what are you talking about bruv pretty much all the teams from Germany and Spain are owned by fans even big team like Barcelona and Real Madrid are owned by supporters
FUnny thing is actually how some american Basketball commentators have been worried how European basketabll player do in NBA, couse crowd might put some pressure on players. There is Nothing NBA fans can do that scare European player. problem is opposite, European player might get used with no pressure and they might have hard time back in Europe when pressure is higher.
Dicen eso por qué en su vida han visto un vídeo de los aficionados europeos,si alguna vez ven uno se van a mear de la risa por las tonterías que decían
To me ; from what i've seen, i never been to any american game ; the difference is "money vs passion" , like in America it's more for the entertainment, in Europe it's really a passion we have for the sport, also the clubs have history behind it that often goes back to beginning of 1800's and sometimes even more, because of our table style league, it don't matter big club our smaller club, every match is important, because of the relegation, because the clubs have a reputation and standards to keep, because a lot of games are derbys or rivalries,...
In Europe we are supporters, not "fans".... We are engaged and fully committed to the team, it's not entertainment.... We can't go to a game and sit around, we got to get up and scream and sing and jump up and down and be there for our team.
in the US if the owner of a club disagrees with local authorities he can move the club to another city, so 1 day you have a local club, the next it's finished. In Europe this is not possible. Owner changes but the club does not move out of the city. So, most clubs have been around for 100+ years, this is the club your father brought you as a little kid, he was brought by his father before that, etc.
Because in our europe is tradition, years & years of pation/ love for your club ,and this is tradition from father to son to love your club ,to suport your club. Is legacy. Is love & sweat for your club not fun & sport. In our europe is :" here is your birth certificate ,here the chant for your club " period❤
The big difference between USA and Europe is that in EU you don't really go to the stadium or the arena to actually WATCH the game. You go to support your team!! Your team doesn't need you to be just like you'd be in your living room with your friend, your team needs you to be part of them. That's also the reason why you don't see people walking around, go back and forth or anykind of other activities in the stands DURING the game. You're here to SUPPORT. You're not at the mall, you can drink or eat as much as you want before, after the game or at half time, but DURING THE GAME IS PURE DISREPECT. I'm a big PSG fan, I go to the stadium since 1999 ,back when our team was terrible. In our stand, if you sit, you're out , if you don't sing, you're out, if you're not wearing some blue and red, well.....we'll sent you buy a scarf or a hat immediately. In the US you guys are customers, that doesn"t mean you don't like your team, but you go to the stadium as spectators. Of course you can scream, you can complain about the referee's decision and stuff, but like a spectator would do. I'm telling you, after a game I 'm so tired that it feels like I was on the field, we can spend minutes under a tifo, blocking your view, just so are players, the other team players and their fan can see it. When I go to a game, I know I will barely watch it and that I'll need to watch a recap later on ahahah I hope you guys will ever feel that in your life, I know in the US you consider sports more like a show . NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL are NOT national sport's feds, they're private COMPANIES, that' makes a HUGE difference.
I've been to La once and watched a Playoff game it was clippers vs Warriors and i genuinely think that when going to my brothers handball games with like 500 viewers at max the atmosphere is more hype
The first Europe part is from Greece, the name of the team is Aris. You can’t imagine how offensive is the song that they are singing 😂. I will be banned if i translate it.
In European football , the supporters are the 12th man of the team . And can often make a difference in a game . Or force managers to quite of they had enough of poor results.
There is a fundamental difference to be understood between American and European punters. In America, there are two types of people who go out to a game. does stupid dances. In Europe, especially the ultras are looking for the tribal spirit. We belong to a tribe, our team is our champions, and the opponent is actually an enemy that must be defeated. Fortunately, this mostly only happens on the field, but I would not advise anyone to use the opponent's symbols get ready and go into an ultra sector, because there are no riot police who will get you out alive. If there is something that an average ultra hates, it is provocation. Perhaps this is the reason why the majority of people in Europe do not like pretend sports, if they can watch real ones instead. I'm thinking here of pankration, American football, and the like.
The Ultras question...Many European basketball clubs are connected to football (soccer) clubs.... So fans will follow both, and that includes the ultra elements. Of course some will prefer one sport over another..
The ultras are following the team to all the sports. Some years ago we went to a bicycle race just to support the bicycle team. In Greece you will see ultras in water polo. In Hungary the same... The teams are more important than the whole nation! Because the club is our history, our passion, our religion, our political ideas!
The first European game is from late 2000s the earliest. I can tell from the banners and the uniforms and the big video screen that wasn't installed before mid 2000s . Also at same point they sing a parody of the song "why don't you get a job " from offspring that was released at 1998 . Aris fans change the lyrics and start singing also in the mid 2000s But you are right, the song at the beginning of the video is EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE !!!
money vs passion 😀 Also that everything must be 100% safe in the USA. After all, you get millions of dollars if the coffee is too hot and you spill it. In Europe you could be sued if the coffee was too cold. 😀
Money vs passion indeed. All clubs in europe were passion projects to begin with anyway, deeply rooted in society and ancient compared to NBA franchises which are more like business ventures. NBA is still the more entertaining league though, it is how it is.
Europe? Serbia, Greece, Turkey... Others just have money. But the real basketball is played in the Balkans. Please don't put the money and the game in the same sentence.
@@stephenroberts7593 Just to remind you, 5 golds from WC is in Belgrade. Besides, name me 5 euroleague titles without Balkan coach, or without MVP player from Balkan. The west without money in basketball is ZERO!!!! The word passion can not stay in the same sentence with the west. But that is another story.
IN SO MANY WAYS EUROPE IS JUST MORE MATURED THAN THE USA. THESE RIVALRIES GO BACK A LONG WAY AND ARE MORE THAN THE GAME ITSELF. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE SPORT. THE ENTERTAINMENT IS THE RIVALRY MORE SO THAN THE GAME. AS BILL SHANKLY SAID........"SOME PEOPLE SAY FOOTBALL IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU IT IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT". HE WAS RIGHT.
often in europe the very big club a several section (basket, socer, handball...) and many supporters support multiple sports. The passion is ecerywhere. It's the same in rugby in some countries!!
As an european allow me to say this, „you“ (Americans this is) go into stadiums/ arenas to get entertained especially for the major leagues. „Us“ Europeans living our teams, we’re a part of them LITERALLY the 6th/ 7th/ 12s men. We’re supporting our colors not just at home, we’re traveling to away games and show our flags and sing our songs. On the NCAA level the difference is much smaller at least via home games. Edit to answer your question, no iam not heading to ALL games but for hockey, yes mostly all i attend 45+ games of the 52 sheduled regular season games + EVERY playoff game of my team ;)
Ultras as the name suggests are "ultra fans" of their CLUB... not the teams, not the players but the club itself. if their Club has a football team they go and support, if they have a basketball team they go, hockey-curling-ruby-cricket-waterpolo whatever sports their Club has active teams they go and support them this way... ofcourse we also do have favourite sports, players and everything in between but the bottom line is we are in love with our clubs.
In Europe it's been a long time since it taken a form of hooliganism, even fascism ('we all as one' true sense of word fascism). These games in Europe - 20 years ago, people were murdering opposite teams fans. In Serbia one bum put a lit totch into the policemen's mouth, the cop barely survived, scarred for life. The fan was prosecuted but there are graffitis on buildings in urban areas saying stupid stuff like "justice for Uros (the name of the bum)". It's a gang subculture. Similar stuff happened in other European countries, stabbings, massive fights after the match, led by fan groups (gangs) etc.. USA games are family safe. In Europe, nowadays it gets there, but still gets hectic. What you see are relicts of these dangerous times. Indeed it was i tended to intimidate the visiting team or simply the other team (if fans were from the same city like Partizan and Red Star in Belgrade) or Olympiakos and Panathenaikos in Athens, etc...bloody rivalries.
"Some people go to the game just to say they went to the game" We have the other side. Some people will go to games they do NOT care for the outcome or the teams, but just to experience the fan energy. My cousin never missed to see a certain team rivalry live for over 15 years. He is a fan of one of those teams rivals. He literally doesn't care what happens on the field, he is there to sing with the fans and vibe with em.
In the NBA players feel distracted by a mascot while on the ft line. Meanwhile in Europe, in an away game 15k ppl gonna whistle so you can´t even hear your thoughts
American Patriotism is pretty....tame. "show us your patriotism" the speaker said😂😂😂 Anthem's must be sung loud and with the heart!!!❤ USA....you sound like the batteries are gone
Difference is in USA it's like you came on concert, good atmosfere but like yeee goo .... whatever team, but in Europe you get it, it's not a concert it's more sirius thing where passion for clubs run deep, we live and die with our clubs, my father and grandfather were for my hometown team and I am, and my son will be, it's not something that you choose you are born into it.
As you can see two of the three examples from Europe were the same fans/team from Greece, where the Ultras are insane anyway. It' ain't like that all over Europe, especially not for basketball. Whoever made that comparison was probably European, maybe even from Greece, and picked those examples to prove his point.
it's not like that everywhere in basketball in Europe because it's not really a very popular sport but what it shows above all is that in Europe this craze exists everywhere and is not punished expulsion because you sing too loud lol. we don't go to see a match just to have fun but to support a team, we give ourselves to support them and the players reciprocate.
Sure, it’s not like that all over Europe, but prove his point he did. And let’s not forget the nba is one team for an entire state, here it’s for a city or even a part of a city, we (in Europe) have many many more teams, we have several divisions in each country. Imagine if we only had 1 team for each country, it would be even more insane. You just can’t compare. Lastly, I wonder how often fans go support their team in the USA and how often fans go support theirs in Europe. In the USA it’s a family trip, probably once a year they go, in Europe it’s game-day and you go with your friends. Not saying there are no families, but majority aren’t with family and will be there again in 2 weeks and (maybe) follow the team on out-games. You have less of neutral fans in Europe, in the USA you go watch a game, you don’t go support a team, let alone a state or city.
You are not allowed to bring in "flares" into the stadiums in Europe. Just as you are not allowed to do that in the USA. The fans are the difference, not the rules.
God...that woman iin the frst clip! Why is it that whenever someone says "I don't eat meat", they have the kind of piercing voice that you can hear over a crowd of thousands, and they're screeching it somewhere where it's not remotely relevant? Normal people are not talking about ther diet at a basketball game.
Ultras support their whole club. If the club is in more sports then one. They will support their other times like basketball/handball too greetings from germany
Salut, tu ne peux pas imaginer la puissance des supporters, même au jeu de fléchettes c'est le feu!!! Pour réconcilier, j'ai une vidéo des meilleurs amis américains 3273

My man LilJit.. u should go to Belgrade, Serbia for C.Zvezda vs Partizan game. And then u make a video about european basketball fans. 😉
"Europe "=Greece and Serbia
it's time in the nba to have 100 breaks for advertisement, yeahh don't worry we have time to sweep the floors from the paper
Hi can you ract to we were revolutionaries by copa 90
Is a video about ultras fans of inter an italian team and tell what ultras are and what they do
Difference is in USA it's like you came on concert, good atmosfere but like yeee goo .... whatever team, but in Europe you get it, it's not a concert it's more sirius thing where passion for clubs run deep, we live and die with our clubs, my father and grandfather were for my hometown team and I am, and my son will be, it's not something that you choose you are born into it.
See the difference between sport and supporters vs entertainment and fans ?
The music to your national anthem is from an English drinking song,you have sport$$$$$ and we have passion!
As you can see two of the three examples from Europe were the same fans/team from Greece, where the Ultras are insane anyway. It' ain't like that all over Europe, especially not for basketball.
Whoever made that comparison was probably European, maybe even from Greece, and picked those examples to prove his point.
it's not like that everywhere in basketball in Europe because it's not really a very popular sport but what it shows above all is that in Europe this craze exists everywhere and is not punished expulsion because you sing too loud lol. we don't go to see a match just to have fun but to support a team, we give ourselves to support them and the players reciprocate.
Sure, it’s not like that all over Europe, but prove his point he did.
And let’s not forget the nba is one team for an entire state, here it’s for a city or even a part of a city, we (in Europe) have many many more teams, we have several divisions in each country. Imagine if we only had 1 team for each country, it would be even more insane.
You just can’t compare.
Lastly, I wonder how often fans go support their team in the USA and how often fans go support theirs in Europe. In the USA it’s a family trip, probably once a year they go, in Europe it’s game-day and you go with your friends. Not saying there are no families, but majority aren’t with family and will be there again in 2 weeks and (maybe) follow the team on out-games.
You have less of neutral fans in Europe, in the USA you go watch a game, you don’t go support a team, let alone a state or city.
More countries than greece though. The whole balkan, turkey, Israel and more..
in america it's all about making money. anything you can see was just built to make profit. in europe things were made by passion
in europe its a lifestyle in usa its more about money
I played in Serbia, brother 😂😂😂
11:10 - Red Star Belgrade fans
You are not allowed to bring in "flares" into the stadiums in Europe. Just as you are not allowed to do that in the USA. The fans are the difference, not the rules.
We Europeans are just on an other level
God...that woman iin the frst clip! Why is it that whenever someone says "I don't eat meat", they have the kind of piercing voice that you can hear over a crowd of thousands, and they're screeching it somewhere where it's not remotely relevant? Normal people are not talking about ther diet at a basketball game.
Ultras support their whole club. If the club is in more sports then one. They will support their other times like basketball/handball too
greetings from germany
Which language does this guy speak...?
In Europe we go to games to see our team play and win. Americans go to watch a show. Passion is the difference
Salut, tu ne peux pas imaginer la puissance des supporters, même au jeu de fléchettes c'est le feu!!!
Pour réconcilier, j'ai une vidéo des meilleurs amis américains
3273
This should be a sightseeing attraction for tourists 😂😂
Yes Utras got to football and basketball matches
there is no wonder about it why american players trying to reacht our teams, simply its a fact we love our team's with all heart and voice :D
This is ARIS club. The best of the best.
ARIS SALONICO
As a German every time i see americans singing the National Anthem on every fckng event i have to smirk xd
3:36 Firstly, it is called the national anthem and not a song
and secondly, the Germans and England have a very good national anthem, but the Soviet Union probably has the best
do you think he's crazy? Well, you have to see how they cheer in hockey or football in Europe and how they do in the USA 😄
That tune Sandstrom is from Finland which plays in NBA and in NHL games. Those leagues don't pay anything for that. You make billions and steal those tiny bucks from our dudes. Pay the bucks to Darude. :D
mate, you are ridiculous fans there, you don't know how to support a team, you still have a lot to learn...
For me 10:15
Aris Thessalonike 🇬🇷 from Greece
The best fans👍
In Balkans is your family your religion and your team!!!
This is one of reasons why Jokic, oncic, Antetokounpo take over NBA. Passion.
"we're gonna break the leg, break the leg"
i will say to my kids there was a time that nba was sports; better watch pepa the pig now. the fans are alike
Relegation makes it more passionate
You talk to much....I would love to hear what they saying but it is Impossible....can't watch till the end
