A fanatic is a person filled with single-minded zeal; his passion for a cause is oft-times played out in unreasonable enthusiasm and destructive behavior. Soccer fans from around the world are the best example of over-the-top fanaticism; thank God, soccer is NOT YET America's National (Sport) Pastime!!
The American sport fan is busy enough, in this 21st century, physically attacking and beating-up opponent fans in stadium parking lots who dare wear the 'other' team's apparel. We have our hands full turning over automobiles and setting fires to property after our baseball team wins the World Series. And good deal when our college kids have their basketball team win the NCAA basketball tournament; they have good reason to get 'wasted' and engage in Sodom and Gomorrah vice like activities...after all, they are entitled!
We Americans are much like most other nations...we believe our own propaganda...we are the best...we are number ONE. By the time we reach young-adulthood, we are blinded by the smoke pouring out our own ass. We believe that God is on OUR side; expect during the Winter Olympics.
