FC Dallas - my first game of the year.
Outside of movies I do have some other interests. A big one is a love of sports. Some of the sports I enjoy are off the mainstream choices. Last night instead on watching the Mavericks, as most Dallas sports fans would, I took in the FC Dallas game.
This was my first game to see in awhile. I was wearing my Spurs kit and on the walk from the parking lot I guy yelled at me “Spurs! There is the only other Spurs fan in DFW!” I ended up standing behind the group he was with, The Inferno Fans. It reminded me of being with the Raggies at Olsen Field. This is the group that played drums and constantly yells things throughout the game. Some of their taunts are pretty creative:

This is the group that played drums and constantly yells things throughout the game. Some of their taunts are pretty creative:
- When an opponent is lying dead on the turf they do a ten-count like in boxing
- When the opponent jumped up looking like they weren't touched, "Call Benny Hinn. It's a miracle"
- Directed toward the ref, "I'm blind, I'm deaf, I want to be a ref"
- At a player with a bad fro, "Michelle Akers called. She wants her hair back"
