They both garner a bunch of rabid and obnoxious fans. I hear talk about the NBA almost everywhere. I hear fans scream at the top of their lungs about the lakers or some crap and this can happen anywhere. American football is even worse, everyone makes a big deal out of their favorite team's losses, they're more obnoxious, and everyone practically goes crazy over the superbowl. And the superbowl, is HYPED AS FUCK.
