@FlashMobOfOne @pabloniusmonk In the NFL, murdering puppies gets you a "welcome back" and someone to personally resuscitate your public image. That's not an exaggeration. The moral bankruptcy of the NFL makes Snidely Whiplash blush.
And I think what helps in derby is that it's amateur and we've backed away from the idea of the Olympics. It's made more room for the average home team player and made it easier to focus on something other than the Hydra as the only point of the game.
