Stormers vs Bulls supporters. It's not for sissies.


I recently did a very interesting experiment.  I put a picture of the new pink bulls jersey on my facebook page and got quite a strange response.  I know that the pink bulls jersey is the butt of many a joke, but all I got in response to my picture, was extreme attacks from (especially) Stormers supporters.  None of the comments were funny as I'd hoped, but they were quite aggressive.  This aggression, however, goes both ways.  Speaking to Bulls supporters, it seems that they have nothing good to say about the Stormers supporters.  'They are so arrogant', seems to be the main feeling among Bulls supporters.  Speaking in turn to Stormers supporters, they say the same thing. 'Bulls fans are so arrogant'. 

So which team's supporters are the most arrogant?  

You might say it's just a friendly rivalry?  Well, then you've never watched a Stormers/Bulls game in the same room with their fanatic supporters.  It gets crazy.  I've seen black, bloody and swollen eyes, beer flying through the air, team flags being tossed around and poked at people.  Friendships have been ruined by this rivalry, even some marriages couldn't take the pressure.  It's not for the faint hearted. 

I'm not sure there is such an intense rivalry anywhere in the world, as there is between the Bulls and the Stormers supporters.  It's something to be proud of I guess.  Just watch out what you say around these supporters, as you might end up with a black eye yourself!
