do you think they should ban this raw dangerous sport? I think yes, because I dont think this is going to be the last death we'll going to see if this sport continues
Answer
I don't think it should be banned at all. More people die in car crashes than sports and nobody screams ban cars. This was a careless mistake caused by the designer of the track. I'll grant Nodar was inexperience compared to others but he ha been training for over 4 years with no incident. I don't even want to watch the olympics because the lack of responsibility the committee is taking. All we need to hear is were sorry our track killed somebody. We make flaws to and we are sorryfor our mistake. But they take te cowards way out and not only disgrace Nodars name by saying he wa a crappy rider but insults every viwer out there by saying we never make mistakes. We are perfect. Why make changes after the fact an say your track wa perfect and safe. I it gouge to take another death on this course to wake up the committee?!? The track needs to be banned but not the sport itself.

What other cities rioted after the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
zoe
We couldn't have been the only ones upset after a big loss. Help me out, I feel like Vancouver's being victimized and I want to have something to say back to those hecklers!
Answer
Montreal by far leads the pack in hockey riots. They had riots in:
1955: Violence broke out in the streets of Montreal after star forward Maurice Richard was handed a stiff suspension. Richard broke his stick over a Boston Bruins player and hit a linesmen, causing the NHL to suspend him for all remaining games including potential playoff matches. Habs fans rioted in protest of the ruling, which many interpreted as a prejudicial decision based in part on Richard's francophone heritage. There were roughly 100 arrests and $100,000 worth of property damage during the riot.
1986 - Some 5,000 jubilant Montreal fans celebrating the Canadiens' Stanely Cup win over the Calgary Flames rampaged through the city's downtown. Officials were so poorly prepared that Quebec courts ruled police criminally negligent.
1993: Montreal's Stanley Cup victory over the Los Angeles Kings turned ugly when fans began vandalizing stores and setting police cars ablaze. Nearly 170 people were injured and more than 100 were arrested. The violence caused an estimated $2.5 million in damage.
2008: Cars were burned and downtown stores were trashed after the Canadiens beat the Boston Bruins to advance to the second round that season's playoffs.
2010: Looters smashed windows and clashed with police on Montreal's Ste-Catherine St. after the Canadiens defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in the final game of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. At least 25 people were arrested.
Also in Edmonton:
2006: When the Edmonton Oilers clinched the Western Conference title and advanced to the Stanley Cup playoffs, fans began setting fires and looting along Whyte Ave. Police made about 15 arrests and reprimanded hockey lovers for partying irresponsibly. The Oilers went on to lose the final.
By the way, Boston Celtics (a strange sport called "basketball") fans rioted in 2008 after they won.
