The American sports market has been a victim of its own success. The product has been optimized for television and not in person viewing. Cameras angles, graphic overlays, etc. I can go all day on how fans are on the outside of the changes. The money is pumped in through cooperate sponsors and TV deals. Fans aren’t as important anymore.

Serbian here. Crvena zvezda club (Belgrade, Serbia) is the one in red and white that was shown where everybody was jumping at the same time. Basketball in our country is like a religion, we dont come to games to post stories and drink beer. We come to jump and sing for 2 hours and make a show of our own. And no, it's not only pregame. Greek crowd is the only other one you can compare to Serbian.

Ohh baby girl you have no idea how crazy balkan fans can be 😂😂

European fans don´t go to a sports game. They go to a medieval battle looking like sport. ;D

Best reactor ever. Straight into the content. Obviously intelligent and well cultured. Always a pleasure to watch your vids!

No Protocol Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

Wow already 100k subscribers! I remember when you were 40k not too long ago. This channel is growing fast, rightfully so. I know you heard it multiple times by now but I still want to say how much we love and appreciate the short intros, straight the point. I'd rather hear commentary during the clips and a summary after the clip than hearing a lifestory before the video starts. All other reaction channels makes me fast forward to the reaction itself, but yours is one of a kind. Keep up the good work and I hope you grow to a million subcribers, that would be well deserved!

Panathinaikos won their seventh Euroleague title just two days ago. The emperor is back!

..yeah, was in Serbia.. ..in Spain, depends on games..specialy the international games, or derbys..Türkiye, Greece, Serbia,maybe more than others, but generaly, strong club culture everywhere..

You need to check some videos from Calcio Storico in Florence. This type of celebration at sporting events in europe goes back hundreds of years, maybe even thousands.

Europe is way more passionate about sports when I first came to the U.S. I went to an Orlando magic game and I thought it was so weird that fans from the opposing team were allowed to sit on the magic side and then there was no fights no blood or anything it was super calm there was barely any cheering lol

If I were a bench player in the NBA that was getting very little playing time. I’d go play European ball asap. Looks amazing

Congrats on 100k

they were singing "ZVEZDA leeeee", not a "BRAKE A LEG" that was CRVENA ZVEZDA from Serbia

Might suggest a quick link for Liverpool Football Club and their anthem, "You'll will never walk alone". Quite a few links for that. By the way, in the UK, most football clubs started out as teams at local factories. So, the nicknames of teams will give you an idea of the originating company. For instance, Arsenal are called the gunners.

Hi there, thank you for your content. I enjoy watching you. Random question? Your pendant that you are wearing... what kind of stone is it? My gf has a similar skin tone as you and I'd love to get her one. Ty

Great vid, cheers! You should check vids there are professionals that speak about European fan bases which would give you more ideas as they are better references than a simple youtube comment ^^ also check for English football chants if you want some fun ^^

Bit of a different one, but maybe take a look at AC/DC Live at the River Plate - Thunderstruck. The crowd there is wild

Anyone know the context of the clip where the paper and stuff were thrown on the court? It looked to be done for a reason. Or was it just for the F of it?

Might want to look up fan culture of the Raiders in the NFL. Some American college football atmospheres can be pretty intense.

American football fans chants have to be the most embarassing thing I've ever heard

I love ur videos. commentary but no stupid long intros, no plugs, no pausing every 5 secs

Wish I would have found you earlier. Awesome channel.

There is a great video on yt of American playere talking about playing in the euro league. Good video to react to.

Congrats on 100k. Nice reaction. I recommend ultra: our way of life and world best utras video (1m special)

3:54 is that Offspring? :D

Love the outfit NP This all makes me want to go to some European games

Hello. I am European, Spanish, and it is true that the atmosphere is surely more intense in European stadiums, but it is particularly higher in countries like Serbia, Turkey or Greece. All the best.

Love your content, but the orginal video has huge pacing problems. First two minutes I was thinking "why are we watching this"? Someone really needs to learn to use razor tool more. Greetings from Poland btw.

the best crowd i have been in, is in the Netherlands, where i am from, during concerts of Epica ( my favorite band ). Which is symphonic metal. Everyone is just happy and there to have a good time. Once slipped on beer, and spontaneously get picked up by 4 people i never met. Metal crowds are the best! 🤘😎🤘

In Europe you support the team of the place you were born or grew up in. Teams do not suddenly move to another city like in American football.

Greece, Serbia and Turkey. The holy Trinity of fans craziness

Also you should react to football fans from Europe (ultras)

The NBA Playoffs are a different animal. They dont dance and sing but they are intense. Watch the Celtics/Lakers - Bird vs Magic playoffs. Insane. And Madison Square Garden NY Knicks playoffs games - like the game tonight. Off the charts

Another difference is that European teams are usually "Athletic Clubs" that also have football teams and the fans bring the passions of the stadiums to the Arena. It's the same in North Africa to.a certain degree, here in Morocco for example some football fans show up to basketball or handball games to support the team even if they don't care much about the sport, just for the sake of the colours. I could say that in Europe, North Africa, Latin America, the club is like second motherland. It's very different from the franchise system in the USA. Perhaps college ball is the closest thing since universities are strongly anchored into the identity of the city or the state same as sports clubs in other parts of the world.

Many Clubs have more than a Football Team. Basketball, Rowing, Icehockey and so on. You chose one Club. Thats your Club in your Heart till the end.

You should watch european football crowds. It's insane.

Υou only live once this happened in GREECE SERBIA

1st Aris - Paok, 2nd Red Star chanting “Belgrade” not brake a leg...3rd Pao fans chanting “Horto magiko” = “Magic weed” perhaps the most intimidating chant in the world....NBA is for Boy Scouts in comparison atmosphere wise...

Yeah here in EU Homecourt advantage has a totally different meaning.

I'm from Barcelona Spain. Before there was this atmosphere, but little by little they banned flares, explosives and all this stuff. for many incidents before. and it became safer for all people. You only see this atmosphere when Barcelona vs Madrid play. And in football there is this hostile environment. It's like going to war. and if Barcelona wins the streets burn in flames. I hope this passion is never lost. I liked your video

You were right. The second and third clip, when the commentator said that this only exists in Europe, when both the camera and the floor were shaking, was from Belgrade, Serbia. Red and white army of fans! ❤

Well, with those crowds safely ensconced in a stadium it'd, at least, be safe to take a wander around the local town .... 😁

The bouncing clip said "Turkish Airlines League" and you were right: Greece and Serbia. You really MUST watch "World's Greatest Football Fans: Ultras/Europe" No violence but incredible noise and passion. 98% of the audience for those Basketball games and the Football fans' clips are Malewhereas it is a more Family affair, as you said in The NBA..

The first team from Europe is Aris in Thessaloniki of Greece one of the most gorgeous teams in the greek league. Try more to see the funs of panathinaikos, Olympiakos and paok . After this you will understand this crazy atmosphere in Europe... Also macambi Tel Aviv and fenerbache have great fans... I wish you to be always good!!

We surely love the sports ans thats why we watch.But the thing we adore is our teams.In every sport

When European players in the NBA get asked about the pressures of playing in the league and they say that they're not worried because they come from playing in Europe... THIS is why. 😳

Galatasaray - Strasbourg basketbal match in Istanbul Türkiye Look at the reaction from the Strasbourg coach when he sees the athmosphere in the stadium.

I think the passion towards football/basketball clubs in Europe comes from tradition. My father was a supporter of Dinamo Zagreb, my grandfather also, everybody in my family too. You are born into it most of the time. Its more like a religion. In United States the club is just a company that can move to another city if you have the money, in Europe the club is deeply rooted in the community for more than 100 years and in a way represents your town or entire state and all sort of views of that community. Also, supporting some clubs you are showing your political stance, sometimes showing rebelion towards some views etc. Football club is like your first love, you cannot change support to some other team, everything in life can change, but that cannot. I think the passion comes from that. There are also stuff like Ultras and hooligans, "normal" fans etc, but thats another topic :D

This is why the NBA will never become very popular in Europe. It feels way too manufactured with the music, the mascots, the half time nonsense, the celebrities sitting court side and someone singing the Star-Spangled Banner before every game

For me its the flares, like mad max. 😂

German soccer-players refer to their fans as "the 12th man on the field"

I've often wondered if the sports franchise system in America weakened bonds of identity with their host communities. It seems rather mercenary how players and even teams change locations. I would guess that some significant number of fans are more loyal to players than teams.

Red and white is Belgrade Serbia. The club is Red Star Belgrade i Combank arena. 22.000 people

Yes that was Serbia 🇷🇸

How about Chicago White Sox "Disco Demolition Night"

It's like the game is secondary!

Every game, literally every game in Europe is like that 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

In America you hear the same in any game in any city no chants specific to the team … defense defense 😵‍💫

If only we spend this much energy and passion on other more important things in life...

I would suggest watching, "American Basketball Players Talking About European Basketball Atmosphere" here on YT.

There is a great video of American basketball players that went to play in Europe discussing their experiences

Even as a Swede yeah hockey and football fans go crazy too 😂

You'll be able to find posts from American players that have played in Europe...very interesting.

Congratulations on 100k! I gotta say tho playoff basketball or march madness crowds can get crazy. Not as much as Europe with fkn flares💀 just pointing out those American clips were buns

Basketball is one sport I never really understood or followed. I think there are too many time outs near the end of the game.

I am 78 (English).... and followed football, and to a lesser degree, cricket, all my life. I have no idea if basketball is played in the UK. I guess it must be, somewhere . I guess knowing the name Michael Jordan is something! But I have never met anyone with the slightest interest in the sport.

So for the first European video: It's the derby between Aris and PAOK Thessaloniki. The power went out, that's why it was so dark and people had their phones out. Not going to translate the first chant, it's a bunch of bad words toward the opponents and their family :D.

*Tip-off* Announcer: "This game is now postponed."

4:43 Belgrade Serbia

You should watch european rugby 🏉game it s amazing

I sold my PlayStation to buy a phone to download KZfaq to watch this video.

For sheer chaos, nothing I've seen here surpasses the ending of the 2022 Alabama-Tennessee college football game, won by Tennessee on a last second field goal. The goalposts were taken down by the Tennessee fans and thrown into the Tennessee river, for Pete's sake. That said, the Europeans here were more intense than the American ones in my view. Flares? Crazy! And it seemed more of the crowd was involved than with the US examples. There may be some cultural factors at work too. Of course, these examples are cherry-picked; there are US videos that are quite intense.

Balkan people haven't gone to war for like.. 10 years so they go to basketball matches and pretend like it's a war.

Where is that, you asked ? Home court of Red Star Belgrade, Serbia.

The frequency of games matters. NBA, MLB and College Basketball play too many games... fans don't get as excited by 4 games a week. Monday Night or Thursday night Football is an event. I wonder if that is part of the difference?

In Europe home court advantage means lot more then in NBA home court advantage.

Tbh I went to a few Basketball games in London UK .... the atmosphere was very 'NBA' unfortunately the quality of the Basketball was not so much !

Hey ❤

football is even crazier. just imagine totally hyped crowd on stadiums holding 200.000 people

Aris fans support any sport even the women u15 basketball team I love them

Check out George Carlin Baseball Vs Football

Thats Belgrade, Serbia. Red Star fans

you really dont need to know what are they chanting in Greece i am pretty sure if i translate it my account will be banned for harassment and profanity

You cant hear yourself in europe. We understand being the best 7th player😅

Those video clips are from Serbia and Greece.

The boy is fun de boca juniors

Panathinaikos is Greek team, Barcelona is Spain team. The game is from Euroleague game

you should react to "Ultras our way of life" and/or the Ultra 1 million special

"Break a leg" XD

This is how sports is experienced in Europe, I hope one day you can watch football or basketball in Europe, by the way you are a beautiful woman 😉

In Europe it's much more passionate and tribal. People identify with their hometown/Region.

Even in women's basketball in Turkey, the FB/GS rivalry still continues in the same way. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpOKeKthltOyj6M.html

It's wonderfull to see their commitment and enthousiasm , but i wouldn't want to be anywhere near. #introvert

US money vs European passion

The European basketball fans are not exclusive basketball fans they are fanatics of a specific team and they go to any serious sport to support their team, they also go to voleyball matches but the main sport they have been founded for is Football (not eggball the real football)

Panathinaikos at home stadium OAKA, best atmoshpere in world basketball. ❤

Let's try sum Greek. In that stadium was pandemonium in so much even dancing caused a ruckus

Aris Saloniki fans are mental💪❗️☦️♥️♥️

In the us they made sport in to a show in Europa it is still a WAR !!!!
