Lesson
My brother and I went to the Yankees vs. Red Sox game last Tuesday. I have to say, there was a lot of trash talking at the game. I heard a lot of Yankee fans shout things like "Red Sox suck," or "go home Red Sox fans." Even though there were not nearly as many Red Sox fans they could certainly dish it out as well. It helped that the Red Sox crushed the Yankees 7-3. We even saw one fan spit on another fan. If it were the Mariners or the A's or something it might not have been so heated. But the Yankees and Red Sox have a rivalry that goes back a long way.

Is it common in other cultures for people to trash talk? What do people trash talk about? Sports? Politics? Relationships? Fashion? Is it serious or just a friendly game?
