Downside Of Red Sox Victory
Morris Singer of the Massachusetts Daily Collegian, the student newspaper of the University of Massachusetts Amherst reports on riots following the Red Sox victory on Saturday night.
A celebration of the Boston Red Sox's victory over the Oakland Athletics turned ugly on Saturday night as students gathered outside of the dormitories in the Southwest residential area at the University of Massachusetts, lighting fireworks and overturning two cars.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
There actually was a riot when the Yankees lost to Arizona in the 2001 World Series! This type of behavior is certainly a black eye for the UMass campus.
