Galaxy Soccer Fans

Re “Backers Bet on 2nd Tier of Sports,” June 1:

With the opening of Home Depot Center in Carson, some residents are concerned that hooligans will invade their neighborhoods wreaking havoc? Fat chance.

Of all the reports of soccer hooliganism The Times has dwelt on in the past, how many incidents occurred in the United States?

Galaxy supporters are not European hoolies.

Cheer, drink and sing we will. But fear not, for we are nothing like those lovable, car-burning Laker fans -- themselves nothing more than frustrated Raider fans in disguise.
