Singing the national anthem before or at a sporting event is not a common practice in Europe, but rather takes place at big games (for instance in finals of national cups) or, of course, when national teams play each other.
@@TrashskillsRS there are some exceptions/additions....as i already mentioned....you will hear the national anthem for instance in some national cup finals.
A lot of basketball teams (especially in the Balkans) are owned by a sports club, a sports club that also owns a football team, so same team, same names, same supporters.
@@tganet7123 you're supporting the sports club, not the sport. Aris supporters I've seen support basketball, football, volleyball, all ages and genders. It's not the sport, it's the club.
@@tganet7123 Yeah , for example , my team (Partizan- Belgrade, Serbia) has a basketball , football , volleyball, waterpolo , handball team and a few more in different sports . Of course the biggest fanbase is in the more popular sports (In Serbia, and largely in Europe, Football and Basketball).
@@Commievnbecause during Yugoslavia red star (red and white) members were socialist (Yugoslavia had socialist government and it was netural during cold war) while Partizan (black and white) were nationalist and wanted king back into country (king left before nazi Germany attack and lost title as king and royal family now is now living in Britain if i remember right and aren't allowed back into country) so even during Yugoslavia Red star and Partizan were rivals
Turkish airlines is the sponsor of the euroleague. That game was actually played in Belgrade, Serbia. Be careful with calling out different nations in this region of europe since they will take it very offensive if called out wrong since they absolutely do NOT like eachother.
Its forgivable for americans because on average they are very bad in geography and dont know very much about world outside their borders ... now if someone explained them and they made the mistake few times despite them knowing better that would be offensive/ignorant ... but yeah balkans are creazy ...
The craziest fans in the world are in Serbia, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Italy... And then someone thinks that American cheering can affect Jokic, Doncic, Giannis or any European player in any way. They have played in front of an audience like this since they were 16, 17 or 18 years old. Compared to Europeans, American fans sound like Beethoven. Even the court does not shake.
NBA je najobičniji cirkus, odlično organizovan i vrhunski, ali ipak samo cirkus; jedino u NCAA, to jest koledž košarci, ima nešto malo života, strasti i energije.
The Europe fans was Aris Thessaloniki from Greece, the second was Red Star Belgrade from Serbia and the last one the "greens" was Panathinaikos Athens from Greece. 😊
6:30 ''game hasnt even started yet''. Thats it. its not about winning or losing. Its about being a family. most of those european clips are from the balkans, where life isnt that good. people find refuge in sports, they feel like they are connected from something and it keeps them together. thats the magic, thats why we are so crazy about our clubs, all sports. Basketball, Handball, Volleyball, Football (soccer). Its our way of life, its what is keeping us alive
6:15 Red Star fans Belgrade Serbia, no Turkey. It will be your terrible mistake and very dangerous for you to say in Belgrade that it is Turkey. Same situation in Turkey about Serbia.
They were mistaken because the commentator was saying "Turkish Airlines Euroleague". I can't speak on behalf of serbians but aside what they did to bosnians during the war, turkish do not hold a grudge against serbs. Unfortunately, I cant say the same for serbians. Sports are meant to be out of politics and should bring people together in peace. Just a few days ago, Anadolu Efes the turkish champion won the euroleague finals with the great assistance of their wonderful serbian star player vasilije micić.
In Europe we have clubs not franchises. So it's a pure cultural and from the heart and soul! Games like Fenerbahçe - Galatasaray; Partizan - Red Star; Panathinaikos - Olympiakos rivalry it's a serious business.
And last week Devin Booker complained about the mascot while trying to shoot a free throw in an empty arena. Bring Devin to Greece and play in an Olympiakos Vs Panathinaikos game ... that will train him how to shoot free throws even in a thunderstorm ahahaha
The first 2 European clips was a big rivalry. It was the hate derby of Thessolaniki between Aris and Paok. It was dark because of that lightning striked and cut the power.
There are no national anthems before any sport event in Europe unless it is the national union or national team that is competing. It is almost exclusively during national matches and the olympics. The standing before the match is when the speaker announces the name and number of each player and they shake hands.
USA: Singing sweet cute chants Europe: If we lose let's just fire up the entire place and curse to the entire enemy team and fans. Here it's basically civil war when it comes to sports. Trust me. I live here.
A few things about the video and sports in Europe The crowds shown were from Greece (Aris Thessaloniki and Panathinaikos) and Serbia (Crvena Zvezda/Red Star). In the Balkans and Turkey they love basketball a lot, even maybe more than football. There is no national anthem in club games, only when national teams play. The chants are many times aggressive and extremely offensive. The fans try to intimidate and insult the other team as much as boost their own. The fanatic support exists because most clubs have teams in multiple sports. The Aris Thessaloniki or Panathinaikos of basketball is the same club that exists in football (and volleyball etc). Aris Thessaloniki were playing their fierce rivals Paok Thessaloniki. Panathinaikos were playing Barcelona and their fierce rivals are Olympiakos Peraius. Red Star was playing CSKA Moscow and their fierce rivals are Partizan Belgrade. Rivalries is Europe range from something just to tease each other to hardcore hate many times based on politics and religion. People have literally been killed because they supported one club or another. Generally most Europeans don't treat the sport like a product and the club like a company. That is why you see very passionate crowds, oftentimes getting way too wild.
Minute 6:45 - In Europe we NEVER sing the national anthem during local matches. US is the only democratic country that do that all the time. We put the national anthems only during international matches between tow country representative teams face each other (like Italy vs France)... not even when two normal city teams from different countries face each other (like AS Rome vs Paris SG); in these matches each team put his personal chant, not the national anthem
This is not a surprise. In Europe we identificate with our team for a whole life. Sometimes it is for us like a religion. We can’t even compare it with USA fans because it’s insulting for us. Maybe one day the dream comes true and i will Watch GSW live😍
@@fikrif6403It basically starts with calling the opposing fans gay and stating that their father is one of their own (basically saying that they fucked their mothers)then continues with saying that the opposing team is a whore and their fans are cop friends 😂
Are they? Their teams could blow us out any time. What you guys don't understand is that the families are bringing the big bucks in games, not the ultras. If the environment is safe and peaceful you can charge higher rates and people will still come because it's entertainment.
@@cbarak72 Yes, they are. If you notice what the clip is about "Fans and Atmosphere". It's a HUGE difference between going to a game and going to a game as a fan or being a true fan with pyrotechnics, flare, banges, to live the game. For example, when I watch NHL, I see a lot of fat people, eating 5 hot dogs, holding 2 beers in their hand and have a "Avalanche" shirt on them, but do they sing chants? Do they do anything except eating and drinking? :D Europefans almost never sit down, they scream, they have passion 5 levels above USA.
@@awpdrottningen So why all the big players are in US? Because that's where the money is. Same reason why in Champion's League games you can't pull those shenanigans because the team will be banned.
@@cbarak72 Wait what... Big players? You have 4 of them in Inter Miami. Europe has the rest of them except Saudi who has maybe 10 of the elders 35+. Europa has Griezmann, Haaland, Mbappé, Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Lewandowski, Isak, Modric, Kroos and how many you want me to name :D Team dosent get banned no, they get to pay small fine of maybe 3000 euro/dollar. Didnt you see Bulgarian tifo what they did to UEFA?
No one but America starts club games with the National Anthem.. Many European Basketball clubs are affiliated with the local soccer team and the respective league set ups are the same so rivalries are ready made. There is very good video interviewing NBA players who played in Europe and what they thought of it all- Would recommend.
There are no fans from the other team, because at big rivalries the guest team fans aren't allowed in, due to the chaos and potential fighting that could happen
Regarding Basketball, it is not everywhere in Europe you can encounter such atmosphere, but only in Greece or other balkanic countries like Serbia. However, in Football (soccer), it is more common across Europe, as you could already see :)
Just given my 2 cents where. In Europe some people care basket some care for hockey, handball, volleyball etc. Then every body care for football. The big focus and the big money is football, but then football clubs also have teams is other sports. So the fans you see in basketball are most likely the ones you also see in a football match. The hard core fans are passion about the club, if you have a chess player represent is club they will chant for him
Minute 9:46 - It was all green because, as written on the top of the video, it was a match between a team from Athen and a team from Barcellona, and it was played in Athen, thus the majority of fans were from greece and Athen tem color is green. There was a small brown/blu/red group in a corner for the fans that came to greece from Spain
That's the difference between having a franchise for each sport and have a club that is in every competition in every sport. The football fans just go along, because they're not fans of basketball, they're FANS OF THE CLUB! It's definitely something else in Europe, South America, Africa, Asia... basically every other country than US and Canada...
The intensity is high, the atmosphere so good, a national anthem is not necessary for the most of these games. Maybe before a cup game or the of course the national teams are about to play.
Thing is in America you guys are more like customers, in Europe the fans are part of the game, these clubs a lot of times aren't just Basketball clubs, some are attached to other sport clubs (like football/soccer teams, water polo teams, etc) it's a representation of your city, the passion you see is the pride in your city/area, for example like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid also have Basketball teams some football fans will go to the Basketball games, etc because the team represents your area, so by extension represents you, at games your in a crowd of people that the club also represents, that pride spills out in the crowd
in Europe there is a system called CS (sports club), which means that the club with the same name has teams in several sports, but most of the ultras are from football, but this is true love, "it doesn't matter what sport, I support you "
Fun fact 1- all videos from Europe are form Balkan region, most passionate, flammable and hate fulfilled region. Almost every country there had a violent history with their neighbours Fun fact 2- all these clubs have their football section, so probably we saw the same ultras in both of your videos And that wasn't national athem, that was a melody of "Triumphal march" from "Aida" opera by Verdi. We just adjusted it for a chant for support our Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) 😉
reakt to "ultras our way of life" and "why ultras are so important for football" i think you gonna learn much more. got another perspective and understand why fans in rest off the world are so different compared to america sport :)
07:47 Yes, Turkish he said but as a part of Turkish Airlines, the main sponsor of EuroLeague. That part was shot in Belgrade, Serbia, during the match between Red Star and CSKA, Moscow. Capisce paisano?
What you should realize is. You support your country first, then your region then your locality. And that's how it goes for sportsclubs. In local v local clubs you've got one town's team vs another town's team. And those rivalries can go back couple hundred years. But when the best local team plays the best team from another region. The entire region turns to support their region vs the other. And same with countries during international games. And some of those rivalries span thousand years... imagine any Dutch vs Spanish game... the hatreds from the 80 years war are reignited right then and there 😅 So you don't support that specific sport... you support the club no matter what the sport! (Also many people have co ownership of the local sport clubs. So there's also a financial incentive)
Those arent basketball fans. They are Ultra's. They support the club. Clubs in Europe are local institutions and provide multiple sport modalities to the community. A club will have Football (the main sport and money generator), athletics, basketball, handball, volleyball etc etc. Ultra's will support the club in any modality. Although primarily focused on football they will show up in big moments for the other sports.
first two teams were Greek, third were Serbian (recognise Cyrilic alphabet and Serbian (and Russian imperial) flag), fourth was also Greek from alphabet.
European fans are club fans, regardless of the sport. It is much deeper than sport as well. Also, European part of the video is merely pre game chanting - none of the intimidating, vilent, hate filled 200dB noise, taunts and chants during more dramatic moments of the game.
In Europe its all about winning...if the team loses the fans even curse at them...the players don't laugh amd dont joke like they do in America.. they often apologize to the fans...
Same fans from football are always watching Basketball games! When you are a club supporter it doesn't matter even if it is water polo! We go there with our tags and produce mayhem for the rival team!
guys i was laughing so loud..when you were watching the nba and ncaa games; u were thinking this was something special..hahaha i knew exactly what was coming during the Europe movies..haha Americans with their cute flashmobs, Tailgating and whatnot so lame
This is no joke. There's no kids, no moms, no families in those crowds. When you're sitting in the stands the atmosphere is so electrifying that your legs go numb. This is the real meaning of home court advantage. Scary very scary.
The game that had floors shaking is actually in Serbia. It’s in Belgrade. Redstar vs csk . And turkish airlines were sponsoring euro league. And every country in Europe has one or more rival clubs. But also we have brother clubs. That means that fans of those two clubs are like brothers. Supporting each other.
These fans in in Europe known as ultras these fans are associated city by City and The Home country and as they playing clubs from all over tend to put on a show, the ultras also represents soccer teams as well in the same scenario.
That was during Euroleague competition because they fined Red Star basketball club first time when we werent silent during Euroleague anthem so after that for last 10 years and we dont let Euroleague anthem to be heard... And we continue to do so... You can find it on UA-cam Delije vs Euroleague anthem or on Serbian "Delije vs himna evrolige" "Delije probijaju zvucni zid (litterally translated Delije breaking sound wall etc one clib will lead to another)"... Best noticed if u find a video from a TV broadcast...
In europe they have sporting clubs that play multiple sports, so the crowd thats at the basketball most will be at the football on Saturdays an basketball on Sunday's. You support your club regardless of the sport. Its truely amazing an scary lol
In Greece every basketball game of Panathinaikos (gate 13) it's like this its crazy do a video of reacting to panathinaikos fans (gate 13) they are just crazy
No screens, no music, European people make the show by themselves. American ones need a lead.
That's the huge difference.
Américain sports= Disney World !!
Européen sport= Gladiator war
Sport is a show in Us, in Europe is a fight
@@monika-il3hw man in a rivalry it’s like a war. Fight is an understatement for that.

In Europe is not just sport, is War with no guns.
reakt to "ultras our way of life" and "why ultras are so important for football" i think you gonna learn much more. got another perspective and understand why fans in rest off the world are so different compared to america sport :)
5:03 Why does not a single reactor think of it as the end of the game, which is was?
I was in the OAKA arena that night! I owned a season ticket for years but that night I remember I couldn’t find my own seat 😂
We are from Athens,,we are panathinaikos
07:47 Yes, Turkish he said but as a part of Turkish Airlines, the main sponsor of EuroLeague. That part was shot in Belgrade, Serbia, during the match between Red Star and CSKA, Moscow. Capisce paisano?
Many of our clubs in Europe plays in different sports, and us fans, we love and support our clubs not just a specific sport! #no pyro no party
usa: fun
europe: War and passion
What you should realize is. You support your country first, then your region then your locality. And that's how it goes for sportsclubs. In local v local clubs you've got one town's team vs another town's team. And those rivalries can go back couple hundred years. But when the best local team plays the best team from another region. The entire region turns to support their region vs the other. And same with countries during international games. And some of those rivalries span thousand years... imagine any Dutch vs Spanish game... the hatreds from the 80 years war are reignited right then and there 😅
So you don't support that specific sport... you support the club no matter what the sport!
(Also many people have co ownership of the local sport clubs. So there's also a financial incentive)
Thats why not playing infront of your home fans in europe is a big deal for players
10:47 is Red Star from Belgrade Serbia.... We are passionate about our sport not just basketball..
React to "Ultra our way of life" its about European passion football fans called "ultras". Mostly from central, South and east Europe.
Hello. You ask where the Away Fans are? In Greece in most of the Games are no away Fans allowed because of to many Riots.
Those arent basketball fans. They are Ultra's. They support the club. Clubs in Europe are local institutions and provide multiple sport modalities to the community. A club will have Football (the main sport and money generator), athletics, basketball, handball, volleyball etc etc. Ultra's will support the club in any modality. Although primarily focused on football they will show up in big moments for the other sports.
Ultras not Ultra's.
The second clip the fans sings Triumph March of Verdis opera Aida.
You should watch European coaches (basketball). Insane amount of passion and authority
dont forget football/soccer european soccer coach as well
I am a diehard fan of the last team panathinaikos here in greece 🇬🇷 and i have been in 3 games thus far in my life
Have your ears recovered yet? 😂
@@GlyntTheCat As a fellow Panathinaikos supporter, you get used to it after your 4th-5th time sitting in Gate13 (our hooligan section)
And keep in mind, 2h before the game even starts, the place is packed and you can't hear your own word
PS : 6:40 it's not Srbja national anthem , but Aida opera theme (Giuseppe Verdi opera - 1871 - ua-cam.com/video/5Ad6a3hUKLw/v-deo.html 3:20 )
THIS IS SPARTA..
THIS IS EUROPE ....
A mans domain
.
first two teams were Greek, third were Serbian (recognise Cyrilic alphabet and Serbian (and Russian imperial) flag), fourth was also Greek from alphabet.
1. Greek team aris
2. Serbian team red star
3. Greek team Panathinaikos
European fans are club fans, regardless of the sport. It is much deeper than sport as well. Also, European part of the video is merely pre game chanting - none of the intimidating, vilent, hate filled 200dB noise, taunts and chants during more dramatic moments of the game.
In Europe its all about winning...if the team loses the fans even curse at them...the players don't laugh amd dont joke like they do in America.. they often apologize to the fans...
Same fans from football are always watching Basketball games! When you are a club supporter it doesn't matter even if it is water polo! We go there with our tags and produce mayhem for the rival team!
guys i was laughing so loud..when you were watching the nba and ncaa games; u were thinking this was something special..hahaha i knew exactly what was coming during the Europe movies..haha Americans with their cute flashmobs, Tailgating and whatnot so lame
USA Basketball-Show
EUROPE Basketball- Passion
Aris Salonica, Red Star Beograd, Panathinaikos Athens, were the European fans, for anyone wondering....
This is no joke. There's no kids, no moms, no families in those crowds. When you're sitting in the stands the atmosphere is so electrifying that your legs go numb. This is the real meaning of home court advantage. Scary very scary.
believe me theres kids 13-18 yo in crowds and they are crazy asf (join in fight with police and other things)
9:41 the other fans were to scared to come 🐰🐰🐰😄😄
Pozdrav iz Beograda PARTIZAN 4EVER
The game that had floors shaking is actually in Serbia. It’s in Belgrade. Redstar vs csk . And turkish airlines were sponsoring euro league. And every country in Europe has one or more rival clubs. But also we have brother clubs. That means that fans of those two clubs are like brothers. Supporting each other.
Basketball in Greece: This is Sparta
The national anthem thing makes me laugh every time 😂 hell ive forgotten my countrys anthem when i was 10 and havent heard it since 😂
You need to do ultra our way of life, both the videos you have done on this so far have been tame in comparison.
If you knew what ARIS fans are singing in the first chant, shit would get them cancelled in the US
We don’t do national anthems generally, not brainwashed
@TK Top Travel you guys should come to Greece and watch a Panathinaikos game in person!
These fans in in Europe known as ultras these fans are associated city by City and The Home country and as they playing clubs from all over tend to put on a show, the ultras also represents soccer teams as well in the same scenario.
That was during Euroleague competition because they fined Red Star basketball club first time when we werent silent during Euroleague anthem so after that for last 10 years and we dont let Euroleague anthem to be heard... And we continue to do so... You can find it on UA-cam Delije vs Euroleague anthem or on Serbian "Delije vs himna evrolige" "Delije probijaju zvucni zid (litterally translated Delije breaking sound wall etc one clib will lead to another)"... Best noticed if u find a video from a TV broadcast...
The away fans weren't allowed into the stadium because it would be too dangerous
usually in Spain and eastern Europe, football and basketball fans are the same people as one club might have different teams in different sports.
That was Greece, Serbia not sure was it Spain too. But mostly those countries. Though Turkish is the same as all others Europe countries.
haha... "Where are the othe fans?" haha..😂
This is why homefield advantage is a thing.
Why is the video blurred😂😂
In europe they have sporting clubs that play multiple sports, so the crowd thats at the basketball most will be at the football on Saturdays an basketball on Sunday's. You support your club regardless of the sport. Its truely amazing an scary lol
USA atmosphere- beer🍺 , hotdogs, mascots, Beyoncé / Kim/ or whoever singer song. European- clubs own anthem, passionate ,extreme , pyro fireworks, non stop noises & giant flags.
In Europe the same clubs has different teams football handball basketball etc.. so the passion extends
In Greece every basketball game of Panathinaikos (gate 13) it's like this its crazy do a video of reacting to panathinaikos fans (gate 13) they are just crazy
Imagine being a rival player, you're defeated before you even get on the court
Go there and root for the other team ? No you don't do that in Greece. You'll end up dead , quite literally.
