Steelers Fans Gone Wild

Who-Steelers fans
What-Fans were so happy that the Steelers won the game, they got a little out of hand with their celebration. They possibly injured a police officer's arm and they also "threw bottles at the police." Over one hundred people were arrested.
Where- The Steeler's fans partied in the streets at night.
When- Sunday, February 1, 2009
Why- The fans were overjoyed at the success of their favorite football team winning Superbowl 43.

In my opinion I think that this was very likely to happen. Anyone could have expected people to do this after the Steelers won the game. I do believe that it did get to wild though. These people should not have injured the police officers and they most definetly should not have partied in the streets. Overall, this was a bad decision made by these Steeler's fans but I bet that most people knew that this would happen somewhere.
