against enthusiastic people

It is often said that the Japanese is calm. Especially, compared with football fans in Europe. But I think that the Hanshin Tigers fans are an exception.

The Hanshin Tigers is professinal baseball team in Japan.
The Hanshin Tigers fans live mainly in Kansai district, are very excited and are very enthusiastic.

In 2003 the Hanshin Tigers won after 18 years.
At that time more than 5000 fans dived dirty river which called "doutonbori ."
It is not allowed to dive that river, because it is not deep enough.
Some people injured, one person died .

It is certain that the Hanshin Tigers will get league title this year.

Today I found an interesting article that says the 3 meter high fence was set not to dive.
What are the fans doing ????
