No, we don't really have Ultras, for several reasons, most of which are good.
1. Regretably, most sporting events are too expensive. Football teams (which have the best fans), only play 16 regular season games, and if they're any good, the last 1-2 are rest games. So prices are jacked up for any but the pretty damn rich to attend every game.
2. We... don't need to entertain ourselves at our sporting events. If we're causing a riot, me might miss Lebron driving to the lane, or Peyton launching a 60 yard pass that goes for 6. Our sports don't typically have the extremely long periods of inactivity that an 1-1 offensive shoot-out soccer game has. We're too busy actually paying attention to our sports.
3. We don't have a need for ultras. We can't bring shit like weapons, but yeah. Plenty of fans carry flags, signs, posters, smuggle in liqour, and get rowdy as fuck.
4. We're at our most... active... before the game. We spend about 8 hours before each game partying in the parking lot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailgate_party What you do on camera that leads to 'woah, hardcore soccer hooligans' is simply our pregame.
