Are you referring to the incident at the roadside bar? The fans are grown men wanting to humiliate the Moose for beating their team. The men violently beat each team member in the alley and then urinate on them. I'm not sure where the intense racism comes from. I suspect it is born out of ignorance, fear, and a twisted sense of reality. I wish I knew the answer: the scene is very disturbing.
