Are Some Games Played in Hell?

This fan is clearly an Oakland Raiders fan because he has dawned himself in silver face paint, as well as silver and black shoulder pads, which all match the silver and black colors in the Raiders logo and apparel. The frightening aspect of this photo is that the gentleman has taken ordinary shoulder pads worn by football players of all ages, and has decided to add spikes and skulls that are very violent and dark in appearance. Each shoulder is accompanied by large, intimidating skulls, and those skulls have a headdress or a crown of large spikes. This signifies that either death accompanies this fan or his team, or that the team, or the fans, are warriors of death themselves. The various spikes and skulls throughout his chest and neck seem to convey the same dark message or theme as the shoulders. He seems to be in a violent state of mind as he is yelling, and has an intense scowl as he stares down his foe. Here again is a fan that seems to take on the persona he dresses himself up to be. Both the Spartan Cowboys fan and this “Warrior of Death” Raiders fan seem to have gotten dressed for a bloody battle rather than a game of football. Their outfits, demeanor, and postures are those of people who are waiting to engage in, who are prepared for, and are anticipating violence. Notice how his face paint is the same silver as in the Raiders logo, but also the same grey as the giant skulls on his shoulders, further signifying that he and his team are warriors of death, they cannot die, and they are not here to watch and cheer for a game, but rather the destruction and death of another opposing team.
