[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 625321, member: 53362"] [B]only tapering off in the 90s and 2000s with a mass government response and negative response from society [/B]Wrong it was the rave scene in the early 90s that caused it to taper off. [B]Many of these middle class hooligans want to express how tough and "working class" they are, and try to do it through hooliganism. So there is a class problem, but it's from the middle class down, not the working class up[/B]. Excellent point well made. In conclusion, football has a long history in which outside factors caused it to become and outlet for violence. [B]If you ask me, for the most part, sports support is not inherently violent. As with any situation where you assemble a crowd, there can always be violence, and things that happen on the pitch can cause violence off of it[/B], but for any mass movement of violence to occur, you need factors exterior to the sport that are expressed within it. Using that model you can usually explain the majority of sports violence. Wrong! The only major sport that has crowd violence is Football. Its the only major sport where rival fans are kept apart. This only happens in Football not in any other sport and frankly they can keep it. PS Green street is possibly the worst film ever made. [/QUOTE]
