"Hooliganism" is the term used to describe disorderly, aggressive, and often violent behavior perpetrated by spectators at sporting events. Hooliganism often involves conflict between gangs, in English known as firms. Conflicts and disorderly behavior often take place, before, under or after the match.
When we talk about hooliganism, we often talk about football hooliganism. Disorderly behavior has been amongst supporters since the birth of sports. Disorderly behavior is normal in sports when the supporters support their club, but it can also get out of hand when the supporters shouts racist words at the players or fights the supporters from the other club they are playing against or often their rivals, with weapons including Sports bat, glass bottles, rocks, Rebar, knives, Machetes and Firearms. In the worst cases the fights end out with death of police officers or fans.
Football hooliganism History
The first instance of football violence is unknown, but the first recorded instance of football violence was during the 1880s in England. The 1880s was a period when gangs of supporters would intimidate neighborhoods, with regard to attacking referees, opposing supporters and players. In 1885, after Preston North End beat Aston Villa 5–0 in a friendly match, both teams were hit by stones, attacked with sticks, punched, kicked, and spat at. One of the Preston players was beaten so hard that he lost consciousness. Football hooliganism is still in football today, but you do not here so much about because it is not often it happens that fans attack each other, but sometimes it happens.
