21 sentenced to death for football riots

[Batta]

And football is the king of sports

How so? Because the players have a cultural level comparable to pigs and still manage to get millions? Good point it would be. It's not a bad sport but such sentences just let others understand how mentally limited are hardcore football supporters.

and yes it does lead to very bad things but so do other sports.

Completely wrong. Football is one of the most violence-inspiring sports. This is not due to the sport itself but to the ignorance of people going to stadiums and so on. Please make a little list of the sports which generate such shameful situations like this.

Football is in the human DNA, you inherit it from your father most of the times.

and that's why you hate it too, as I said, DNA..

Elaborate more please...

Yes, please. Tell us about this marvellous theory.

The last time I saw a lack of such at a stadium was when I was 9 years old, if that.

American football or actual soccer?

American football or actual soccer?

Both. Soccer isn't that big in the United States, but it still gets it's fair share of chaos from time to time. Even baseball has seen similar incidents here. It's quite sad, in all honesty.

and that's why you hate it too, as I said, DNA..

Oh right then I guess Rugby is part of my DNA.. No it isn't, what sport you like depends on your personality and body stature, for example a tall skinny person would go for football or basket ball, where as your average chunky person would go for rugby or American hand egg.

No but really, sport isnt in your DNA.

They are football players and they earn their money rightfully practicing a sport and training for the most of their lives. Cultural level comparable to pigs? Right, you should know better from all.

It's not a bad sport but such sentences just let others understand how mentally limited are hardcore football supporters.

It's called king of sports because eventually most fans get psychologically attached with a game and the sadness or joy it may bring along. The term has been established since long ago by people who are not mentally limited unlike you think so.

How is football violence inspiring more than American football, WWE, UFC, Kick boxing / box, ice hockey, rodeo. Football has strict regulations nowadays by all football associations yet people moan how violent inspiring it is. I will agree with the last part about the audience, but that is a minority of football fans if they should be called that.

Yes, please. Tell us about this marvellous theory.

they earn their money rightfully

LOL. Seriously you would give away millions and millions for a trained monkey?

practicing a sport and training for the most of their lives.

At least they do something.

Cultural level comparable to pigs? Right, you should know better from all.

Just have a look to some interviews.

It's a god damn GAME.

Football has strict regulations nowadays by all football associations

People watching and living for it have no rules.

Ima go watch me some cricket..

Which in return will make more millions. Football is a very valuable market, including media coverage and merchandising. Top clubs can have a revenue from 300-500 million EUR.

Just have a look to some interviews.

Not all players are pigs, according to your theory. Some players can be violent but that violence emerges from their passion to play for their team and inability to control their anger. Football is one of the most physical sport you can get into and it's with a lot of pressure so you expect it has a huge effect on the players.

It's a god damn GAME.

Played by billions of people everywhere in the world, it has become a part of some countries culture as well.

People watching and living for it have no rules.

In England, people can get banned for life if they commit a misdemeanor in a football stadium. Several rules apply in other football associations as well. If the people haven't been educated about the aspects of the sport it's not their fault.

Do you get that there are people starving even if they work all day long in mines and such, and then you see these idiots playing a damned football game and getting so much money that even a 1/2000 could save many families? That's just insane. That's not capitalism or such, that's insane. But that's probably ok for you. Because you have your little show on TV that makes you feel great. That's the aim.

that violence emerges from their passion to play for their team

Oh really? 99% change team according to the payment they are offered. Such passion!

and inability to control their anger.

Then don't allow them to play. But still the main problem is not footballers being violent. The problem is the uncultured mass who watch it.

If the people haven't been educated about the aspects of the sport it's not their fault.

One thing I love of Italy is that "Ignorantia legis non excusat". This means that you are always supposed to know whether what you're doing is legal or not. Ignorance is just not admitted.

If some people in 2013 are still living in the Stone Age that's just their fault.

They are also forced to pay taxes like everyone, and actually  many football clubs do charities to help people, but you just can't help everyone.. Oh and NBA players get paid more than all football players and it's watched mainly by Americans whilst football is not, anyway that's not the problem.

Oh really? 99% change team according to the payment they are offered. Such passion!

That depends on the player himself.

I agree.

No. Football is the people's sport and it has it's roots from the society. People get overly attached to it, sure I am attached to a football club in Spain but that's as far as I would go. I would not hurt anyone for my team's pride.

And the only major football hooliganism issues that have occurred during the past years in European contries are in Greece, Italy, Balkans, Russia and EX - USSR countries whilst UK had the biggest problem in football hooliganism, with proper football education it's almost effaced from the stadiums.
