Football Hooligans
Ive never understood what the facination is with watching a group of men kick a ball around, but millions op people seem to think it is the be all and end all, there is nothing worse than goning out for a drink with someone and all they can talk about is football, surley there intellegence exstends further than a pitch and a ball? or does it?. Football creates so much violence, anger and binge drinking. When people get together in mass numbers why does it creates so much violence?

As an American, the fascination with football is pretty new to me. It's a big sport at home, but American football is definitely the big one, followed by baseball.
The closest thing we have to hooligans is fan rivalry, which is a bigger deal in baseball. Red Sox (New England) fans and Yankees (New Your) fans are known to be enemies... only a fool would wear a Red Sox cap or shirt in New York City. I think the crowd mentality and the primitive, aggressive way fans can act when they're in large groups satisfies a need that many people have. They feel like they belong to something, especially when everyone's worked up about the same thing.
