So that 'oh so lovely spor't has another death to its name:

Supporter dies after rival fans clash ahead of game in Madrid

This does not happen with any other sport!!! What is it going to take for a so called civilised society to sort this out once and for all?

Football's for sh1theaps anyway so who cares..........

Natural selection?

Spaneesh mentality

Just surprised FIFA haven't come out and blamed English fans.

Who cares

Yup your right it doesn't happen at any other type of event

No other sport has serial violence and tribal crap running through its veins like football. Only yesterday I met a tool that won't even visit the town of Preston because he's a Blackpool fan and, I quote, 'Preston are scum'.

Also as regards your first link are you being deliberately daft or just trying to be divisive! What has a political protest got to do with anything - they were protesting about the state of their country, they were not GP fans FFS!

I went to Spanish gp this year and was sitting not too far away from several men who were so drunk they fell asleep shortly into the race.
Granted not fighting but equally as idiotic given the price of tickets.
All sport has its set of idiots

At least rugby has its idiots ON the pitch


Hang on, so does footy....

Self-cleaning oven!

OOOOeeerrrr I didn't read fully into the story about violence at a sporting event!


Violence and murders happen at events be it sports, music or whatever its the violent world we live in. It would be nice if you could go to events without fear of being attacked but once rivalry is added it adds a threat.

Sorry, but are you really trying to say football doesn't have a tribal violence problem and you are just as likely to get attacked at any type of event?

The club president said it's nothing to do with football, so you're obviously wrong, must have been a random attack and the victim just happened to be wearing a football shirt and on his way to the game.

Yep that's the problem with football and its fans. Half of the battle to cure a problem is admitting you have one! As I often say, the sport of the stupid!

There's a wee bit more to this than football

Wasn't that was your intention with another I hate football all the supporters are morons rant, slow day ?

Nope, just sick of the sport and the blinkered ****s that make excuses for it.

Difficult see how can be sick of a sport you have no interest in

Nope, in other sports it's the competitors and umpires who tend to come a cropper, apparently:

That's difficult for you why?

I think the general is thought is you were browsing the BBC football section.
At least, that's my thinking.

That would be a very odd thing to do, for someone who has no interest in the game that is.

Irrespective of why Chris posted this thread I have to agree violence and sectarianism is more prevalent in football than other sports. To lose your life for attending a football match is unacceptable on any level. I don't know what the solution is but will say football attracts more idiots than any other sport.

Excellent thinking except it was on the front page of the news site which the link even showed

That's why I fail to understand why someone can't work out why I might be sick of it. Football is treated as headline news in this stupid country!

But you still felt it necessary to click on the link knowing it was about football?
And then come on here to create a thread about something you've no interest in whatsoever

As for football being headline news, your illustration of something you don't like being on the main site could apply to any sport, for any other individual.

I have an interest in getting a sport banned when it continually promotes violence and death as part of its culture! Is that really too hard for you to understand? Yes probably!

But it doesn't though does it, football gets way more exposure than any other sport. For instance when Ferguson stepped down as Manchester United manager it was the lead story on the BBC news.... thats' clearly stupid as it is only a manager retiring from a sports club... hardly worthy of the main news page!

Again though I don't expect you to understand the point being made as after all you follow football ergo.....

Motorsport specifically states that its dangerous.
What about MMA/boxing/other contact sports.

Don't see you posting about them

Your logic is flawed
