The only time I get into sports is during the Olympics, so I'm not exposed to the rabid fans, but why are "Football" (i.e. soccer) fans so fanatical? Soccer related riots in England and other parts of Europe seem par for the course. Are there more alcohol in those games? Less police presence? Why are American football (as in NFL, etc.) and baseball games as prone to violence and deepseated hatred of opposing teams?
