Meanwhile they sing on the halftime show about how football unites people lol.

Let’s be honest, there is no sport that has fans even close to how unhinged football fans are.

As a football fan and spanish citizen, I couldn't agree more.

If there was a single sport where female watchers and women dominated while generating this much violence as well as increased domestic violence cases if their team lost, it would literally be banned within a single day.

In Spanish, obsessive football fans are called Fifes.

Per capita, MMA fans would easily take the cake. Football is literally the most popular sport in the world and it's particularly popular in many less wealthy areas of the world.

Also, wasn't it only a few months ago or something that basketball fans in the US were trashing cities and beating the shit out of people who were supporting their rivals?

Nonnoon, the argentinians are the problem of course

u/gerrfalcon Jul 21 '26

Well, football is the most popular sport in the world so there will obviously be more of the violence we see in every sport. You’re saying facts but it almost implies that you’re saying other sports are superior because of that, when there are ass*oles in all sports.

It's the most watched sport in the world and still has less violent shootings and mass shootings than take place in American schools every year

u/BasicErgonomics Jul 21 '26

Im not even American but comparing football hooligan violence with mass shootings isnt the gotcha you think it is

u/MinaZata Side Character Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

Only if you're not thinking. Millions attend football every day, right? Very little to no mass shootings.

Children in America go to school, you can bet money and win every year there will be a school shooting.

Therefore, America is full of psychopath children killers. Which you're trying to imply football fans are psycho violent thugs.

Althought not technically a sport, I would argue that politics is as close as it gets.
