Summary Of The Soccer Riots

Again within Wakefield and Wann’s studies they explained about how fan violence occurs within troubled fans. Their research did not show a huge connection between alcohol and fan violence (2006, p. 179-180).

It is not clear if on-field violent behavior leads to off-field violence. It would be somewhat logical to assume that people who become accustomed to using physical intimidation and violence in sport naturally revert to those behaviors when facing conflict outside of sport. However, sport may not be the cause of violence, but rather a result of the athletes’ upbringing or natural disposition, which led them to choose a violent sport to begin with. Drug and alcohol use should also be noted, since they and not sport may be the cause of violence. Alcohol consumption and binge drinking add to the problem of

In the arena of sports today there is a continuous subject in every sport hostility and violence. Aggression can be revealed in a lot of dissimilar methods in sports. In baseball hostility can be chucking a pitch inside to a player or gliding into second base and captivating the other basemen. In basketball it can be a foul that is hard and shoving someone to the ground. And in NASCAR it can be somewhat as little at bouncing another vehicle at a race track. Over the past few years aggression and violence in sports is growing bigger and bigger. It seems like you can not go a week or two without the news talking about a fight or argument that has occurred at a sporting event between a couple of players or teams.

The subject of masculinity holds the contexts of aggression among players and how it can be encouraged by the sport. Card and Dahl (2011) regard aggressive behavior as a means of developing a feeling of being masculine in an orderly way. Within the culture of American football, a positive character among the trainers and peers as well can be attained by showing a character of aggressiveness, and a strong will to fight and be violent which will guarantee a win (Benedict & Keteyian, 2013; Harper and Harris, 2010)). For footballers to be regarded as masculine instead of being viewed as weak, they must show the willingness to fight and no signs of weakness in character, and this push them for a win (Benedict, 2004). There appears to be the force that require the players to win at any cost in football matches and this in turn generate masculinity among player for the team to be

Anderson, Craig A., et al. "Violent video games: Specific effects of violent content on aggressive thoughts and behavior." Advances in experimental social psychology 36 (2004): 199-249.

Participation in rough-and-tumble sports can increase aggressive behavior. Jeffrey Goldstein wrote his encyclopedic review Aggression and Crimes of Violence, he concluded that participation in athletic activities has a measurable effect on aggressive behavior, increasing it in proportion to the level of aggression contained within the particular sport engaged in. Contact sports like hockey, football, basketball, rugby, and soccer pose a greater risk than non contact sports like tennis and golf. Aggression is contagious. This has led to the constant debate within educational, mental health, and coaching circles about how to prevent this type of aggression in the first place or, if that fails, how to contain it when it does occur.

Football is known to be a dangerous and aggressive sport, resulting in many injuries and shocking displays of harm. Men tend to enjoy violence more than women because men find violence entertaining. Men have more testosterone than women making men more violent and aggressive themselves. This belligerent nature of men has been like this since the begging of

Many sports fans around the world don’t understand what to do when the world hears that their favorite team is the most disrespectful in the NFL. Athletes all over the country have been protesting during the National Anthem. They are taunted with anger from fans. The ESPN organization needs to take action in teaching the athletes, that they sponsor, to respect because many men and women have fought for the country.

I believe that the violent acts carried out by these fans have nothing to do with the fact of team sports being good for us or not, at least when it comes to people who practice these sports to keep fit and for leisure. The fact that the antisocial and violent behaviour involved in many soccer matches affects many people, does not imply we should automatically

Why have sports become a source of anger, divisiveness, and violence? Although sports fans wield the power to grow and popularize a sport, they can also prove to be severely detrimental towards a sport. Whether it's deterring a potential fan from following a particular team or inciting violence among fans, the deplorable behavior of various groups of sports fans has caused sports leagues to take preventative measures to ensure the safety and well being of both fans and athletes. Sporting arenas, establishments that televise sporting events, and the internet have all succumbed to the horrendous actions perpetrated by these fans. Furthermore, the hostile behavior of the worst sports fan hijack the rich cultural exchange and camaraderie that comes from sports. Understanding the behaviors of the worst sports fans, will assist people in recognizing which fans they should avoid.

Sport resembles war. In fact, sport was originally built on the premise of preparing soldiers for battle in ancient times. Violence was very prevalent in Ancient Rome and has since deceased because of the emergence of modern sport (Jovašević & Batrićević, 2013). Violence in sport today is not just committed by the athletes, but by coaches and spectators (Corbett et al., 2008). Although violence has been involved in sport for quite some time, the question still remains is violence ethical? Cashmore (as cited in, Wagg et at, 2014) believes that sportsmen and women have no reason to participate in sport for extrinsic money or rewards. Because of modern sports development economics now plays a bigger role and has the potential to harm the ethos

Some people feel angry a lot of the time. Some situations can make anybody angry. We do not, however, expect that playing violent video games will routinely increase feelings of anger, compared with playing a nonviolent game. To be sure, playing a frustrating game is likely to increase anger. Violent content by itself, however, in the absence of another provocation, is likely to have little direct impact on affect. We deliberately chose to use a pair of violent and nonviolent games that are equally well liked for Study 2. In effect, this choice closes off this particular route to aggression, allowing a cleaner test of the more critical hypothesis that violent content itself can increase

The riots in England in 2011 can be explored in terms of social psychological phenomenon. As such, the initiation and maintenance of the riots could have happened due to a number of interlinking factors, including minority influence, social learning theory, and deindividuation.

Violence in sports refers to the physical acts committed in contact sports such as soccer, hockey, football and basketball. These acts of violence can include intentional attempts or threats to physically harm another player by the athletes and coaches engaged in spectator sports. Sports violence is widespread with its roots being traced back to the times of Ancient Roman gladiator fights and chariot races. In today’s sports culture, there is a high price placed on victory and sports fans have a great interest in human conflict, which has allowed violence to become an accepted part of sports. Overall, the problem of sports violence has become a major issue in society that’s an unacceptable, growing social problem.

There should be nothing violent about sporting, yet today violent sports has so dominated  the entertainment arena, that some people seems to live by it, and can't get enough of it.
