Topic: Even as a sport fan be careful! (Read 661 times)

I guess there's just a lot of dumb people out there that don't know what to do and they immediately resort to violence, I guess that's how they do things in this kind of world, some people are really stupid that they'd kill someone over an event that's probably going to be forgotten and will only be on match record books and archive of television tapes which would probably not be seen for so long. People like that shouldn't even be allowed to attend any kind of sporting event anymore, if they can't take the insult of their favorite team losing then it's probably the best idea if they're not going to be a part of that team, when the team that those scoundrels are supporting would know about this craziness, they'll probably condone that person too. With that kind of attack, it's definitely in your best interest to stay at home even though there's a delay in the game, at least you know that you're going to be safe.

A question to all, does only a sports fan should be careful if situation like that happens? People in general should be cautious. Starting from not visiting specific places where people with criminal mind suppose to be situated, and ending with learning to solve problems like that verbally. What I mean is that someone can get stabbed not only in a football game, but even near his house, or anywhere else. And people who have a knife in their hand, not always they plan to use it, sometimes you can either out-talk them (in this case agree that opponents team is better), give them something (wallet for example). When such person uses knife that means a bottom line for him, and a person who is about to get stabbed hasnt done everything to avoid this situation.

How many people should being stabbed?

Knife and guns are different, if the attacker was using guns, you can expect there will be more than 2 victims because it's easy to use. While knife, when someone got stabbed, the other people will run.

The event organizer will help the victim's family, but I doubt they will get penalized.

My heart goes towards those people who got injured, and fuck you to everyone who takes it too far when you watch games. Fuck all these parasocial relationships you're making up with your idols, and fuck you if you justify this type of behavior. It's one thing to love and show support to a team that you've stuck with for a long time, I myself have favorite teams in every ESport game that I chose to be a master of. But it doesn't fucking mean I'd walk the wire for them, let alone kill someone just because they were offending my favorite team.

At the end of the day these are people who got nothing to do with you. They probably don't even know you exist and you're out here hurting other people just cause they don't like your team? that's stupid. You're wasting your time and your life away for someone who's not gonna do the same thing for you, keep that in mind, everytime you get into a heated argument with someone who just talked shit against your team. Be sensible, be civilized. be a fan but don't be a dickrider. Know your limits and set boundaries against yourself and each other so you don't go out there stabbing people who you don't agree with. This is just insane man, how people can go out there and waste their lives all because of a fucking game of all things.

With the thousands of people that are watching there, only two of them were stabbed? I think there is a personal reason for this, just like on most crimes that we heard. Still, your advice there must still be applied, as there are also crazy people who like to trip others, especially if they are not from their territory. I feel sorry for the 2 victims there. All what they want is only to unwind and go for a vacation but they didn't know that it was already their last moments.

The event organizers might also be responsible for this because they didn't inspect the people carefully if they have a deadly weapon with them. They should be penalized and they should help the victim's family in terms of finances.

Some fans can be violent and ready to do anything to an opposition so fans need to be careful as the OP have noted. There are a series of cases of sports violence which has claimed the lives of football fans and maybe some blame should go to the stadium security security for not preventing this violence. The rate at which fans fight in stadiums is becoming alarming and this calls for sensitization among fans to make them understand that even though you support rival clubs that doesn’t make you enemies.

Fans should only cheer players and avoid violence because life is too precious and so when there are casualties the excitement that comes with the game is lost. People will no longer concentrate on the game but rather be distracted due to the violent scene. As fans, let us embrace love for one another so that we can enjoy the sports activities.

Taunts are normal with the fans for every intense matches but if I am foreign to the home land, I'd just basically going to enjoy the moment and I'd avoid to splur my emotion just because I am an avid fan of a team. But I will also try to contemplate if it's okay to do some taunt if the territory of that home land is quite welcoming and seems fine. Still, when I am away, I'd just do my own thing of being cautious and I'll try to avoid arguments that might result into a bad one because you don't know what's in the heads of the other fans when they're too emotional.
Sports is too emotional when you're an avid fan of it and there is no one going to stop you from having that emotional breakdown when your team is losing and there's the other fans from the winning team trying to taunt and tease you because you're a fan of the losing team. This happens at most times when you watch each sport but for me, just enjoy it and I'd avoid putting a lot of hard feelings and emotions on it because it is not going to result the way you'd expect it to be. Some that can't control their emotions as well could do crazy things.

I sympathize with what happened in that match. a surprising event that we could not have predicted beforehand. The reason is that so far the European League event has run smoothly without causing any casualties or attacks between supporters which have resulted in physical violence and murder. and of course this can cause special concerns for football fans, when they want to watch a match live at a certain stadium. Of course, this will not only cause concern, but also harm the football industry.

As football fans, we should support it appropriately, and don't let differences in choices make us darken our eyes and give rise to hatred towards other people, especially if we behave anarchically. because this behavior is completely useless and will not make you a great person.

Once these kind of incidents or conflicts could happen on a certain place and on a rampant manner then for sure it would really be something that be excluded by those tourist list that would really be going into their place just because on having that kind of shit reputation on which its locals are the ones who do causes up so much problem or trouble or simply life threatening kind of situation
then you cant blame them on. This is one of the main reasons on why i do skip out on going into those places specially if it isnt ours on which even if they are really that not bound to have those kind
of actions but you cant really remove into someones mind about those probabilities that could happen and this is something that you cant blame into other peoples mind and this is why
they do become that skeptical on hanging through into those places.

It is very sad and also a big coincidence that in many of this tragic events, those who end up being harmed are either not from the country or the city, basically tourists, hopelly this is nothing life-threatening so they can continue to enjoy this sport without the fear of stepping in an stadium for the rest of their lives.
Football, as the king sport it is, obviously it makes people to lose their sense of morality sometimes and makes them to do stupid things, because how invested they feel as fans of certain clubs.

It reminds me the occasion when Brazil lost to Germany im the final match of the World Cup in 2014, I am pretty sure there were riots in the Brazilian cities that same night. It is okey to vent one's feelings and anger, but someone is not supposed to harm anyone physically or economically, for Gods sake. 

This is very sad to hear, I always have this type of unrest feeling about foreign lands and that's because if something happens, they will judge you based on who you are, and if you are from another country you might be served with unfair justice, as I have heard about my people been treated in other countries and this Always makes me wonder if I will ever be able to live in other countries.

A place where you are raised is when known to you, even if the place has its disadvantages you are already used to it, but a different place is completely out of the picture, you have no idea what's waiting on the other side.

I am taking kickboxing classes for protection's sake, no where is actually safe and we need to always be ready for the unexpected, just because it's peaceful around you doesn't mean that you can't get hurt at any time, learn to protect yourself if you can or stay away from crowd places.

I am a football fan too to some extent but I don't always like going to watch a live match when its crowdy, I don't always like crowdy places because I always get discomfort easily, may their souls rest in perfect peace.

I do not blame the sport or the ardent fans but the evil perpetrator and the lapses in the security of the stadium. The heart of an average man is wickedly wicked, this is bad, why would you harm others just because of football? This is preposterous. Just like freedom of speech is our right, the right to support any team is equally our right and should not be taken from us by the bad heads in society. I pray those useless perpetrators of the evil act rot in jail.

But your advice is best fitting for evil people and those who cannot control their feelings simply because of football, and not the people rejoicing as this will never stop. I do not see what those guys they stabbed did that has not been done before in football, so why the hate? For me, I will continue to encourage people to express themselves as they like and not fake anything because of anyone but let's all be security conscious. Whether we like it or not, there will always be division in football where one side will support team A and the other side will support team B, but never should we take it too personally, after all, it is just football.

Totally out of their concern if you do ask me as if these things could really totally happen inside or outside stadiums due to those kind of conflicts in between opposing fans but actually there's no point on having these kind of incident considering that we are really just that free on who we would really be that cheering up into or supporting. For people who do love to go into other places just to show support and have some fun then it isnt really that wrong but make it sure that your level of actions isnt something that could provoke out someones aggressiveness. Im not saying that you shouldnt really be having those reactions but everything should really be in control or something that in moderate manner.

We dont know about on the things that on their mind specially if there's something that do really turns out to be opposing on what they do like and your actions getting in line
that becomes that irritable to them then its likely that it would really be creating conflicts and incidents such as this.

I believe all those fans have reason why they carry out such behavior because, if truly they are the fans of Brighton they would have not put such a thing on social media for other fans to see what they did during the game.

Life doesn't have duplicate and, once something bad happen to you, the people that are close to you will be the one to feel  it past, so fans need to be very careful for the long distance to go and support a particular team because if anything happen to you the team will not know that something happen to their fans.

It has been a very distressing event indeed. I will also agree with you that before leaving our country to support our team or any other team in another country, we need to think about security, especially first of all, we need to see how peaceful the area is, like Africa or areas where I think you should never go to see the game at your own risk in the country where the terrorist hangout. And besides, there is no guarantee that we will be safe if it is a peaceful region, as this topic of yours is telling.
I am actually not encouraging you to go to watch sports in a foreign country, because if you do not control your behavior in your own country, then such incidents can happen from your quarrels or fights with any people. So, first of all, I would say that if you go somewhere else, you should refrain from extra show off.

It might or might not have a connection with them being fans of Brighton and the attackers being fans of the opposite team, however, it proves that Rome isn't a safe country for travellers and tourists if such things can happen. That being said, I would also say that one doesn't need to show what side they are supporting if they know they are supporting the away team and the stadium is full of home fans which could create issues.

Even if you are there to support your team, you don't need to say it out loud or be too expressive about it, just enjoy the game, be happy or sad based on what happens in the game but just keep it to yourself for your personal safety in case home fans aren't very friendly by nature.

Well, unfortunately this is something that we are always going to see in all our games, what surprises me is that in Europe there are these types of people, that personally I see European fans as more civil than any other part of the world, but Of course this is something that not everyone is equal in a society, in every society there are always people who will actually stand out but on the bad side, it is very unfortunate that there is violence thanks to a sport, if this had happened in my country they would sanction the stadium and They sanction the team, either to remove points or suspend the team for a few games, because this is a behavior that should not be allowed, I understand the adrenaline, but fighting among themselves is not going to make the team win or change the situation. marker, violence will never be the right way to do things.

In a local game where I live, I had to go to the brava bar, to South and my team lost, so they were on fire and one of them got the idea that they had to go burn the other team's fans, at that moment I went into action and told them that if they were crazy, or if they were Indians, or if they had fallen asleep, what's wrong with them, they are people, they are human beings, and besides, they are families with children, what's wrong with them, try to burn to people so that they would put them in prison later, fortunately things turned out well and they did nothing, but there were many of them with that idea, fortunately they did not turn against me, because there were like 20 crazy people, I would not have had the opportunity to defend myself.

I think they are just thieves.
I mean, it's good to have an opponent cheering but it should not go as far as hurting them and stealing their possession. This is just madness and I think they are not as sporty as their team. It's nice to see fans cheering loudly for their preferred team but still, that should end with that.
The security too needs to be more strict about this kind of thing. Other sport kicks out the person who does this and worse, they ban them from entering the premises again. I think the announcer needs to keep reminding their fans about it. In basketball, we see different fans visiting the homecourt of the opponent or some do live in that state or city but they prefer the other team, just like in football. So security should expect this to happen and they must prevent it as early as possible. Maybe if they know something is getting heated in one spot, they should start going there to monitor it. Just so they know there are eyes watching them.

Bro this football it can get far personal than you think especially when emotions have gotten in and we cant say for sure the actions of the Brighton fans or what they did to result to such actions from the Roma fans, this kind of stuff happens all the times in street football, it often results to fighting but not up to that extent, the only thing that I'm concerned about is that they forget to take their security seriously for themselves.

It's sad to hear what happened to those Brighton fans in Rome. I may not be a sports fan, but it's important to be cautious and responsible when traveling to watch in foreign countries. Avoid showing off, prioritize safety, beware of surroundings and local laws, and respect customs to avoid getting into trouble and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
