Football or Headball.

I've just watched the swedish programme Uppdrag Granskning which tonight was about violence in football, and how the supporters of different football clubs fight each other for what they consider glory and honor and for their teams colours. In some ways I can see why these people like to fight since I'm a very big fan of Muay Thai and MMA and almost daily watch UFC or WEC. But fights on the UFC are organized, with a winner, and a loser, and with a doctor ready if anyone gets seriously injured. The people they talked about in the programme didn't even contact a hospital, not even after getting knocked down and knocked out. I understand why it must feel good to be a part of something, but why do they have to ruin football for so many who just want to have a good time, watch the game with friends and drink a beer and perhaps celebrate. Unnecessary violence in my opinion.
