Fan on Fan Violence

I have witnessed many forms of violence, verbally and physically at games, but the question is why does this occur? Throughout our lives, we have learned to watch our home teams that represent our cities and take pride in the teams we love. From a young age we are influenced by our parents and the teams they love, but sometimes we follow their actions as well. This can be good in some cases and also harmful depending on the way they act around us. We often tend to follow our parent's actions and this may influence our behavior in the real world. As 99 percent of the people act properly in the stadium, you have the 1 percent of people that are ready to cause trouble. The next question we ask is how can we stop the 1 percent? The sad truth is we can't because people are going to act the way they do no matter what, it's just real life. This seems to happen in everyday life as well, people tend to act justified but you always have an extreme case.
