Hooliganism and football

Hooliganism is not a new phenomenon. When football started it was played by hundeds of people and violence was common. In the XIX century when teams played supporters often qere fighting each other.
However,the worst hooliganism disater occused in 1985 when 39 supporters died.Since then, authorities tried to control them, in spite of all the difficulties. Some were definitly banned. In the late 90's hooliganism increased again.
Govermments know that social problems can cause violence and sometimes young jobless people can only find identity in organized groups. But football, like all sports can't be pretext for violence.

In fact not only the fans but also the athletes themselves often resort to violence. They turn football fields into...battle fields.
Is this sport?
Have a look.
