Hey vimesey
​
I watched a movie called The Green Street Hooligans. It is about football fan violence in the UK and a rowdy bunch of guys who go around beating the shit out of people.
​
I was wondering how much of that really goes on. It blows my mind that a game of football would drive people to beat on the head of someone else who also loves the game but just the wrong team.

Sports violence
Holy shit. I was reading up on what football was like in Honduras and came across this.
​
Honduras is also notable for the Football War which was fought against El Salvador, after the Salvadorans qualified for the 1970 World Cup eliminating Honduras. The elimination by the Salvadorans initiated the armed conflict after political tensions due to the deportations of Salvadoran nationals (see Football War).
​
I thought sports were what you did instead of killing each other.

Re: Sports violence
The game did not cause the war. It was because of immigrants. Why would El Salvador be mad at us for a game they won?
​
Oh sorry I brought it up.
