That's how I feel about Hockey.
.

I used to watch hockey just to see the fights. but, I dunno, I think they took it too far, like they're expected to fight now. My kids used to play street hockey so I had some interest in it. I was reminiscing about it one night so thought I'd watch some youngsters play hockey on the youtube so searched some up, and what did I see? 6 & 7 year olds fighting on the ice. That was just wrong and sort've tee'd me off.

Some of us are Americans. A football field isn't called a pitch in the U.S. I had no idea what you were talking about either.

Pitch as a football/soccer field has been in use since about the 1900's everywhere

Nope, not everywhere. Not here. At least I've never heard the field in a football game referred to as a pitch. Not even by professional sportscasters. Not in a soccer game either, but then I haven't watched much soccer. See, ya learn somethin new everyday.

people die in riots.

if one is going to take the moral high ground. then be sure that you don't have the sin.

Football hooliganism involves a wide range of behaviour, including:

• taunting, e.g. by abusive chanting, sometimes obscene
• spitting
• unarmed fighting
• throwing of objects on to the pitch, either in an attempt to harm players and officials or as a gesture of insult (as when bananas are thrown towards players of black African origin, the implication being that they are monkeys)
• throwing of objects at opposing supporters, including stones, bricks and Molotov cocktails.[2][3]
• use of pyrotechnic devices such as flares and smoke bombs
• fighting with weapons including sports bats, glass bottles, rocks, rebar, knives, machetes and firearms.[5]
• disorderly crowd behaviour such as pushing, which may cause stadium fixtures such as fences and walls to collapse. Similar effects can occur when law-abiding crowds try to flee disorder caused by hooligans.

people die on holligan riots. it even said that soccer was ban in certain countries. in America we don't have to call in the cops for football games because of that stuff. it simply is rare. but according to that its a problem in Denmark.

therefore per your argument of guns, ban it!

in your country and team

Spain[edit]
Football hooliganism in Spain arises from three main sources. The first is racism, as some black players have been victims of ethnic slurs. Samuel Eto'o, a former FC Barcelona player from Cameroon, has denounced the problem. The second source is the strong rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona. After transferring from Barcelona to Real Madrid, Luís Figo's appearance in Barcelona's Nou Camp Stadium triggered a strong reaction. The crowd threw bottles, mobile phones and other things (including a pig's head). Although nobody was injured the match was followed by a large discussion on fan violence in the Spanish Primera División. Hooliganism is also rooted in deep political divisions arising from the General Franco fascist regime days (some Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Espanyol, Real Betis Balompie or Valencia CF ultras are linked to franquista groups), the communist ones, (such as Deportivo La Coruña, Athletic Club Bilbao, Sevilla FC, Celta de Vigo, Rayo Vallecano) and the independentist movements in Catalonia (like FC Barcelona) and the Basque region. In Spain, organized hooligan groups are popularly called grupos ultra. Two notorious ones are the Boixos Nois and the Ultras Sur, supporter groups of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.
In 1991, Frederiq Roiquier, a French supporter of Espanyol de Barcelona was killed by FC Barcelona hooligans which mistook him for an Espanyol hooligan.[79] In 1992 a 13-year-old child died in Espanyol stadium before a flare impact in his thorax.[80] In 1998, Aitor Zabaleta, a supporter of Real Sociedad was killed by an Atlético Madrid hooligan[81] who was linked to a neo-Nazi group (Bastión), just before a match between these two teams. In 2003, a supporter of Deportivo La Coruña was killed in riots by Deportivo hooligans, when he tried to protect a supporter of the opposing team, SD Compostela. Since then, authorities have made attempts to bring hooliganism more under control. In 2007, there were acts of hooliganism before a match between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, with several cars being destroyed and policemen injured by flares and bottles which were thrown at them.[82] Many black foreign players have been racially abused, such as at a recent friendly match between Spain and England, in which black England players such as Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ashley Cole endured monkey chants from Spain supporters.[83] There also have been local disputes between rival teams, for example between Cádiz Club de Fútbol and Xerez CD, Real Betis Balompie and Sevilla FC or Deportivo de La Coruña and Celta de Vigo.
Hooligan violence in Spain decreased since the late '90s due to hooligan laws which attempt fines up to 600,000 euros and bans of two years without access to stadiums.[84]
Since 2003 FC Barcelona hooligans, the Boixos Nois are not allowed to enter in Camp Nou. The hardcore of Barcelona hooligans subgroups were involved in police operations against organized crime.[85] In 2008, after a hooligan incident versus Espanyol, FC Barcelona very publicly took a stand on violence, saying it hoped to stamp out violence for good.[86] In 2007 Atlético Madrid hooligans clashed with Aberdeen FC hooligans prior to a UEFA Cup match.In 2009 and 2010 Atlético Madrid hooligans also clashed with FC Porto and Sporting Clube de Portugal in Portugal during UEFA Cup games. In 2012 a Rayo Vallecano Hooligan was arrested during riots in 14-November general strike and accused of terrorism.[87] He was released from prison 9 of January 2013 in the middle of media attention.[88]

I was looking a I saw more violence in that then I would have thought. soccer isn't so peaceful. but this unheard of in America. why is that?

The fans were shooting guns?

I said, provide fact that players (not fans) killed one another on the football pitch.

Do not twist the question again
