How well you explained. In our country (Turkey) it is even worse, as
most of the things in a 3rd world country. Can you believe that, almost
after all national league matches and the matches played with teams from
abroad, around ten people are dying or being injured, not just because
of the fights, but also by bullets from weapons fired up to air to
"celebrate"... After the final match of the European Cup thing that won
by Galatasaray, me and my wife lie down to the carpet at our home, since
the sounds of weapon fire like a thunder as combined. Pistols, shotguns,
sports guns, all together.
I hate all the things related to fanatism, and sorry but, I can't feel
anything sad about the ones injured or died while fighting with opposite
side fanatics (innocent bystanders are of course excepted). I hope they
will kill each other someday till no one remains alive. This sounds like
quite harsh, but they are so unaware about any limits that they assume
anyone's life is as worthless as theirs (yes, Turkish fanatics generally
has nothing to lose, and fight to kill, with no fear about to be
killed).
