spectator violence  

Definición

  • Violence at or in conjunction with sports events can involve spectators in one of three ways: Players may attack spectators, spectators may attack players or match officials, or spectators may fight among themselves. Probably the most frequently reported form of spectator violence in the modern world is the so-called problem of football or soccer hooliganism, a form that involves attacks on players, match officials, and, above all, fights between spectator groups.
