Of course, one should never draw conclusions about the general public from an action: But precisely because of such incidents, square storms should be absolutely condemned. I really don’t understand how some “fans” can justify and excuse something like this with emotions.
To put it bluntly, because European football fans are completely stuck.
Ultras who think they are the only real fans because they are the loudest and everyone else is only half as important as they are and with that they justify any nonsense, whether it’s pyro, violence, property damage or whatever.
”Normal” fans who think that because their club has existed longer than other clubs, that this is such a great achievement and that you are therefore more valuable than newer clubs.
Traditional bullshit & hypocrisy, fans of clubs that are a joint stock company are most noticeable when it comes to hatred towards RB Leipzig (e.g. BVB fans throwing a stone towards normal fans) / Hoffenheim (crosshair scandal and whatever)… and check this double standard not even.
In Germany there is even cheering when the oh so traditional SC Freiburg forbids fan articles to be manufactured with RB Leipzig, limited nonsense which is also cheered on by what feels like 80-90%.
I could go on forever, we Europeans are complete Neanderthals when it comes to football and you can see from my events that nothing will change that either, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the unsympathetic Englishmen who are rioting or the super friendly Frankfurters who are currently so super in this country then they are just rioting, which is often swept under the rug in this country to preserve the image of the German clubs, but woe to you again in France what will happen then on the front pages of Transfermarkt and co…
It’s good that football is becoming more and more Americanized, nobody needs all that nonsense and football is for EVERYONE and not for a few *****s who think they’re something super special, so I’m absolutely for the way at the moment many clubs follow the Premier League model (although the English are constantly rioting away from home).
Many complain at Juve about the bad mood, but that’s kind of irrelevant, it’s better to have a ‘bad’ mood and be able to go to the stadium safely than there was violence after the games like a few years ago, any homemade bombs in a duel against Torino or other nonsense.
