# A stupid, violent minority that does not exist in the audience of most other sports?
What is it about football that attracts this sort of supporter?

# it's popularity, especially with those from disadvantaged backgrounds
probably the fact that two people can play at least some form of football; whether it be pass-and-shoot, heads-and-volleys, two-touch, etc... whereas most other sports rely on a full team structure...

another aspect, at least at my school, is that football is used as a way to placate unruly students in a case of "just give them football and shut them up", without tackling (lol) and underlying issue.

# ahh, so it's poor people, not football, that are to blame

# ahhh.... right...

I watch football, porn, violent movies etc and play violent video games and can watch football without wanting to attack others.

so one can't blame a sport for the actions choose to take.
