Rivalries are the most entertaining games

[@blabla-rg7ky]

only when they're played on the pitch, and with respect for your rival. You wouldn't have wanted to be a Lazio / AS Roma, Boca Juniors / River Plate or Galata / Fener supporter (even worse, an ultras) 20-30 years ago. People have been stabbed and shot during those encounters

[@ephjissay4077]

​@@blabla-rg7ky Point of correction : Those thugs are not real ultras, they are gangsters taking advantage of the hype of rivalries to recruit adepts and promotes violences and in some countries filthy politicians are under their behavings . Real ultras even from rivals team are from the same social class and most of the time, are oppressed the same way by police and systems , so well that in some countries you can witness very often solidarity, communion of all ultras against the dominating system Eg : tunisia, morrocco, France or Germany.
