Such anti-social behaviour can be seen in the fans of many football clubs in Europe. The recognized teams have a lot of pressure to win every game they play. However, it is important to understand that winning and losing are two sides of a same coin and thus should be accepted gracefully.  More than often, supporters of a winning team mock the members and supporters of rival teams – and forget that being nasty will not help.

This behaviour is inculcated young when children start following these teams, if the behaviour is not corrected at the right age by parents and peers, it can be dangerous. The advantages and skills learned due to team sports outweigh the antisocial behavior at the sporting events, which does not happen all the time.
