Hooligans: Organized Chaos
“I've never lived closer to danger, but I've never felt safer. I've never felt more confident, and people could spot it from a mile away. And as for this, the violence? I gotta be honest - it grew on me. Once you've taken a few punches and realize you're not made of glass, you don't feel alive unless you're pushing yourself as far as you can go.”
What is Hooliganism?
Hooliganism is the cultural following of sports, specifically soccer, associated with team loyalty, exclusivity, and violence. From within the ranks of a powerful London football firm, a journalist gives his perspective on his motivation to join the firm and what keeps him and everyone else coming back each day. Hooliganism is not the casual support of a club; it is not the dedicated nature of fans that never miss a match on television. Hooliganism is the ritual following of a club’s every move, going to every match, home and away and preserving rivalries outside of matches.
