| Popis | Football is a phenomenon of the last decades. Given the long history of spectator sports events consumption it is not a surprising fact that there have also been serious manifestations of spectator aggression. In this context, we realize that the rapid development of sport itself has brought problems and complicated relationships, especially at the professional level. The goal of this paper is to analyze the relationship between fans’ verbal and other expression and their violent behavior at football stadiums in the Czech Republic. Primary data were collected by a questionnaire survey mainly at the Eden stadium and in part also on other first league football stadiums in 2015. A total of 172 respondents aged 25.22 ± 10.46 years old participated in this pilot study, of which 141 were men aged 25.00 ± 9.41 years old and 31 women aged 25.27 ± 10.50 years old. All of the respondents were attending in a stand of home team supporters (end). According to the pilot study, each surveyed respondent of the Slavia end has some features of a supporter, hooligan and a fan. Furthermore, we found that expressions of racism are considered the most serious expression of violent behavior by 80.00% of the spectators. Almost 3/4 of the fans (70.30%) found the most serious activity demolishing stadium and other disturbances. Accurately 2/3 of the spectators marked physical aggression against rival fans in the stadium as a considerable problem. In our surveyed sample of respondents, we cannot distinguish individual visitors internally. Each surveyed respondent of the Slavia end has some features of a supporter, hooligan and a fan. |
