After watching the documentry "football factory's: international" i found that in argentina unlike in the UK (where hooliganism is scrutinized but also glamourised) football violance is almost accepted as being a natural order. in live football matches the camera constantly zooms to the crowd and the football hooligans in the stands. the commentators would then react to something like this and name out the hooligans and even point out which "firm" they are with. its almost like the hooligans have as big a celebrity status as the football players in argentina.the newspaper reports are just as blatent. the majority of newspapers see the hooligans as a twelth man on the field and in some ways positive. although these may be extreme case scenario's of media excetance, is our movie industry and music any different in the way they glamourise violance and football violance? surely they are the same thing.
