Soccer

There is something to be said about football. It is one of the most accessible games in the world, being easy to pick up, understand and exciting to watch with a rare combination of individual skill and teamwork required to succeed. You can watch games for sublime artists like Zidane or the magic of Brazil.

Unfortunately, there are people who obviously have too little in their lives, such that they take the game to the extreme and beyond. Football brings out the worst in some 'fans' due to the anonymity of the crowd mentality. What is worse, is that under the guise of being supporters, precious nothing has been done to curb the continuing violence and hatred that is continually perpetuated in the name of football.

Some people may find this photo funny, personally I think its one of the most depressing photos I have seen.
