            FOOTBALL TERROR İN THE WORLD

  

As we all see,  football is not just a game, sport ;  it is also a reson , a source of fight , diagreement  or conflict  for those that are the  supporter of the diffferent teams . Starting with the born of  football , we can see lots of example of fights between people that fun of different teams . For instance , a recent incident , in our country , the two most  rival team of TURKEY , Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe played the match and after the match , a group of Fenerbahçe funs  attack a Galalatasaray fun and he used his knife to protect himself and killed one of those men . This is a recent incident and there are many other examples of the football terror in most of the countries of the world . Another example is . 1967 Kayseri Atatürk Stadium disaster refers to an occurrence of football hooliganism, resulting in 40 deaths and at least 300 injuries (according to newspaper Hürriyet's headline 600) during the football match held on September 17, 1967 between the clubs of Kayserispor and Sivasspor at theAtatürk Stadium of Kayseri in Turkey. It was the worst sports-related violence to occur in Turkey.

The violence started following provocation of the Kayserispor fans in the half time, whose team went to leading by a goal scored in the first half. Supporters of the two teams threw rocks to each other. Some of the hooligans were also armed with bats and knives. The fleeing crowd caused astampede in front of the stand exits. The events in the stadium were followed by vandalism in Kayseri and many-days lasting riots in Sivas.  

  Actually , sports are the activities that strengthen the rivalry and friendships. It is the first goal of all kind of sports but unfortunately people forget it when something happens that they do not want or face like  loosing matches etc.

 I hope someday people realize the main goal of football and learn to Show respect because sports mean RESPECT.
