1. We All Agree, My Team Is Better Than Your Team – how people behave
   
   

Having picked their sides, how did people proceed to behave. As I
mentioned before, the answer is generally “like a bunch of football
supporters”. You only have to take a cursory look at football websites
after a contentious game (or, God help us, in a week when a star
player has been charged with aggravated or sexual assault) to see that
sports partisanship can blind people to any hint of impropriety on the
part of anyone on their own side, while giving them an all-seeing
insight into errors on the other side. And when they believe
themselves to be supporting their team, it is astonishing how low
people will stoop in their attempts to taunt the other side.

Not sure about this bit

At the Liverpool/Everton derby last week, the week before the
Hillsborough inquest reported, there were credible reports that
Everton fans were making a “bars across face” gesture – in other
words, a simulation of a person being crushed to death against
fencing. This was, of course, as it always is, a small and
unrepresentative minority[1]. But it’s the sort of thing that happens.
