No but drunkenly beating the sh*t out of each other and abusing disabled children who support the opposite team is par for the course. Just read an article on the latter ten minutes ago actually. Humans can be despicable.

The football thugs don't represent every single person on the planet who enjoys football/sport anymore than your example of a terrorist represents the religion they misinterpret.
