Abstract

The theme of the article is football violence. The main idea is to understand the reasons and meanings that hooligans give to their own actions inside and outside the football field. Data were collected from interviews with hooligans. The concepts of the civilizing process and sport as a reserve space of controlled violence were placed in question. The results indicate that the profile of hooligans is different than the imagined by common sense. Participation in a network of relationships and the seek for excitement in fights instead of the in football game seem to govern the motivation of those fans.
