Team sports are generally promoted as a great way to keep fit and build character. However, sporting events such as soccer matches are often accompanied by violence between rival supporters and other forms of antisocial behaviour. If sporting events cause antisocial behaviour, can team sports really be good for us?

In our new age, whereas sports are integrated with our fugitive life and play a vital role to keep us fit, there are some pieces of evidence that they have been gripped by violence these years, and maybe spread vandalism among the community. I presume that it would be like a two-edge sword, and could bring both benefits and drawbacks to us in terms of disparate subjects.
