Life, Death and Football. When fans are ready to sacrifice anything

  • last month
For many Greeks, football is life. Local identities, business interests and even politics are inextricably bound up with sports clubs. But the passion comes with a dark side and, in recent years, the cost of supporting a team has been violence and even death. In Life, Death and Football CGTN Europe’s Evangelos Sipsas examines why fans are so ready to risk their own lives and those of others through conversations with a fan, a police officer, a journalist, a professor and a father whose son paid the ultimate price for his allegiance.
