Case Study Of Club America Vs. Dallas Texans

Decent Essays
Soccer crowds can become aggressive when their team starts to lose that includes me. In 2013 I went to go see club America (Mexico) vs Dallas Texans (USA). I was raised in Texas but I was born in Mexico so the team I was going for was club America. The first team to make a goal was club America so I was happy and rooting for my team but midway thru the game the Texans made a goal and tied the game, I was screaming and cursing to my rooting team, club America to make another goal, because I didn’t want them to lose. My frustration of club America being tied with the Dallas Texans turned very aggressive, which is FRUSTRATION AGGRESSION THEORY. At the end of the game club America won 2-1 so you can imagine I was very relaxed and not aggressive

This is similar to what is going on in the NFL today, but the players are being looked at as disrespectful in some people's eyes.…
