Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    How can player violence affect young people watching?

    Model answer

    Violent players act as poor role models. Young people may copy aggressive behaviour in their own sport.

  2. 2

    What costs does spectator violence impose on society?

    Model answer

    Spectator violence needs heavy policing, which is paid for by clubs and the public. Violence can also damage property and injure bystanders.

  3. 3

    How can violence affect the image of a sport?

    Model answer

    Violence makes a sport look dangerous and uncivilised. A poor image can put off families, sponsors and new participants.

  4. 4

    What sanctions can a sport face because of spectator violence?

    Model answer

    A club can be fined, docked points or ordered to play behind closed doors. A nation's clubs can even be banned from competitions.

  5. 5

    What happened to English clubs after the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985?

    Model answer

    Thirty-nine people died at Heysel when a wall collapsed after Liverpool fans charged Juventus supporters. English clubs were then banned from European competition for five years.

  6. 6

    How can violence affect attendance at matches?

    Model answer

    Fear of violence can keep spectators, especially families, away. Lower attendance reduces a club's income.
