Desde 1924 a 1957They occurred 12 Argentine soccer-related deaths, but everything changed from the lateearly years 50. After the death of Mario Linker at the hands of police in1958, It begins with a step of normal violence, They are born "hooligans ".
¿What are the Brave Bars?
The termgood slash It appears in Argentina, at the beginning of the decade 1960, until then the violent episodes were minority in Argentine football, only twelve deaths were related to the beautiful game between 1924 y 1957. In a clash between Velez Sarsfield fans, River Plate and police, died, at the hands of the latter, Mario Linker. Because of the murder of this fan of River Plate, in october 1958, the company becomes aware of the existence of organized groups around football. This phenomenon has spread throughout South America. To give us an idea of increased violence, only in Argentina, desde 1958 hasta 2003, related deaths football add a whopping 237 deceased.
Most members of a "Hooligan" and workers come from poor neighborhoods, places with a high rate of social exclusion. We must differentiate members of the group, organized hierarchically, among the leaders or references, they are what make lucrative business of football and group members, they develop a sense of belonging to a group, obtaining a protection would not be out of it. These groups exploit that situation in the world of sports allowed temporary release, where drug use, adrenaline and alcohol are an explosive cocktail that incites violence.
Funding for brave bars, at least an important part, comes from the clubs themselves, where collusion with these groups is absolute, giving them tickets for leaders to do their business, completing the sale of drugs and extortion, in some cases, own leaders and club players. To finish, police and politicians wash their hands, and even use the bars for their own benefit. It's all a vicious circle, where politics intermingle, el fútbol, the drugs, violence and corruption.
