Players' attack by opposing fans: How can this menace be stemmed?
Greetings everyone,
It's been quite a while since I updated this page. Having returned to being active sports blogger some weeks ago, last 6 days have been my frost time of being non active here. Hope this doesn't continue.
However, let's get down to the business of the day — how can annoying activities of violent fans be stemmed?
On several occasions, I have read the news of players being attacked by opposing fans. This had happened in one South American country that I can't really recall the name. It has happened in Egypt, Tunisia and in countless number of developing countries. And I don't know how seriously sport regulators have been handling this menace.
Just recently, I watched the scene of merciless beating of Enyimba players by Plateu United fans and I was dumbfounded — what the heck is wring with Nigeria football?! How do you attack players of opposing team just because the match didn't end in your favour!?
That's barberic and I think football arbiters aren't doing enough to stamp this out of football experience. This is not the first time this is happening! In fact, it's a trend these days. And I think regulators should take harder stance on this.
What're your opinions regarding this?

Very yours,

You are right, football regulators are not doing their job, they are supposed to ensure the safety of players not leaving them at the Mercy of angry fans. And I think that they should know best how to protect their own from this barbarism.
You're damn right in your opinion. Thanks

STOPViolence in and outside stadiums has been a problem for as far as I can remember. I think officials are doing a better job to control this inside the arenas, but doing the same outside becomes complicated. For instance, in France, I remember some teams being attacked in their transportation. It's often some small objects or rocks being thrown at the buses, but it can escalate quickly, and arbiters can't be everywhere.
That's an indebt assessment. Thanks for your opinion
