Football hooliganism has proven the victory of the bourgeoisie

The majority of football's traditional fans are from the proletariat; when football hit the big time, they were badly educated, raised in violent conditions, and using club rivalries as a way of exorcising anger.
When it became the biggest sport in Britain, and the proletariat became the class to "be in", all the businessmen, etc, turned up at the matches, and acted just like their poorer brethren.
However, a lot of football violence is blamed on alcohol. Let's take a comparable sport, and disprove this theory.
At rugby matches, there have hardly ever been incidences of crowd violence. Though often the stands are filled with alcohol, the different supporters are not segregated as in football; and yet, somehow, they get along.
Why? Because the roots of rugby are in the middle class, and very few of the all time greats come from lower class families; their standards of behaviour have set a particular level to which their fans and their descendents on the pitch must rise to.
This seems to me to prove, sadly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that class DOES matter...
Anyways, */rant* etc
