Football is a popular working class pastime, a great way to get exercise and a great way to socialise as a player or as a fan. Literal billions enjoy football worldwide and there's nothing wrong about that.
But then there's the kind of guy who is so much into football that he makes it a defining part of his personality. These kind of guys are more likely than not to be aggressive and nasty chuds.
I think this is called sublimation. "I, the petite bourgeois / labor aristocrat who benefits from capitalism but is still humiliated by the fact that I am not a billionaire and never will be no matter what I do, must pour my rage at the system in some other direction, since destroying the system will, at the very least, temporarily inconvenience me."
I agree that being into football in a certain way just screams "i like getting into fights", but depending on the club that may also mean "i like to punch nazis every weekend".
Being too intensely interested in football.

Reminds me of the brother in Get Out who monologues about it.
Football guy/girl is like an archetype in every European social circle.
Americans do this with American football too

90% of Eastern European football-obsessed fans are fascists.
