- if there is a historical or political background to where the event is taking place, e.g, local derby where 2 teams from a local area are playing each other- the fans from both teams want to show they’re better than each other which leads to violence
- If an official makes a controversial decision, the supporters of the team that are negatively affected can become angry and more likely to get involved with violent behaviour with the opposing team’s supporters or towards the official
- If there is violent behaviour shown by the sports players during the event, this can lead to supporters becoming violent
