Now, I get that DV is domestic violence!
This is pretty cool on the part of these women volunteering, but geez....
DV is a threat because a sports team loses (or wins)?
Awful.

now, I'm a male and have been a drunken fan on more than one occasion. But it NEVER manifested itself in violence. Mostly just pathetic resignation that most of my teams suck. And when they won, it resulted in a glorious drunken revelry. So sad this is necessary...

I just saw a terrible video on DU of people leaving Wembley and getting into serious fights. I guess it stands to reason that these will continue at home.

Sickening beyond belief.
