• Group identity and loyalty can lead to a
"us vs. them" mentality that fuels
aggressive behavior
• Social norms within the football
community can reinforce the idea that
physicality and toughness are key traits
of successful players
• The "winner takes all" mentality, where
victory is valued above all else, can
increase the likelihood of players using
aggressive tactics
