At the exit, a father and son were waiting to get on the XXXX bus. He was wearing XXXX jerseys. A group of Fanatics passing by, mentioned Father and son verbal abuse, gestures, gestures and behaviors. They harassed the father and son by banging on the window of the minibus they were getting on and shouting. They seriously shouted at the boy. The child was between the ages of 10-12. At that moment, I witnessed the facial expression of the child, he was really scared and crying. His father was trying to calm him down, but the boy was terrified. People around who saw this reacted with me . They tried to drive the fanatic group away from there. The people there reacted by saying, "What are you doing, is a child treated this way?" Father and son left by minibus. And they drove the group away from there.”  

“It was an important match, it was breaking through. Everyone was very nervous. There were occasional verbal provocations with the opposing team players. But they were all friends we knew. In the 8th minute of the 3rd quarter of the match, a friend from our team and a friend from the opposite team started to argue with each other in the corner of the field. To protect our friend, we ran to that side with the team players who saw this. Although we do not want such events to be seen in sports, it was a situation that could be considered normal in terms of age until that time. The real problem was that a lot of parents booed the players at the time. As we learned later, two parents were highly educated people themselves. One was a doctor and the other a lecturer at a university. These people made unspeakable insults. While our coach was trying to calm the parties in the face of the events, a parent standing in the grandstand pushed me. Our coach got very angry when he saw the parent's behavior towards me. Our coach came out to the tribune and could not control his anger. When there are parents who want to harm us.”

When he was a young Athlete, a conflict broke out between him and the opposing team in a final match. A few players on the opposing team are trying to demoralize this male player by pointing to the team and himself with gestures and facial expressions. Opposing team players swearing and insulting. The event grows and reflects on the coaches and managers of the teams. The coach makes threatening sentences by provoking the Athlete, implying what will happen to him at the end of the match. These negative statements are also reflected in the referee's decisions and the emotional state of the stands. At that time, families are involved in the event with a protective attitude, since the athletes are young.

“I can buy all of you poor people. You don’t belong in sports”.

The “typical” Italian hand gesture to say “what do you want?” became means of mockery, followed by the gesture of the “middle finger” to insult and scorn.

“Your mother is a bitch” (referred to a young referee). When people stopped insulting him, the witness told them that the referee could be their son.
