Abnormal behavior of sports spectators is one of the negative consequences of competitive sports such as football, which can create false sensitivities towards this sport in different societies and lead to misbehavior among spectators, which in addition to the game process, also inflames society. Due to the importance of the subject under study, the present study has done a sociological study of factors affecting abnormal behaviors among 400 persons of the football spectators in Tehran in 2017.
