I am not sure that football necessarily breeds sectarianism. It is the sectarianism you object to rather than the football, isn't it? As for idiots who indoctrinate people with casual hatred - One can only agree with you Smallpiper. In my experience of Scots, setarianism has certainly been the exception rather than the rule. In the rest of the UK we have our own football bigots and morons to embarrass us. Why don't we just send your sectarian bigots and our racist bullies off to an island somewhere where they need never to embarrass either of us again? Then the rest of us could have more fun at football matches...
