In this article, we reflect on the analysis of behaviors that transform the leisure afforded by the soccer into a spectacle of violence and vandalism. Although the individual may commit acts of vandalism alone, usually participate in these violent actions in groups. This fact, common among soccer fans, may be explained by the possibility of using the protection and enhancement, when they are in a group. The impunity and lawlessness prevailing in modern society characterized by personal satisfaction, pleasure, and fulfillment of desires, are leveraging these facts. Studies show that many aspects of Freud's theories may be related to the issues discussed in this essay on the causes of violence and its development, particularly in the context of pep rallies, such issues should be thought beyond the subjective, also in the socio-historical given the importance of all social, cultural, economic, and education.

Keywords : Violence; soccer; behavior; Freud.
