A brief history of tennis

An adaptation of a very ancient sport, the jeu de paume, codified in England in the 1870s, tennis has become a major sport followed by millions of fans throughout the year. Present at the Games from 1896 to 1924, it made its official return to the programme in 1988, and the great Olympic stage has become a key point in the careers of the world’s best tennis players.

The history of football fans from Antiquity to the present day (brief review)

The history of football fans from Antiquity to the present day (brief review)

Organized associations of football fans, groupings, or "firms", as they call themselves, are often invisible in the life of modern society. For an ordinary person the collective image of a football fan is a dense mixture of a socially dangerous alcoholic, bandit, hooligan, drug addict, ready, like a berserker, to destroy everything in his path in a fit of uncontrolled madness. Any person in a club scarf subconsciously causes concern among others.
