    It's the fans of the teams, not the teams.

    And more specifically, the "ultras," or organized fans.

    I cannot think of very many ultras groups that don't sit in the curve, but there was at least one in Naples. So it isn't exactly 100% but extremely close...

    shouldn't it be illegal to mix politics with sports?

    Sicilian Ultras

    Sicily
    Right-wing
    Catania (Ultras Ghetto, Drunks, South Boys etc.)
    Palermo (Brigate Rosa Nero and Warriors etc.)

    Acireale and Messina ultras are apolitical (neutral).

    BTW, Black And White Fighters (Juventus) are definitely far right.

    ultras in italy are extreme. by that i mean that they feel they should have powers they shouldnt have. the infighting among The Black and White Fighters throughout the years are absolutely rediculous. now they arent united at all from what i understand, which i guess is okay. that they, all ultras, vent their religious, political and racial standings at soccer games is just pathetic. its sports. period. to demand the dismissal of a coach is one thing, but to display any kind of racist banners should be punished severily and they should never be allowed to attent sporting events again.

    i have a favorite though. for the people in the north, they dont regard south italy as worth much at all.. so when Napoli eventually get back into Serie-A and travel to northern italy, expect the ultras to bring back the

    "WELCOME TO ITALY, SOUTHERNERS"

    :cool:

    I think in today's world, as in past eras as well, it is unclear and inadequate to just label "left" or "right" on an indivdual, group, or organization. For example.. you listed Lazio and Roma ultra fans as "right", but those fans are really different in political terms. Lazio ultras are labeled "right-wing" because of historical fascist leanings, hence this picture of Di Canio "saluting" his supporters after netting the opening goal against Roma ...

    [​IMG]

    Whereas Roma fans are labeled "right-wing" because they are conservative. And fascism is something entirely different than conservativism. In "left-wing" category, Livorno, Modena, and Ancona are labeled such because many of their ultras are socialist leaning. But Milan and other are labeled "left-wing" because of liberal leanings. Again, liberlism and socialism is entirely different. Also, the president of AC Milan (which you listed as "left-wing") who just resigned a couple of months ago after his 19-year reign was the conservative Prime Minister of Italy. Anyways, teams really do have fans with diverse backgrounds, I never agree with the generalizations.

    This guy is a nut...

    Lazio's ultras are not labeled "right-wing" for any historical reason. They are labeled right-wing because they've been well-known to display Nazi flags and anti-Semitic banners. A very small group within the Curva Nord are anti-fascists but the vast majority are fascists.

    Of course labeling any group one way or the other is not entirely accurate but there's nothing wrong with it.

    As for Roma, the Curva Sud is very diverse. From far-right to far-left.

    In Milan there is an agreement of sorts to ban politics from Curva. Most groups lean one way but everyone is officially apolitical. I wouldn't say that those who are left are mainly "liberals" either. I know other Redskins in Milan.

    I don't think very. Destra as opposed to Estrema Destra. :)

    What about Udinese? I have heard most of the Friuli fans are tilted strongly to the left.

    I don't know a great deal about Udinese ultras in terms of politics but they are definitely not left-wing.

    The Nord Kaos (1989) are right-wing. I'd imagine any other groups are the same or apolitical.

    If you're talking about the regular fans and not the ultras that's a whole other story... ;)

    EDIT: Could you tell me about Universidad's barra in a PM?

    Utras Italy.
    Right Wing:
    Lazio, Roma , Inter , Juventus , Palermo , Udinese , Verona , Ascoli
    Piacenza , Bari , Salernitana , Catania , Napoli 70% others neutral.
    Como.

    Left Wing: Atalanta , Genoa , Cosenza , Ancona , Torino , Fiorentina ,
    Perugia , Milan 70% left 30% right, Brescia , Pistoiese , Modena , Empoli, Venezia.

    Neutral are: Sampdoria , Lecce , Parma , Vicenza , Luchesse , Siena , Cesena , Messina , Bologna ,

    Friendships : Lazio , Fiorentina , Verona , Inter , with Parma.

    As Roma with Udinese and Palermo.

    Atalanta with Sampdoria Cagliari Venezia.

    Napoli , Genoa Ancona Cosenza Fiorentina Pescara are together a large group.

    Torino with Fiorentina.

    Juventus and Piacenza has too good relations.

    Thats what i know.

    But who,s often the winner isn,t it that there are referees who are fans of right wing clubs in let they win or is it not based on the orientation of one group ? It seems for me that Right Wing clubs are always the winners.
