Social level and intelligence & being fan of a club/player

People with high intelligence like high intelligence play and players, and the other way around. People in a low social level (high crime rate, low income) like players that are more known for their bling and arrogance (balotelli, cr7). Do you guys believe that there is a connection?

what else can we expect from catalans... calling ronaldo & balotelli arrogant hahahahaha... i bet that u know nothing about their pasts

i bet that u dunno that ronaldo sold his goldenboot to donate 1.5mil euros to build schools in gaza or that he donated 30mil pounds to build schools in somalia etc...

u r just a jealous hater... im not a balotelli fan, but hes a great human being, not arrogant at all... the only arrogant thing about him is something that i read recently(smoking in a train, disobeying the law) for the rest hes a great person

What I do think is true, is that some "stupid" people use supporting a football club as a cheap excuse for their stupid actions, talking about violence, vandalism, racism et cetera here. "We lost? Let's go beat up some of their fans!"

See you got things wrong you went ahead and assumed on this one. Being an ultra or hooligan has nothing to do with intelligence. Some people I know that are ultras and have finished good schools and have successful careers. That is a lifestyle choice based on many things but not intelligence. In some cases yes you have dumb fans who do things they shouldnt but not every case!

Including ultras there is a bit questionable, I associate them first and foremost with fanatic support which is wild but not law-breaking or strongly against the norms.

Hooligans who carry out acts of violence in the name of their club are idiots to me.

Furthermore, intelligence is not just about how smart you are in school or how successful professionally. That doesn't have to relate to your self-conduct, which when violent, discriminating or otherwise too aggressive is simply stupidity.
