That isn't really a theism-exclusive problem though.

Look at hooliganism. It's a gross distortion of what it means to be a fan of a team, but it's still based on that. You can look at it and say "they aren't real fans, they're just trouble makers" but is that not the same as what people say about ISIS? They aren't "really" the way we are, they're just trouble makers looking for a cause.

Should we seek to rid ourselves of the fandom of sport and community that it brings because there is an extremely ugly side to it? (Which admittedly isn't really experienced in Canada).

Any time you have a community, you'll have another with different values.
