Thank you for your interest in Fans Against Violence (FAV). We are a fan based organization that aims to improve and enhance game day experiences at professional sports venues across the United States. We also hope to encourage good-will and sportsmanship across fan bases. These values have seemed to slip away over the years
as heated rivalries and bragging rights have pushed their way to the forefront of American sports.
While rivalries are a pillar on which our professional sports leagues have built their empires, the hostility that now breeds from these rivalries is hurting fan attendance and destroying the family tradition of sports that we all grew up with. When a dad doesn’t feel it’s safe to take his son or daughter to a ballgame, there is a problem. And that’s exactly what’s happening at stadiums and arenas across the country.
We don’t pretend to have a solution, but we do believe that communication and cooperation are key. Fans have a great deal of power controlling home game climates. If we don’t work together to maintain a safe and family-friendly environment, the leagues, our teams, and even our government will intercede and place further restrictions on us. We believe there’s a better way.
Please take a moment to read the About FAV and Get Involved pages. We welcome your contributions and suggestions. This site is for you, let us know how we can help.
