Sažetak
This paper concerns itself with female ultras. Following works on hegemonic masculinity that is dominant amongst football ultras, we use the degradation coping strategies in dominantly masculine surroundings that Jones (2008) describes. We describe various ultras activities and define female participation in each one. Regarding this subject, a 5-month long ethnography, containing participant observation inside the ultras group and ten semi-structured interviews with female members of both Zagreb ultras groups (White Angels and Bad Blue Boys), was conducted. We discuss that ritual violence is the strongest link in the chain of hegemonic masculinity inside ultras groups, where ultras who actively participate in violence occupy hierarchically higher positions inside the ultras world. The violent career is however not allowed for ultra girls.
