EDIT: Here's something that is more relevant. I looked at the figures of ANTIFA arrests and arrests at American football games. Vox made a grave mistake by ignoring the per capita rate. The Giants and Jets play at Metlife Stadium, which can seat up to 82,500 people. The 21.5-22.5 arrests per game equals to 0.26-0.27 arrests per 1000 people. At Heinz Field, the 16.8 arrests equals to 0.25 (or 16.8/68,200 x 1000) arrests per 1000 people. At the Oakland Colliseum, the 17.8 arrests equal to 0.32 (or 17.8/56,000 x 1000) arrests per 1000 people. At Berkley, there were 4000 protesters and 13 arrests, which make 3.25 arrests per 1000 people. At Boston, there were 40,000 protesters and 33 arrests, which make 0.825 arrests per 1000 people.

So does .825 arrests per 1000 people, and 3.25 arrests per 1000 people prove that the group is advocating violence?
Violence against Nazi's should be expected.

Aaaand there is the strawman fallacy. Asking the question if football fans hit each other in the head with bike locks or pepper spray each other in the face at games is far more relevant than what you just asked.
Violence against people who commit violence should be expected. Physically harming someone because he/she expresses views that are abhorrent is not self-defense unless he/she is inciting violence (e.g. 'everyone, let's target some Jews and beat'em up!').
