syllogism

Piet, you as an Ado support have no right to say that football violence should be punished because that would be hypocrite, because you ado supporters are the biggest hooligans in Holland.

In the above example the syllogism is:

Piet is an Ado Den Haag supporter.
Ado Den Haag supporters are hooligans.
Therefore Piet is a hypocrite if he complains about football violence.

The argument is wrong, because not all Ado Den Haag supporters are hooligans.
