The worst part about all of this is that most of the injuries were said to be from knives and blunt objects... Which begs the question who the hell goes to a soccer game with knives and blunt objects??

Of course there was some people that crossed the line, and are getting charged if caught on video or with a picture. But 72 killed and 1000 injured... I mean come on.

yea, but i mean, sports riots are ridiculous no matter what. egypt is wayyy over the line, but a city losing its shit over a sport is ridiculous regardless. im not condoning 72 dead at all. thats so trivial. people dont deserve to die for their favorite team having put a ball/puck in a net more than your team. people are fucked.

There was going to be a riot if we won or not, most of it was gang related. Think of how easy it would be to start a riot with a bunch of young rowdy kids drunk off their own heads, and we just lost game 7 at home for our first Stanley Cup.

My thoughts exactly. Examples:

A coach in Africa charged at the referee with a knife at which point the ref pulled out a gun

Once a coach got kicked out of the game and then returned to the field. Chasing the ref. In his car.

Not to mention all the riots where people throw flares and molotov cocktails on the field
