People have been killing each other since before the Stone Age. Most of the world they'll disappear you and that'll be that. Nancy Grace is not going to look for you, Alyssa Milano is not going to do any speeches. LeBron is not going to retweet your pleas for help. No Kickstarter and no suing corporations either.

People here have no idea how good they have it.

Damn they take their game pretty serious over there.

Yeah, there was this July 14th 1969-July 18th 1969 war between El Salvador and Honduras over a soccer(football) match...... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_War


Edit. In the rest of the world, soccer/football is serious business. Here, it's probably the NFL/AFL American Football sport.. I don't recall any large riots over baseball games or basketball games? Mostly gridiron football riots particularly in large cities with NFL teams?

And they are pretty mild by comparison.

THE MOST INFAMOUS SPORTS RIOTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY

I bet you they get a lot more viewers if they televise the riot instead of just the stupid game.

Ten day waiting period on tickets! Outlaw soccer balls! Buy backs! Registrations! Make it an illegal game!
