Colombian Soccer Riot Surprisingly Drug-Free

Now this is what we were talking about. During a soccer match in Colombia between America de Cali and Deportivo de Cali, a riot broke out in the stands leaving 80 people wounded, including 18 stabbed fans.

The brouhaha kicked up because of a penalty kick that wasn’t called by the ref and the subsequent fight between opposing players and the teams’ head coaches. Luckily, the peanuts and coca men in the stands were left unharmed.

This one is going down in history.

“Surprisingly drug free?”
Talk about an ignorant stereotype! Just to clear the air though, not all Colombians do drugs, and also not every Colombians’ last name is Escobar.
Anymore clarifications needed?
