They had to take off the little boys shirt so he wouldn’t be attacked by the fans of the other team. The scenes out of the Atlas vs Queretaro game are gruesome. pic.twitter.com/1xb5ZtvWDw

It’s a situation that is simply beyond disgusting, and that’s putting it lightly. I can’t imagine something like this ever happening at a sporting event that I’m attending.
How could it? How could anyone start a massive brawl and beat the living hell out of people over a sports game?
It’s sickening.

It’s soccer, folks! It’s a sporting event. It should be a good time, and yes, there can be some trash talk and hostilities.
However, the moment things get violent, there’s simply no excuse and everyone responsible should be dealt with in the harshest way possible.

Let’s hope like hell we never see carnage like this at a sporting event in America. We can’t tolerate this kind of violence.
