fights break out in stands as supporters beat up rivals and strip them NAKED At least 22 people were brutally injured in a football match in Mexico yesterday The game between Queretaro and Atlas was suspended when fights broke out Unconfirmed reports of deaths amid footage of fans bloodied and unresponsive Security opened the gates so women and children could escape to the pitch

At least 22 people were brutally injured - two of them seriously - after a football match descended into carnage in central Mexico yesterday.

Unconfirmed reports are circulating that up to 17 people could have died attending the game between the host Queretaro and Atlas from Guadalajara - the reigning league champion.

The match was suspended in the 62nd minute when multiple fights suddenly broke out in the stands - with men seen tearing off the jerseys of their rivals.

Security personnel opened the front gates to the field so that fans, including women and children, could escape the stands.

Players from visiting Atlas quickly fled to the locker rooms as did some from the Queretaro side. Other Queretaro players, including Uruguayan goalie Washington Aguerre, stayed near the bench trying to calm the fans.

Shocking footage shared online shows bloodied fans - some of them stripped naked - lying unresponsive outside the ground as others continue to kick and punch at them.

After several minutes fighting in the stands, some of the fights moved on to the field where they continued punching and kicking. Some revellers were armed with chairs and metal bars.

One fan could be seen pulling a knife to cut the nets of one goal. Others destroyed one side's bench and some fought in the tunnel to the field.

They were confused. They thought they were at a wedding reception.

We could solve all these problems for Mexico by just bringing all these football "fans" to the United States, ...

It’s documented, that in past matches, as team USA exited the stadium in Mexico City after playing team Mexico, the Mexican fans, among other things,poured bottles of urine on them.

I’m surprised these stellar citizens haven’t already made the trek north.

They are, without exception, virtuous and deserving. That’s what the media propagandists want us to think.

Phony governor Abbott has let them bleed into our southern border and so called conservatives will reelect him anyway.

What were the ones who were killed described as, if not “brutally”??

Only semi-seriously mildly brutally sorta mostly kinda killed.

Apparently they get bored in the stands during these hour long 1-0 games.
