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.

Sports are simply caveman style alpha posturings.

“Right, who fights over soccer?”

Apparently third-world types in third-world sh!tholes.

Daniel Tosh has funny take on why soccer is so popular in third-world countries. The game lasts for 90 minutes and that’s just about how long a person has to run around to be exhausted enough to pass out in a Godforsaken third-world country without air-conditioning.

Yes.

It is HUGE in Los Angeles.

But then LA is the capital of the 3rd world, especially Mexico and Central America.

They boo the American team when they play and cheer on teams from Mexico.

*Their Reconquista will be complete inside a decade.*
The solution is simple. Texas secedes and kicks them out. They’ll be able to immigrate to a blue state.

*“All this over a soccer game?” Who fights over soccer?*
Try the Brits.

I didn’t realize how sharp obsidian knives can be. Sharper than steel! More brittle, of course, but sharper, and sometimes used for plastic surgery.

Of course, the Aztecs weren’t practicing plastic surgery.

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

It is likely that many of them have, but returned for an important soccer match. /S

Scramble 4 A10s just after the next “game” starts.

Not far from human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together and mass hysteria.

I’ve seen those in museums and they look razor sharp. Bears keeping in mind should we ever be thrown back into the stone age.

Well....soccer violence is famous worldwide. It’s not as bad as past decades but still erupts.

Many fans put all their energy into this single sport - it, quite literally, becomes “life and death” if their team wins or not...as dumb as it is.

I saw this growing up in the UK. I laugh when I hear “America is such a violent place”...sure, when it comes to inner city gangs and drugs - but the average culture is far less violent. I’ve *never* been to a sporting event in the USA and feared for my safety. Going to soccer games in the UK in the 80s required eyes in the back of your head and the fans are completely segregated, as they still are today....otherwise they’d tear each other apart with every goal.

Wow. I thought Texas high school games were bad. Guess I really am glad I don’t do soccer.

grown men kick a kids toy around the grass and others watching them kill each other over who’s better at it.

I’ll pass.
