“...Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos in the Peania area...”


A litle background (I worked in Greece 4 years): These are hard core rivalies-—in soccer and all sports. Panathinaikos is the Athens team and the Olympiakos is the Piraeus team.

The “Peania” is a lower working class area-—their lives revolve around soccer mainly and fans will erupt in this kind of idiocy at times...like stupid fans everywhere.(this is a generalization of course)

As a Freeper, I like to keep on top of such things...

It's a good thing that there are Americans still willing to do these menial tasks.
Thank goodness you're keeping U.S. labor from being displaced by illegal immigrants in this vital field of work!
