Lil Bit Special Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2012/12/11/turkish-wheelchair-basketball-rivalry-explodes-into-a-riot-tear-gas-used/ Evidently, they take wheelchair basketball very seriously in Turkey. Fans of bitter rival teams Galatasary and Besiktas hurled objects onto the court midway through the second quarter of their game last weekend, injuring several players. Players and coaches attempted to reason with the rabid crowd, but it was to no avail, as the police were subsequently called in and used tear gas to disperse the angry mob. Wow, and I thought we take our rivalries seriously. Puts Auburn-Alabama or Yankees-Red Sox in a different light doesn’t it? I doubt things would have gone this way if my man was on the scene. Now that’s a man who knows how to deal with an unruly crowd. You don’t live in Istanbul, you live in Constantinople. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Division Marduk Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Not surprising at all. Galatasaray fans are psychopaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 On the bright side, due to the rioting the league would have more players newly put into wheelchairs to enhance the talent pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
